In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, we sit down with the multi-faceted Amrutha Dongray—a poet, author, and jewellery designer—who shares the winding path she’s taken to find her voice, both on the page and in life.
Amrutha opens up about growing up with strong parental influences, how early leadership roles shaped her, and the big move from Bombay to Bangalore that changed everything. She talks about how adopting pets helped her face fears and feel love in a new way, and how writing poetry became a form of emotional release and healing.
We also dive into the not-so-glamorous side of publishing a book, her love for building creative communities through poetry events, and how she redefines success on her own terms.
This episode is a celebration of reinvention, resilience, and the quiet strength of being kind to oneself. Amrutha’s story reminds us that it’s never too late to chase a dream, and that age is no barrier when the heart leads the way.
