Meet Radha
From fear to freedom: a journey of self-acceptance and leadership.
Hi, I am Radha Krishnaswamy. I am glad you are here — it means you are eager to grow.
With two decades of corporate experience, I have navigated complex business landscapes, led diverse teams and driven strategic initiatives. Earning my MBA at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, deepened my understanding of business dynamics and leadership.
I was born in a society where girls were seen as a liability rather than an asset. Societal judgement — and the judgement of others — told me who I should be, what I should value and how I should live. But I chose a different path. I became my own person, built my own values and wrote my own narrative. It was tough, and it was also one of the most rewarding journeys of my life.
Self-acceptance is the foundation of growth. When you let go of fear, you step into your true power.

Working with Radha over the past year has been a truly transformative experience that I am deeply grateful for. I first came to her feeling cautious, anxious, and constantly overwhelmed by a cycle of overthinking. However, her insightful guidance helped me untangle and simplify challenges that I once viewed as impossibly complex. The sessions are consistently engaging, and the progression toward my personal goals feels incredibly smooth and natural. This shift toward mindfulness and staying present has profoundly impacted both my professional work and my daily life. I highly recommend coaching with Radha and Becoming Next You to anyone seeking greater mental clarity, mindfulness, and peace.

I enrolled in the 6-month Mental Fitness Program. Before working together, I was constantly bogged down by almost anything in my day-to-day life. I was sweating the little things. After I started working with Radha, I learned how to reflect on my own thoughts and feelings, and ground myself in the present moment. The coaching, practices and methods I learned helped me be more aware of what is going on with my body and mind when feeling negative feelings. I feel a significant improvement in my day-to-day life, I’m much more grounded in the present moment, and I can focus on what is important to me. I would recommend it to anyone who is in my position and is feeling overwhelmed. Working with Radha changed my perspective on difficulties and overcoming them.
Coaching with Radha provided a safe space to reconnect with my voice, my purpose — and just be myself.

As an artist, my journey has been marked by questions, pauses and a search for clarity. Beginning my coaching journey with Radha provided a safe space to reconnect with my voice, purpose and just be myself. I learned the importance of acknowledging my thoughts and feelings, rather than disregarding my emotions. For a long time, I underestimated myself and felt overwhelmed by self-doubt. Over time, coaching helped me build courage in my creative process and grow in confidence and freedom. Radha has a unique ability to help you reconnect with the light within. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a fresh and life-giving perspective.
