Two Years of Freedom, Growth and Purpose: My Journey After Leaving the Corporate World

Mahesha Rice

Two years ago, I made a decision that changed everything.

I left the corporate world behind, not because I had it all figured out, but because I knew, deep within my soul, that there was more. More alignment. More meaning. More purpose.

And I was right.

Since then, I’ve been on the most incredible journey of learning, healing, expanding, and building. I threw myself into studying the healing arts, deepening my skills in EFT Tapping, Reiki, meditation, energy techniques, coaching, and so much more. Every step brought me closer to the version of myself I always dreamed of being – FREE, empowered, and deeply in service.

Today, I run my own healing business and support people from all over the world in achieving their goals, finding their confidence, and healing emotional wounds they thought they’d carry forever. Whether it’s helping someone break through anxiety, guiding them back to self-worth, or witnessing them finally feel seen, I get to walk alongside some of the bravest souls on Earth.

And I don’t take that honour lightly.

Creating a Global Sanctuary Online

One of the most magical parts of this journey has been building my online presence, especially through my YouTube channel: @MaheshaRice.

This channel is more than just videos, it’s a sanctuary.
A safe, supportive space for adoptees, foster care survivors, and anyone navigating deep emotional wounds.

On the channel, I share a powerful blend of:

EFT Tapping sessions
Reiki healing experiences
Guided meditations
Positive affirmation videos
Daily healing and uplifting posts

It has become a global space for transformation, and I feel so incredibly blessed to support thousands of people on their healing journeys.
Healing has no borders, and I’ve seen how one safe space can ripple into deep change across oceans and continents.

Lessons in Authenticity & Self-Worth

This journey hasn’t just been about helping others, it’s been about coming home to myself.

One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learnt is this:
The only opinion that truly matters is the one I hold about myself.

I’ve learnt to honour my truth, speak with authenticity, and choose alignment over approval.

And that also meant learning to lovingly release people, patterns, and energies that no longer uplifted me.
Not out of resentment, but with deep respect and gratitude for what they once were.

Because my peace matters.
My vibration matters.
And I now choose to surround myself only with what nourishes my soul.

The People Who Walk With Me

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the incredible people who’ve walked this journey beside me.

To my husband and children, thank you for your endless patience, your love, your belief in me. You’ve held me during late nights, lifted me when I doubted myself, and cheered me on through every small and big win. I am so deeply grateful.

To the beautiful souls I’ve met across the world, clients, teachers, mentors, and fellow healers, you’ve inspired me, challenged me, and helped me grow in ways I never imagined.

And to the version of me who dared to dream bigger, thank you for choosing courage over comfort.

Here’s to What’s Next

Two years in, and I can say this with all my heart:

I feel powerful. I feel proud. I feel at peace.
And most importantly, I feel ready.

Ready to keep rising.
Ready to keep healing.
Ready to help others believe that they can too.

Because when we heal ourselves, we create space for others to rise with us.

So here’s to the journey, the messy, magical, transformational one.
And here’s to you, beautiful soul, for being here with me.

Let’s keep walking together.
With love and power,
Mahesha
