The Self-Mastery Manifesto™
Komal Kapoor is a Harvard-trained executive coach, bestselling author, and life strategist who helps high-achievers build purpose-driven careers and aligned lives—without burning out or playing small.
Before launching her coaching practice, Komal led multi-million-dollar projects, managed high-performing teams, and negotiated 25–40% salary increases as a corporate consultant. Since then, her coaching has transformed the lives of over 300 professionals—guiding them through career transitions, leadership development, personal reinvention, and salary negotiations, all while centering energy, wellness, and inner clarity.
In 2019, she expanded her reach as a TEDx speaker, bestselling poet, and workshop facilitator—negotiating a six-figure book deal as a first-time author and building a global readership of over 200,000.
She holds a B.A. in Global Studies from UCLA, completed neuroscience and psychology research at UCLA, and is a graduate of the Harvard Medical School Lifestyle & Wellness Coaching Program.
With a rare blend of corporate, creative, and spiritual expertise, Komal helps her clients achieve real success—the kind that feels just as good as it looks.
When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her writing, reading, cooking nourishing meals, deepening her spiritual practice, and exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom and neuroscience.
"They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price." – Kahlil Gibran
By 22, I had it all on paper: a six-figure salary, a condo, leadership roles, and the coveted consulting job. I checked every box—the American dream and my immigrant parents’ dream, too.
But inside, I was slowly unraveling. Every milestone left me emptier. Gratitude masked exhaustion. Guilt silenced my longing for something more. I told myself I should be happy—until my body forced me to stop.
An 80-hour workweek ended in urgent care. Days later, while recovering, I asked to work locally instead of flying across the country. My manager’s response? “I’ll have to check with HR.”
That moment broke the illusion. I realized I had spent years proving my worth to systems that never saw me. I quit—with no plan, just a clear knowing: I couldn’t keep abandoning myself.
Quitting wasn’t the instant solution I hoped for. I returned to corporate just long enough to pay off debt—then left again at 25, terrified and free.
I turned to writing, entrepreneurship, and creative work. I published a bestselling poetry book. I built a community. But burnout kept following me. No matter what I achieved, it never felt like enough.
I swung between overwork and isolation. I pushed, then crashed. I knew I was meant for more—but I didn’t know what more looked like.
Until I finally realized: burnout isn’t failure—it’s misalignment.
Real success isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about working with your energy, not against it.
That realization changed everything. I stopped chasing validation. I started building a life in rhythm with who I really am.
I spent years searching for the thing that could save me from burnout without sacrificing my ambition. I never found it. So I created it.
The Self-Mastery Manifesto™ is the exact framework I wish I had years ago—designed to help heart-led professionals like you:
You don’t need more productivity hacks. You need alignment.
You don’t need to give up your ambition—you need to redirect it toward what truly matters.
Start building the life your future self will thank you for.
