About the Founder
Founder & Visionary, Coach, Speaker
I am Sarita Narayan. I founded The Resilient Journeys with aim to equip individuals and organizations with the tools, mindset, and support they need to excel despite the odds. Drawing on my lived experiences and professional expertise, I offer coaching, mentoring, and inclusive event facilitation that helps people and organizations foster resilience, build inclusive cultures, and create meaningful change.
My Story
I am a first generation migrant. I was born and brought up in Fiji. I have held senior leadership roles in Victorian Government for over 24 years and now run two businesses of my own. But my story has not always been as linear. It is a story of ebs and flows – but a story of determination, self belief and resilience.
My story entails searching within myself to discover my true purpose. It chronicles my exploration of how much to give back. It also includes the determination I harboured to succeed as an individual from a minority group in the corporate sector. My story highlights the risks I took and the quest to find my voice, defying a world that often renders individuals invisible.
Moreover, my story revolves around breaking societal norms without disrespecting anyone. It showcases my journey of finding my place within a family already entrenched in established traditions. It illuminates the paths I forged into the lives of teenage stepchildren.
Furthermore, my story is a testament to my unwavering belief in my inner strength and my ability to construct a supportive network around me. It reflects my resilience in the face of multiple losses and grief. It embodies the notion of picking up the shattered pieces when life crumbles and emerging stronger after each setback.
Through blog posts and podcasts, I aim to share my journey in the hope of helping others find their own purpose, inspire them to persevere and untangle the societal expectations that weigh them down. Using research and drawing upon my personal experiences, I aim to facilitate individuals in adjusting to various life changes. I offer life and career coaching to those in need. I actively participate as a speaker at various forums, empowering individuals, particularly women and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, to uncover their true callings and achieve fulfilment in their lives.
My Approach
I believe in leading by example and fostering growth through storytelling, evidence-based strategies, and practical tools. My coaching and mentoring services focus on building resilience and empowering individuals to overcome challenges unique to migrant and minority communities.
Through inclusive event facilitation, whether as a speaker, panel moderator, or workshop leader, I create spaces where stories are shared, voices are amplified, and real change begins.
Why I Do This
I am driven by a vision of a society where diversity is celebrated, resilience is nurtured, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Whether it’s helping individuals break free from societal expectations or guiding organizations toward greater inclusivity, I am dedicated to empowering others to succeed, no matter their circumstances.
Let’s embark on this journey together.
