When You Give Everything All at Once: The Indian Woman’s Guide to Navigating Toxic Relationships

‘If it was so bad, why didn’t you leave sooner?’
This question haunted Prachi Saxena long after ending her toxic marriage. In this raw and compelling memoir-meets-guidebook, she delves into the roots of her struggles with love and self-worth. Growing up in a home marked by emotional neglect and abuse, Prachi internalised the belief that love had to be earned—no matter the cost.

Trapped in a painful cycle of toxic relationships, she uncovered a startling truth—her heartbreaks weren’t just bad luck but a subconscious replay of familiar patterns from her past. These patterns, rooted in her wounds, kept leading her towards self-sabotage.

Blending her deeply personal story with science-backed insights from two decades as a trauma therapist, Prachi empowers modern Indian women to reclaim their lives. This transformative guide offers a roadmap to understanding the wounds that block healthy love and provides practical tools to heal toxic relationships.

Honest, relatable, and deeply inspiring, this book is a must-read for anyone ready to break free from toxic cycles and create the love they truly deserve.

Meaningful Manifestation: Imagination, Intuition, and Other Spiritual Sh*t

Determine what will bring you true fulfillment, examine your most authentic beliefs, and learn to manifest your dreams by building harmony and understanding with the universe.

Meaningful Manifestation addresses the gaps that other manifestation books gloss over. Using the IMAGINE method, a unique manifestation framework developed by author Alea Lovely, this book gives you a complete roadmap to get from where you are to where you want to be—and to enjoy the ride!

Learn to fall in love with the life you already have, and by achieving this new, positive perspective, become a better vibrational match to what you truly want.

The IMAGINE method will guide you through the following 7 lessons:

• Inception: Where are you starting?
• Manifestation: What do you want?
• Anti-Belief: What is the belief challenging what you want?
• Growth: What change needs to happen to get what you want?
• Integration: How do you apply that change to your life?
• Notice: Observing the signs + syncs to help you produce more of it.
• Expansion: What do you do once you have realized your manifesto

Manifestation is more than just reciting positive affirmations every day. It is building an understanding of your foundation, your purest desires, and reaching out to embrace the life you want with open arms.

Craft Your Own Magic: Reawaken Your Intuition, Understand Magical Correspondences, and Create a Meaningful Personal Practice

A call to create your own magical practice by understanding magical correspondences, incorporating your own lived experiences and ancestry, and applying intuitive insights.

Crafting your own magic is a personal and fluid journey, and you won’t find scripted spells and rituals within these pages. Instead, you’ll find a collection of pathways to a magical practice rooted in your lived experience and the relationships you form in seen and unseen realms. Here, witch, intuitive energy healer, and death-worker Cassie Uhl will share techniques to hone your inherent intuitive abilities, personal experiences, and practices—all of which she encourages you to modify to suit your needs. Your magical practice and the path that shapes it will be as unique as you are, as it should be. Uhl walks you through crafting your own magic using the elements as guideposts: air, on developing intuition; fire, on magic in relationship; water, on correspondences; earth, on ethics and ancestry; and spirit, on bringing it all together.

What crafting your own magic looks like for you will be personal and fluid. Where would you turn to seek inspiration, community, means, and modes to craft your magic? Perhaps you would shift inward to the trees, flowers, birds, or invisible in-between spaces. There will likely be parts of your magical practice that no one but you will be able to define as true. For these reasons, parts of crafting your own magic may feel uncomfortable. From these places of discomfort, not knowing, and becoming, your magical practices can flourish.

Wafadari Imaandari Zimmedari (A must read for anyone navigating life’s challenges, striving to succeed in their work, or seeking to overcome difficulties in their daily lives)

Wafadari Imaandari Zimmedari, translated as ‘loyalty, integrity and responsibility’, is more loaded than this rendition.

Are these attributes in-built in a leader?
Or are they inculcated and polished over the years?
And, who is a genuine leader?

Centred on the concept of ‘Leadership’, be it on the battlefield or in a corporate boardroom, this book opens a window to the qualities that make an ordinary person extraordinary, capable of handling and overcoming adversity in all its forms. With anecdotes extracted from real events in the army, in environments of war and terrorism, this book’s primary focus is on informed and prudent responses to all circumstances. It showcases how individuals caught in grave situations, be it in the army or a professional space in their daily life, can combine the learnings from their intensive training with presence of mind and ingenuity of thought to conquer obstacles, emerging as true leaders in the process.

Inspirational, anecdotal and unputdownable, Wafadari Imaandari Zimmedari is an essential read for anyone navigating life’s challenges, striving to succeed in their work, or seeking to overcome difficulties in their daily lives.
