"Uncertainty is no longer an occasional phase -- it has become a constant. I've seen that resilience doesn't come from predicting outcomes, but from understanding yourself deeply enough to respond to uncertainty with clarity and confidence," shares Bhaavvnna.
"Things are bound to happen, but knowing patterns and cycles in advance, and which part of life will be affected, helps people prepare rather than panic. Through my expertise in the field of occult science, I help individuals recognise their strengths, weaknesses, emotional triggers and life rhythms that often go unnoticed in fast-paced lives, helping them to move forward with awareness and direction," she adds.

Through this inspirational narrative, Yogita reflects on endurance, inner strength, and the courage required to rewrite one's life story.
