Today we’d like to introduce you to Radha Dalal.
Hi Radha, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My story really began with a deep desire to help people feel less alone in the moments where life feels heavy, confusing, or like they have lost touch with themselves. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in pediatric healthcare as a Child Life Specialist, supporting children and families through medical stress, fear, grief, and uncertainty. That work shaped so much of who I am. It taught me the power of presence, storytelling, emotional safety, and helping people find their voice during some of the hardest chapters of their lives.
Over time, I felt called to expand that work into therapy, coaching, mindfulness, and community healing. I went back to school for Marriage and Family Therapy and began building what is now Pink Rose Wellness and my therapy practice through radhadalal.com. Pink Rose Wellness was born from my own belief that we are allowed to soften and still be powerful. So much of my work centers around helping people-pleasing, overfunctioning, high-achieving women reconnect with their own needs, boundaries, intuition, and self-trust. Today, I get to blend narrative therapy, mindfulness, nervous system work, and culturally sensitive care to support people as they rewrite the stories they have been carrying and remember that they are the authors of their own lives.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has definitely not been a perfectly smooth road. There have been so many beautiful moments of alignment, but also a lot of waves in my own healing journey. I have had to work through my own people pleasing, self-doubt, overthinking, and the part of me that worries about how I am being perceived by the outside world.
Honestly, I am moving through one of those waves right now. And that is part of why this work feels so meaningful to me. I do not teach from a place of having it all figured out. I teach, support, and hold space from a place of deep humanity. I know what it feels like to want to be chosen, to want to do everything “right,” to question yourself, and to still keep coming back to your own truth.
The struggle has been learning how to trust myself in seasons where things feel uncertain. It has been learned that visibility can feel tender, growth can feel uncomfortable, and building something meaningful often asks you to meet the parts of yourself that still want safety, approval, and certainty. But every wave has also brought me closer to my voice, my purpose, and the kind of work I feel called to do.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Pink Rose Wellness?
Pink Rose Wellness is rooted in helping people come home to themselves. As an LMFT Associate, I support people pleasers, overthinkers, high achievers, and folks who have spent a long time being “the responsible one.” I help clients rewrite the stories they have been carrying and remind them that they are allowed to be the main character of their own life.
I also support folks with ADHD and executive functioning challenges around procrastination, time management, routines, emotional regulation, and self-trust. Another important part of my work is helping people from collective and culturally rooted communities honor where they come from while also reclaiming their voice, boundaries, and inner knowing.
Through Pink Rose Wellness, I create community-based offerings like the Pop Up Glow Meditation Series. These spaces blend mindfulness, storytelling, nervous system care, and reflection in a way that feels soft, empowering, and real. Brand-wise, I am most proud that Pink Rose feels like me: warm, creative, culturally sensitive, and rooted in the belief that healing can be beautiful, accessible, and deeply human.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
My biggest advice is to just start showing up. Go to the events, join the Facebook groups, say yes to the coffee chats, introduce yourself, and let people know what you are building. I think sometimes we wait until everything feels perfectly polished, but people connect with your heart, your energy, and your passion. Some of the most meaningful connections I have made came from simply being warm, curious, and open.
What has worked well for me is sharing what I care about out loud. People only know what they know, so if you never say what you do, what you are creating, or who you feel called to support, they may not know how to think of you or refer to you. When you show up as yourself and speak honestly about your work, you magnetize opportunities that even you may not have imagined for yourself. Networking does not have to feel transactional. At its best, it is relationship building, community care, and allowing the right people to find you.
