The Storyteller’s Turn: Unpacking My Journey from Silent Endurance to Collective Power

In conversation with Annu Sharma for Global Power Surge—on breaking generational silences, owning your narrative, and the moment I was asked: “Do you ever share yours?”

Kiran Singh is usually the one holding space, asking the deep questions, and bringing other women’s stories into the light through My Sattva Story and Midlife by Design. But in this special conversation for Global Power Surge, the tables turned.

Annu Sharma sat down with Kiran for a raw, unfiltered interview tracing Kiran’s journey right from the very beginning. From the quiet origins and cultural expectations she had to unlearn, to the pivotal turning points that ultimately shaped her life’s work in midlife coaching, advocacy, and community building, Kiran lays her path bare.

At the end of their conversation, Annu paused and asked a question that captured the heart of the entire episode:

“You spend so much of your life sharing other people’s stories... do you ever share yours?”

This episode is the answer to that question.
