Decoding Emotional DNA: The Inner Story of Sneha Daftardar (Part 2)
By Team SAMAKSH
A story of rediscovering the inner compass through Emotional DNA and narrative realignment. This is the second and concluding part of Sneha’s story.
Stepping Away From the CEO Mode
Upon landing in Mumbai, Sneha made herself a promise—and Dr. Lancy a commitment: for the next two weeks, she would switch off her CEO mode, detox, and reconnect with herself.
Lancy, always quick and practical, asked her to coordinate with his secretary to book his schedule. Sneha followed through immediately.
Then, she did something her team had never seen before. She sent out a short mail:
“I am going to be away for the next 30 days – physically, emotionally and mentally. I trust you all to make the right decisions and hold the fort while I am gone. Don’t call me – I won’t be reachable. I will see you after a month!”
No elaborate instructions. No micromanagement. Just trust.
Her second line leadership team, though initially surprised, felt a strange relief reading those two words: “trust you.” They stepped up to take charge.
Meanwhile, Sneha took charge of something she had long ignored—her inner self.
A Retreat Into Silence
She booked herself on a flight to Greece, signing up for eight days at SamAyush Wellness & Retreats, a sanctuary designed for complete relaxation and rejuvenation.
Those days changed her.
She returned not as the ruthless leader who demanded 100% all the time, but with a quieter, calmer energy. For the first time in years, Sneha experienced deep clarity about herself.
But with that clarity came a new fear—would the old self return once she went back to work? To seek answers, she booked a meeting with Dr. Lancy.
A Vibrant Return
When she walked into his office, Lancy’s reaction said it all.
“My god, Sneha! What have you done to yourself? You look vibrant and completely recharged. I bet those 10 days have done wonders to you!” he exclaimed.
Sneha smiled, almost shy.
“Dr. Lancy, those were the most wonderful days of my life. If only I could stay there forever. I slept, ate healthy food, spent hours at the spa and sauna, and meditated in their water pool, forest, and music room.
The music room was the most powerful—it forced me to find myself amid noise. That’s when I realized: it wasn’t external noise that disturbed me. It was the inner noise—the clutter, the fearful thoughts, the anger and deep-rooted pain. I had been running away from it all my life.
I also realized something else. My relationship with myself mirrored my relationship with my mother and sister. I always craved their love, but never received it. Instead, I stored their hurts and criticism deep in my heart.
That pain made me dry, angry, and arrogant. Perhaps I was even seeing my mother and sister in the people around me—pushing them until they failed, and then firing them. Maybe it was my way of getting back at the people who hurt me.”
She paused, her eyes softer than Lancy had ever seen.
“I feel calmer now, with a deep clarity. But I’m afraid of losing this. I need your help in maintaining it.”
Emotional DNA Revealed
Lancy offered her water and listened intently. Then, he spoke with the gentle authority of a mentor.
“Sneha, you’ve done something remarkable—looking within and accepting what you’ve found. That’s rare.
You’re right. The anger you carried toward your mother and sister was transposed onto innocent people. Over time, that anger turned inward, into self-dislike. That’s why awards felt meaningless, why achievements left you numb.
You’ve been on a spree to prove your worth to them. But here’s the truth—you don’t need to. Their toxicity doesn’t mean you must become toxic too. Let them go emotionally.
And remember: unaddressed emotions never disappear. They lodge in the body. That’s why your anger showed up as acne. Your blood pressure spiked because of unspoken turmoil. Your back pain was your body’s cry for support you couldn’t find in family.
Emotions are energy in motion. When that energy gets stuck, it turns toxic, corroding us from the inside. But now—you have a chance to realign.”
Ātman: Aligning Your Inner Energy
Then came the prescription.
“Here’s what I propose,” Lancy continued. “We’ll put you on a four-month program—Ātman: Aligning Your Inner Energy.
It’s an emotional cleansing and healing journey to help you release toxicity, reconnect with your core, and join the dots you’ve begun to uncover.
And along with that, I want you to practice five steps every single day:
- Reflect and release. Face your pain and unaddressed emotions—and let them go.
- Self-appreciation. Make a list of your achievements and celebrate them.
- Forgive to be free. Forgive yourself, your mother, and your sister. Release their hold over you.
- Let go of perfection. Perfection is the enemy of self-love. Allow yourself to fail, experiment, and grow.
- Show up for yourself. Your visibility isn’t just about media interviews. It’s about believing in your existence and the difference you make.
Does this sound doable? And yes, I take 100% fees upfront – 50,000 INR. You’ll also become part of our community for life. Welcome to SAMAKSH Holistic Wellness.”
A New Beginning
Sneha’s eyes lit up.
“This sounds fascinating, Dr. Lancy. I’ll transfer the fees right away. I promise to live those five steps until they become second nature. When do we begin?
Also—would you consider joining our business as a Strategic Advisor?”
Lancy chuckled.
“Let’s begin your journey of inner growth and purpose-driven leadership first. As for me joining your company—we’ll keep that conversation for later.”
Sneha nodded. For the first time, she was looking forward not to building quarterly results, but to building herself—and her bonds with her team.
