Namaste & G’day — I’m Richa.
The Unmuting Guide & Mentor for women of colour and changemakers ready to lead from truth, not fear.
I grew up across three countries, learning to be grateful, quiet, and “good.”
But gratitude without boundaries becomes guilt — and silence becomes a cage.
Through unlearning, study, and lived experience, I found my purpose in helping other women unmute — not by rejecting their roots but by rewriting how those roots hold them.
Beyond the Coaching Room
My work doesn’t end with coaching conversations — it extends into storytelling, dialogue, and thought leadership that challenge how we see identity, belonging, and purpose.
I’ve been featured on several podcasts and platforms that explore these intersections of culture, voice, and leadership.
Featured In & Heard On

Intersections & Inclusion - The Conversation we need to Have
Evidence shows that the more intersections that form part of a person’s identity, the more likely they are to be marginalised and excluded. However, most Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) strategies focus on only a handful of possible identities and address them in silos.
In this episode, the wonderful Richa Joshi and I discuss the importance of taking an intersectional approach to DEI, with a focus on race, colour, and body size!

My Values
Each value is a compass for how I coach, create, and connect.
Sovereignty
Honour your story, lead from your truth.
In coaching, this means I help you trust your inner authority — so decisions come from alignment, not approval.
Courage
Speak, pivot, disrupt — even when it’s uncomfortable.
Together, we create space for brave conversations that move you from fear to freedom.
Integrity
Energy and action in alignment, always.
I’ll call you into your wholeness — ensuring your choices, words, and boundaries reflect your values.
Liberation
Deconditioning from systems that silence.
Our work unravels inherited patterns so you can lead from your authentic identity — not expectation.
Creativity
Making space to evolve, experiment, and change your mind.
I coach through curiosity and play — turning self-discovery into something alive, not linear.
How I work
Every woman brings a constellation of stories — cultural, emotional, generational.
My role is not to fix but to guide you back to yourself.
My method of work: Reflective storytelling · Somatic grounding · Purpose-led action · Trauma-informed cultural lens.
Richa Joshi — The Unmuting Guide & Mentor
Helping women of colour reclaim voice, purpose & presence through identity, courage and truth.
In the spirit of unity and respect, I acknowledge and pay my heartfelt respect to the traditional custodians of Whadjak country, the Noongar people.
I stand on this ancient land with deep appreciation for their enduring connection to country, culture, and community.
As we gather and work together, may we honor the wisdom of the Noongar elders, past, present, and emerging, and strive to nurture a harmonious relationship with the land, its stories, and its people.
