I recently reconnected with Soniyah Singh, the founder of Finding Bliss! Soniyah passionately believes that with Love all things are possible. She is a Love Researcher, Matchmaker, Relationship Coach and a guide for over 16 years.
Her life's calling is to help people be the Love they want & create the Love they seek. She works with singles and couples of all ages, orientations, and backgrounds.
Through her research she has found that the medicine of Love and Compassion can heal conscious and unconscious barriers to Love, Relationships, Intimacy and Pleasure. Her dream is to create more Ripples of Love through sharing inspiring Love Stories of real people and their journeys of struggle and bliss.
She's recently stepped into a new season growth and upleveling her vision, and I'm so glad to introduce you to this powerhouse woman!

RACHEL: What inspired you to start writing about/exploring this topic?
SONIYAH: I live by my mantra, "Always at the right place, at the right time, doing the right things, with the right people". I was born in New Delhi, India and moved to Queens, New York when I was only in third grade. I grew up in a very traditional Sikh family with matchmaking all around me. My parents and ancestry were all arranged marriages, so to say what I do for a living is my Dharma is an understatement.
I moved across the country to San Francisco, California in my early 20's and pretty quickly it became clear I was gay, so you can only imagine the journey I've been on coming out to a very conservative family.
I was introduced to my teacher, Wayne Dyer, in 2008, which started my awakening in all arenas. Being an Indian woman, I'm big into astrology and every facilitator that has read my chart has said, "You were born to be a teacher of Love!" To that I nod and say, "Yes, I know. I am a Love Coach! I do this for a living!" And this is why it has been a privilege and an honor to have founded and evolved, Finding Bliss. To me, Finding Bliss is a team-made company and we are all a Love story.
RACHEL: What key insights or lessons have you learned through your experiences with this subject?
SONIYAH: That Love is Inevitable. With Love, all things are possible. No matter how profound our trauma and history, if we are willing to cultivate compassion through practice and see from a new lens and perspective, we heal and return to our natural state, which is lovability.
RACHEL: What challenges or misconceptions do you think people face when dealing with this topic, and how can they overcome them?
SONIYAH: In our modern world, there is infinite "advice" from podcasts, books, media, blogs, friends, and family about Love and relationships that is so misleading. It amplifies the fears and challenges that people have gone through and validates their limiting beliefs versus creating growth and recovery. When it comes to matters of the Heart, nothing is black and white or one size fits all. There is no one way for each person to heal because we are all unique in how find our way back to our innate selves.
RACHEL: Are there any common myths or misunderstandings about this topic that you'd like to address?
SONIYAH: One of the biggest myths is that we cannot heal and create Love simultaneously. This is not true. 30% of people that have just initiated a conversation with me end up meeting their person. They haven't even started the work yet. To this I say, "Finding Love is inevitable, however let's do the deeper work so you can actually receive Love in a way that you never have before and for this connection to be sustainable." So yes, it is possible to meet your Beloved having done no work, however, it may not be sustainable.
Another biggie connected to the above myth is constant comparison to other people's journeys and trauma. I hear people say, "How can THEY have a relationship and they haven't done any work yet?" My Love Research shows that no one journey is the same. If we don't know the story of a person or couple and we are making assumptions based on what we are seeing on the surface, we end up keeping ourselves stuck and in the cycle of judgement and comparison.
RACHEL: What resources, tools, or next steps would you recommend for readers who want to dive deeper into this topic?
SONIYAH: Because your journey is individual and depends on the season of healing you're in, the resources, tools, and next steps I would offer would be personal to you. The best next step would be reaching out to Finding Bliss for a Discovery Session if you feel driven to dive deeper.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Overcoming self-sabotage is essential because it allows us to align our actions with our true goals and values, unlocking our full potential. When we recognize and address the fears and limiting beliefs that drive self-sabotaging behaviors, we build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a path to personal growth.
