I explore the question: Why do some people live with clarity and alignment, while others drown in noise, overwhelm, and emotional fragmentation?
My work blends research, lived experience, and global leadership practice to help people cultivate emotional clarity, grounded decision-making, and inner steadiness in a hyperconnected, overstimulated age.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of gender, leadership, emotional wellbeing, and systems change, reaching 100,000+ people across 9 countries.
I hold a Master’s from Harvard, where I received the Jane Mansbridge Award for my work on advancing gender equity. I’m an OpEd writer, research consultant, and the Founder of Parity Lab — a global initiative supporting emotional resilience and community-rooted leadership.
Across my nonprofit and consulting work, one theme has guided me: emotional clarity is the root of meaningful change. In people, in communities, and in systems.
Whether you’re an organization, a government department, or a parent, I provide actionable insights and practical strategies to enhance team morale, shape equitable policies, and support holistic well-being. I’m known for my deep reflection, authenticity, and thoughtful approach—you’ll experience a genuine depth that translates into real-world impact.

Shannon Scott Principal Consultant, J8 ConsultingI had the pleasure of working with Mathangi on a Diversity & Inclusion project. She is a consummate professional of the highest caliber, and she works relentlessly to pursue and refine her craft. She analysed our Company's data and has given us a wonderful perspective as well as solutions to improve our Diversity. She is whip smart, creative, and knows precisely how to approach different problems with unique solutions. Her analytical skills are excellent. Truly lovely person to work with, who goes that extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction and relationships.
