Hello and welcome to Sage and Sirius! I’m Pooja, and I run this blog with my husband, Gaurav.
Between juggling our full-time 9-to-5 jobs, we started this blog as a little corner of the internet where we can share what we’ve learned about living a healthier and happier life through mindfulness and mindful living.
It all started during a tough time in our lives. Soon after COVID-19 hit, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a condition that causes constant pain and sensitivity all over the body.
It’s a condition that turned our world upside down and taught us firsthand how hard it can be to live with a chronic illness while trying to lead a “normal” life.
Like so many others, we have and still are facing our share of mental health struggles. The experience pushed us to learn, adapt, and discover small tools that helped us cope, heal, and find happiness.
We realized that there’s so much pressure today to keep up with the world. Whether it’s chasing success, fitting into social media ideals, or constantly trying to “be more” and “do more.”
New jobs, new technologies, and new demands are coming in every day, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
But in the middle of all this chaos, we need balance.
To stay sane and find happiness in this “Instagram-worthy” and fast-paced world, we believe in a simple toolkit that includes mindfulness, journaling, gratitude, and self-care.
We don’t claim to have all the answers and our blogs aren’t about telling you what to do. They’re about sharing ideas, stories, and tools that might help you find what works for you.
We do our homework, too.
Everything we share comes from books, podcasts, expert advice, real-life experiences, blogs, and lessons we’ve learned the hard way.
But at the end of the day, we always encourage you to explore and do what feels right for your own journey.
We’re so glad you’re here. We hope Sage and Sirius feels like a warm and safe space where you can slow down, find inspiration, and remember to take care of you.
Welcome to our journey, and yours.
The word “Sage” symbolizes wisdom, clarity, and knowledge. At Sage and Sirius, we believe that wisdom and clarity are the keys to making good decisions in life.
We learn from our own experiences and from the experiences of those around us. We’re all about using what we know to create a fulfilling life.
The name “Sirius” is derived from the brightest star in the sky, which symbolizes ambition and resilience. We believe that setting high goals and striving towards them with grit and determination is the key to success.
We encourage you to embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow and to never give up on your dreams.
