Your Power Decade

A Guinness World Record Breaker – Purusha started the Ocean Sheroes rowing team who went on to break the world record for the fastest all-female team of four to row across the Pacific Ocean – she definitely proves that anyone can achieve extraordinary feats if they have the right tools with which to build a positive and resilient mindset. Having turned herself around from depression and poor physical health, Purusha and her team were at sea for 35 days, rowing two hour shifts 24/7, from San Francisco to Hawaii, raising a huge £225,000. 

Purusha transformed her health, wellbeing and self-belief after turning 40, inspiring her mantra that it’s never too late (or early!) to make a positive change; to confront your fears and develop a “I can and I will” approach to life.

Today, Purusha is a sought-after public speaker where she shares her amazing story as well as her positive psychology expertise with businesses and schools across the UK. She is also co-founder of  Wild + Brave Foundation, a social impact charity that brings together people from all backgrounds, using the great outdoors to encourage community spirit and develop a positive growth mindset.

In 2024, Purusha and her Ocean Sheroes rowing team are planning on hitting the waves again with an even more demanding challenge – to become the fastest all-women team in history to cross the Indian Ocean and, of course, break another world record; but also raising awareness for her Wild + Brave Foundation. Unstoppable; passionate; inspirational; Purusha’s enthusiasm and motivation is driven by her desire to help others thrive.
