From Two Failed Marriages and Depression to Purpose: Pune Businessman Reinvents Himself as Life Coach Helping Others

Often, people give up in the face of life’s smaller setbacks. But the story of Sshaaiq Pathan from Pune serves as an inspiration for anyone battling difficult times. After going through two divorces and years of deep depression, the businessman not only rebuilt his life but has today emerged as a successful “Clarity and Mindset Coach,” helping hundreds of people improve their lives.

There was a time when his life was going through an extremely challenging phase. Despite professional success, his personal life had fallen apart. Two failed marriages left him mentally shattered to the extent that he isolated himself in a room for nearly two years.

Recalling that period, Sshaaiq says, “The pressure from relatives and society was so intense that I couldn’t even speak to my parents or sister. I kept asking myself why life was so unfair to me.”

In search of peace and answers, he travelled to Haridwar and explored various spiritual and self-development practices, including yoga, meditation, astrology, numerology and Vastu. Eventually, however, he realised that the real solution was not outside but within himself. Through deep self-reflection and guidance from mentors and gurus, he gradually overcame his mental barriers.

Today, as a life coach, Sshaaiq works with people who feel stuck in life. His clients include doctors, working professionals and even individuals struggling with severe emotional stress or suicidal thoughts.

According to him, his own life experiences and exposure to the business world have helped him understand people’s pain more deeply and guide them in the right direction. Some doctors who had earlier quit their practice due to depression, he says, are now leading successful lives again after receiving his guidance.

Sshaaiq’s journey — supported by Alok Tong in becoming a life coach — and his Instagram platform “Reborn with Sshaaiq” stand as a reminder that even after the darkest phases of life, it is possible to find light again if one has the courage to work on oneself.
