It was a thrill to spend time recently with Cimeran Kapur, the Founder, and CEO of Potion, cancer survivor, advocate for healing, and – most of all – seeker of truth. In this episode of What the Fundraising, we’re discussing the effects of coming into alignment with ourselves. It starts with sifting through and looking at who we are to uncover who we’re meant to become.Cimeran was living at breakneck speed, becoming a physician and doing her best to save the world, when she was hit out of left field with a cancer diagnosis. Her world, of course, was turned upside down. Rather than buckle under, Cimeran got busy researching, reflecting, and shedding layers of conditioning that had not served her well. Ultimately she was drawn back to her roots in Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient mind-body-spirit practice from India. Today she is launching Potion, a brand whose mission is to educate and bring integrative health and well-being to everyone.You’ll learn not only about Cimeran’s journey to full remission but also about the toolkit she deployed in getting there. She’s also offering compelling insights into the nature of true self-confidence (and how to cultivate it) as well as how to set boundaries that are integral, authentic, and in community with others. Cimeran’s combination of personal life examples and Ayurvedic wisdom are inspiring and educational both professionally and personally.To increase your fundraising confidence specifically, you might benefit from understanding your fundraising superpower by taking this Quiz. This episode is sponsored by our friends at Bloomerang.

57. From Cancer to Self Healing: Lessons for Nonprofit Leaders Around Personal Wellness with Cimeran Kapur

Cimeran Kapur is the Founder and CEO of Communikind, a new health tech company designed to empower families to be our own best health advocates. She is starting by helping parents build their child's health history from birth so they can securely and selectively share care information with any caregivers when and where needed. On this episode Melissa and Cimeran discuss what motivated Cimeran to build Communikind and how spending a good portion of her childhood abroad impacted how she viewed public health. Among those things, you'll hear Cimeran discuss her education, her work and how her eventual diagnosis of life-threatening cancer during her MED school training catapulted her to build Communikind - after only coming up with the concept a month before.www.communikind.com@communikind@cimerankapur--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/femmeradi0/support

EP 31: Cimeran Kapur, Founder & CEO of Communikind

Cimeran was a surgeon in the making— until the biggest, most monumental moment happened when she was studying at UC Davis: she self-diagnosed her cancer. But that’s not where her story ends. She let this cancer fuel and completely motivate her to change her life. She has found so much grace and gratitude for her new life with a new perspective. She has created a health app, Communikind, where she shines with passion and compassion for others.   “I chose to reclaim my story, and reclaim this diagnosis. I believe this to my core: cancer is the best thing that ever happened to me. I was living life all wrong… it was a wake-up call at 28.” - Cimeran Kapur  “Getting cancer taught me that I am worthy of love, especially from myself.” - Cimeran Kapur  What Was Mentioned:  Communikind   Connect With Us: @saleena.justine @cimerankapur CollectivelyReal.com
