Meet Dr. Kalpana Sundar
I built the version of success I was told to want.
And then I realized it was costing me my vitality, my freedom and my sense of self.
Life by Design: Vitality • Wealth • Impact™ was born from that reckoning — for high-achieving leaders who no longer want success that requires self-abandonment.
Redefining Success, Reinventing Possibilities
I built the dream. And then I walked away.
I did all the things: surgeon, seven-figure practice, full calendar, shiny accolades. But somewhere between the white coat and the revenue reports, I realized:
I was living a version of success that didn’t fit the life I wanted to live.
I know what it’s like to lose your vitality in the name of hustle, to build wealth with no peace, and to look “successful” while feeling disconnected on the inside.
Now, I help high-achieving leaders build lives from alignment so your vitality supports your ambition, your wealth supports your freedom, and your impact actually means something.
Life by Design: Vitality • Wealth • Impact™ is where that becomes real.
Success isn’t the goal. Alignment is. That’s Life by Design.
You already know the life you’re meant to live. Let’s design it—through Vitality, Wealth & Impact.

Financial Strategist & Licensed Professional
I’ve always been fascinated by systems that protect and amplify wealth. That curiosity led me from surgeon to strategist which ultimately earning my license as a financial professional. Today, I help high-achieving visionaries create sustainable financial ecosystems that unlock freedom, security, and legacy wealth.
Mulit-Brand CEO
I didn’t just build a business, I built an ecosystem. From running a seven-figure MedSpa and ENT practice to launching omni-media platforms, live events, and consulting brands, I’ve learned what works. Now, I help leaders scale aligned revenue streams without burnout, using strategy that’s deeply personal and wildly scalable.
Resilient.Reborn.Unbound
Thyroid cancer. Divorce. Reinvention. I’ve walked through fire, grief, and silence. I emerged with clarity and conviction. These weren’t just life events; they were initiations. Each chapter stripped away the noise until only truth remained. I learned to trust my body, honor my intuition, and reclaim my voice as a woman and as a leader.
Who I Work with (and Why it Matters)
I work with high-achieving visionaries who are ready to grow financially and with fulfillment, vitality, and impact. If you’re only chasing money, we are probably not a fit. If you’re here to create a legacy that feels good in your body and your bank account, we’ll get along just fine. I work with people who:

The Thought Leader Who Speaks Truth, Disrupts Systems, and Redefines Success.
I spent years chasing someone else’s version of success—become a surgeon, built the practice, and checked all the boxes. But the deeper truth? Real success doesn’t live in someone else’s script. It lives in owning your story, claiming your power, and building a life that actually feels like yours.
I speak about what most people avoid — the gap between achievement and fulfillment, the power of clarity in leadership, and how to design success that’s sustainable, not performative. I don’t deliver polished keynotes; I deliver wake-up calls that shift the room and stay with people long after the slides are gone. Whether I’m speaking to entrepreneurs, executives, or creatives, my message is simple: clarity is the new confidence, and alignment is the new ambition.
If you’re ready for a speaker who brings fire, depth, and truth that lands — let’s talk.
Make Your Event Unforgettable
I don’t just show up and speak—I bring raw stories, bold energy, and insights you can actually use. Whether it’s a women’s empowerment event, a corporate stage, or a high-level leadership summit, I’m there to connect deeply, challenge norms, and leave the room changed.
If you want a speaker who inspires and delivers real, no-fluff takeaways—let’s talk.
Let’s build something that actually moves people. Let’s make it unforgettable.
We all have the power to shape our lives into something that actually feels good—on our terms.
Think of me as your go-to mentor—the one who cuts through the noise and tells it to you straight. My mentorship isn’t about theory. It’s built on lived experience—the wins, the setbacks, and the hard lessons I had to learn the long (and expensive) way.
I’m here to give you real guidance, no sugarcoating. Just honest strategy and support to help you unlock the version of you that’s been waiting to lead.
Thanks to my surgical background, I don’t waste time. I get in, diagnose the problem, and build a plan that works. I’ve lost thousands to bad hires, cash flow chaos, and inventory mistakes. I’ve been in the fire—so you don’t have to be.
Learn from what I got wrong.
Scale from what I got right.
Let’s build smarter—together.
The Conversations That Actually Matter
No Masks. No Competition. Just Real Talk That Moves Us Forward.
For too long, we’ve been told to shrink, stay in line, and follow rules we never agreed to.
But what if success isn’t about playing the game better—but about changing it altogether?

Did you know?
Most high performers are operating at less than 70% of their true capacity — not because they lack drive, but because their energy, clarity, and systems aren’t aligned.
The numbers don’t lie: burnout costs U.S. companies over $300 billion a year in lost productivity, turnover, and disengagement. But the deeper cost is human — leaders who’ve achieved everything on paper, yet feel disconnected, exhausted, or uninspired.
Here’s the truth: burnout isn’t just about working too hard. It’s about working in ways that disconnect you from what you love. You don’t burn out when you’re fully aligned with your purpose- you expand.
The real question isn’t how we prevent burnout. It’s how we design success that fuels both profit and purpose- where vitality, wealth and legacy coexist.
It’s time to evolve with the shift — not react to it. Let’s design your next level with intention.
