Some people go through life collecting stories. Meenakshi Mehta lived one that changed her forever. A storyteller, educator, wellness advocate, and marketing professional, she has worn many hats. But nothing tested her strength like her battle with cancer. Instead of letting it define her, she turned her pain into purpose, writing C for Courage, a book that speaks to anyone facing tough times.
From Wearing Many Hats to Fighting One Big Battle
Meenakshi’s career has been anything but ordinary. She has trained corporate teams through theater, planned events, built marketing campaigns, and even managed a celebrity during the pandemic. But the biggest role she played was that of a fighter—one who refused to give up when life threw its hardest challenge at her.
Armed with degrees in English, Psychology, and Marketing, she has always loved learning. But no classroom lesson could prepare her for cancer. It was a battle that pushed her to her limits, but also made her realize something important—courage isn’t about being fearless, it’s about moving forward despite fear.
C for Courage: A Story That Needed to Be Told
After surviving cancer, Meenakshi knew she had to share her journey—not just for herself, but for others who needed hope. C for Courage is not just a cancer survivor’s story. It’s a book about life, resilience, and finding strength in the hardest moments.
The book has been recognized as one of the Books of the Year (Biography) by Literary Insider and Meenakshi was named among the Top 50 Influential Authors of 2024 by Delhi Wire. But more than the awards, what matters to her is the impact it has had on readers.
“This book is for anyone going through a difficult time. It’s about choosing to live fully, no matter what life throws at you,” she says.
Beyond Books: Building Strength, One Conversation at a Time
Beyond writing, Meenakshi runs Curl Up Book Club, bringing book lovers together. She is also a Coffee Coach, helping people untangle their thoughts and find clarity. Whether through books, coaching, or conversations, her goal is simple—to help people see that they are stronger than they think.
What’s Next?
Meenakshi’s next book takes a lighter approach. Inspired by her daily thoughts and observations, it will be a mix of life lessons and humor. If C for Courage was about strength, this one will be about seeing life with a smile.
Join the Journey, Find Your Own Courage
Meenakshi Mehta’s story is a reminder that life is unpredictable, but we always have the choice to keep going. Whether through her writing or her coaching, she continues to inspire others to find their own courage.
