Coaching for sensitive millennial leaders
Hey there! I’m Rani Gupta, MSW.
Not all friendships are meant to last—but you are meant to thrive. Let’s turn your emotional pain into personal growth.
Friend breakup recovery doesn't have to be a solo journey
Friend breakups bring up intense emotions: grief, confusion, frustration, anger. They can be just as devastating as romantic breakups—sometimes more so, because there's no roadmap for healing from friendship loss.
But here's what I know after over a decade as a social worker: you don't have to navigate this heartbreak alone. As a friendship coach, I help high-achieving professionals like you heal and move forward from the silent devastation of losing people you considered your ride-or-die friends.
It's time to stop accepting crumbs in your friendships.
It's time to stop accepting crumbs in your friendships.
Have you ever thought:
“I’m tired of telling my friends about the bullshit I deal with at work and hearing things like, ‘Why are you complaining? You’re making six figures a year!’ I just feel really shut down.”
“I can’t believe my friends were willing to end our friendship over something so superficial. I really thought these were my ride-or-die people.”
If you’re like any of my clients:
You can hold space for others, but it’s never reciprocated
You’re trying to put yourself out there - going to that new gym, attending a book club meeting, striking up a conversation at the coffee shop - but you still haven’t been able to find your people
You know that friendships change as you get older, and you know you have lots to offer as a friend…yet, you’re wondering how you ended up feeling so alone
I hear you.
Making new friends as an adult is hard. And knowing that it’s normal for your friendships to change doesn’t make the loneliness any easier to deal with.

Friend breakups bring up intense emotions: grief, confusion, frustration, anger. They can be just as devastating as romantic breakups - sometimes more so, because there's no roadmap for healing from friendship loss.
But here's what I know after nearly a decade as a social worker: you don't have to navigate this heartbreak alone. As a friendship coach, I help high-achieving professionals like you heal and move forward from the silent devastation of losing people you considered your ride-or-die friends.
Here’s the thing:
Why friendship loneliness hits different when you're successful
We aren't meant to go through life in isolation—and we certainly aren't meant to heal in isolation. But when you're questioning your judgment about people and second-guessing your social skills, it's draining energy you need for everything else. Your confidence takes a hit, and that ripples into every area of your life.
Why I get it (and why that matters for your healing)
I've spent nearly a decade as a therapist helping sensitive millennials create the authentic, fulfilling relationships they actually want. Plus, I've been exactly where you are—wondering if I was "too much" or expecting too much from friends.
When we work together, you're getting someone who understands what it's like to be heart-centered in a world that doesn't always value sensitivity, and who has the clinical background to help you heal for real.
Here’s what my peers are saying about me:
Over the course of our professional relationship, Rani has been a steadfast source of encouragement. She's highly skilled in identifying exactly the missing piece to my issue so that I can move forward with confidence in my next steps. She has been an integral part of shaping my career and bringing in the most aligned people to work with.
As a person, Rani is tender, kind, and empathic. Her unique background as a musician, her personal story, and ethnic background has allowed me to feel understood by her as an Asian American that is rare to find in other coaches. Her passion for providing the greatest opening for the client in her sessions is something I aspire to embody with my work. I highly recommend Rani's services to help guide you towards your greatest breakthroughs!

When meeting Rani in a class for therapists, a little over a year and a half ago, I was immediately struck by how genuine, kind and intelligent she is.
She has a lovely, approachable demeanor and is able to hold space for another's dignity. She also possesses great insight and compassion and asks just the right questions. I have had the pleasure to continue to get to know her since the class and can confidently recommend her as a therapist and coach.
