Rudrani Devi is a positivity expert, speaker, and author of Choosing Happiness. In 2008, Rudrani was in Mumbai, India on a meditation retreat when she was shot at point-blank range. She was part of a massacre that lasted 4 days, left 150 people dead, and resulted in Rudrani witnessing devastating scenes of terror. As a result, Rudrani began a journey of healing – both physically and emotionally. Her path led her to eventually run the Boston Marathon, with the help of her trainer and sponsorship from Adidas, and to embark on a mission to bring love and light into a dark world.
