The Woman Behind the Journey
I am not going to give you a list of credentials and call it an introduction.
You deserve more than that.
And honestly — so do I.
Who I am now.
My name is Camitra Rampersad.
I am a mindset author, identity recalibration mentor, and the woman who spent decades turning inward before she understood that turning inward was the work.
I write books from the middle of my own life — not from a safe distance, not from the other side of healed. From inside the becoming. Because that is the only place honest writing comes from.
I mentor women who are done inheriting their identity and ready to choose it.
I live in Calgary, Alberta — by choice, by calling, and with full openness to wherever life leads next.
Where I came from.
I grew up in Trinidad and Tobago — a place of deep beauty, deep culture, and very clear expectations about who you were supposed to become.
At fifteen, I was disowned for refusing to pursue medicine. At eighteen, I left and began to rent.
12 years later I told myself, I needed to get away from Trinidad for life to get better. I was running toward something better. A first world country. A fresh start. A different life.
In 2018, I said goodbye to my fiancee and embarked on finally meeting the perfect life.
What I didn't understand yet — what took me years to finally see — is that I had carried the problem with me.
The problem was me.
Not in the way that punishes. In the way that liberates. Because the moment I understood that the external life was never going to fix the internal misalignment — everything changed. Not immediately. Not cleanly. But permanently.
That was the beginning of the real journey.
The long way home.
I built the life. And kept feeling the pull inward.
I earned a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Civil Engineering. I built a decade-long career — from Project Engineer to Project Manager. I built a digital marketing business that ran for eight years.
On paper, it looked like progress. And it was.
But every few years, without fail, something would shift. A restlessness. A quiet misalignment. The familiar sense that what I had built no longer fit who I was becoming.
And every time — I turned inward.
For years I thought that was a flaw. A pattern of instability. Proof that I couldn't settle.
Now I understand it differently.
Every time I turned inward, I wasn't falling apart. I was recalibrating.
My compass was working perfectly. I just didn't have the language for it yet.
What shaped the woman I became.
It wasn't one thing. It was all of it.
There are three chapters of my life that made me who I am — beyond the career, beyond the degrees, beyond the businesses built and rebuilt.
Marriage taught me how to receive.
I had spent so long in armour — achieving, building, doing — that receiving love, ease, and genuine support felt foreign. Learning to let that in without bracing against it was its own kind of recalibration. One that softened me without weakening me.
The miscarriages broke me open.
Between 2024 and 2025, I experienced three pregnancy losses. And somewhere inside that grief — the kind that has no clean edges and no tidy resolution — I discovered something I could not have found any other way.
I wasn't just losing pregnancies. I was being asked, in the most visceral way possible, to choose who I was becoming.
That question became a book. And the book became a beginning.
Femininity became my strength — not my softness.
For a long time, I confused being a woman with being less. I operated from a masculine framework — drive, push, achieve, prove. It worked. Until it didn't.
The moment I stopped fighting my own feminine nature and started working with it — the way I lead, create, relate, and receive — everything opened up.
Being a woman is not something I work around. It is the foundation I work from.
What I understand because of all of it
I know what it costs to outgrow yourself and not have the language for it.
I know what it feels like to do everything right — the degrees, the career, the milestones — and still feel completely misaligned.
I know what it is to leave everything familiar and discover the thing you were running from was inside you all along.
I know what grief does to your sense of self. I know what love asks you to unlearn. I know what it feels like to finally stop performing a version of yourself that was built for someone else's comfort.
And I know — because I have lived it — that the turning inward is not the problem.
It is the answer.
Why I write and teach.
Because no one should have to find their way back to themselves alone.
I write because I needed these books and they didn't exist yet.
I teach because the recalibration I stumbled through — the long, disorienting, ultimately liberating process of choosing my own identity — doesn't have to be that lonely.
My books are not self-help in the traditional sense. They are honest accounts of a woman finding her way — offered as navigation for yours.
My courses are not about strategies or systems. They are about dismantling the identity you inherited and building the one you actually choose.
Everything I offer, I have lived first.
That is the only kind of offering I know how to make.
Where I am now.
Rooted. Open. Still becoming.
I live in Calgary, Alberta — by choice, by intention, and with full openness to wherever life calls me next.
Trinidad is always with me. The warmth of it, the music of it, the particular way it shaped my earliest understanding of who I was supposed to be — and who I decided I wasn't.
If life ever calls me back, I will welcome it.
For now, this is where the work is happening.
This is where the books are being written, the courses are being built, and the women are finding their way to a version of themselves they always suspected was possible.
I am still becoming too.
That is the whole point.
If you found your way here — you already know something is shifting.
That's not a problem.
That's an invitation.
Come as you are. Become who you're meant to be.
