By Sashikanta Malik

You have chosen everyone else.Now, choose yourself.

Rediscover your self-worth, embrace self-love, set healthier boundaries and begin your journey towards peace, purpose and dignity.

A gentle reminder

When did you last choose yourself?

You have spent years caring for others, fulfilling responsibilities and meeting expectations. But somewhere along the way, your own needs, dreams and happiness may have been forgotten. ME MATTER TOO is a gentle invitation to reconnect with yourself, honour your needs and reclaim your dignity—without guilt.

Caring for yourself is not selfish. Your needs, your voice and your dreams matter too.
Chapter one illustration: The Forgotten SelfA journey back to yourself

A reflective, practical guide

ME MATTER TOO is a practical and reflective self-development book for women who have spent years putting everyone else first.

The voice behind the book

Meet the author

Sashikanta Malik is an author, a self-worth and dignity coach, and the founder of Shakti Harmony Empire (SHE). A Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) alumnus with more than 26 years of experience in social development, he works with women who have spent years putting everyone else first, and helps them reclaim their self-worth, set healthier boundaries, and prioritise themselves without guilt.

His writing and coaching grow from a simple conviction: dignity is not something to be earned or negotiated, and a woman’s own needs deserve a place at the top of her list. Based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, he is also a passionate singer who believes in living with purpose, joy and dignity.

Reading these pages, I hear the familiar voice of someone who believes in people’s capacity to find their way, even through difficult times.

Surbhi Srivastava

This book is more than a manual for moving from self-doubt to self-realisation and personal transformation. It is also a journey Sashi has lived himself.

Raghavendra Kumar

Through the relatable character of Meera, the book holds up a mirror to the quiet sacrifices and heavy price paid in the pursuit of being a “good woman.”

Indira Priyadarshini

Chief Life Architect & Life Coach | Odisha, India

I strongly see and believe that thousands of Meera that Sashi has worked with are the co-creators of this beautiful creation ME MATTER TOO.

Satyajit Jena

That experience provided me with valuable insights into self-awareness, helping me rediscover and appreciate my own strengths and qualities.

What makes the book especially valuable is that it does not leave the reader midway after awakening those emotions—it provides a clear path forward.
