Inspired Series: Dr. Angelina Mehta, GySgt in U.S. Marine & Naturopathic Doctor

What does leadership look like when it’s rooted in service? In the latest episode of the BAPS Better Living – *Inspired Series*, we speak with Dr. Angelina Mehta - a Gunnery Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Reserve and a Naturopathic Doctor who leads with both discipline and compassion.  Angelina’s journey spans two worlds that rarely intersect: the rigor of military service and the healing work of medicine. Yet for her, both paths share a common foundation - service to others. Growing up with a strong spiritual grounding and a deep culture of *seva* (selfless service), Angelina learned early that leadership is not about authority or status. It’s about responsibility.  In our conversation, she reflects on:  • How military leadership is built on trust, accountability, and shared sacrifice  • The Marine Corps principle that “leaders eat last” and what that means in practice  • How caring for patients allows her to serve people at their most vulnerable moments  • Why science and spirituality can complement each other in the pursuit of healing  • How the teachings of spiritual leaders like Pramukh Swami Maharaj and Mahant Swami Maharaj shaped her approach to leadership and humility.  Angelina’s story reminds us that true leadership is not about standing above others - it’s about standing with them. Whether in uniform, in the clinic, or in community service, she shows that the strongest leaders are those who serve first.  🎧 Tune in to hear how discipline, compassion, and humility can come together to shape a life of purpose.  #Leadership #ServantLeadership #LeadershipMatters #PurposeDriven #LeadWithPurpose #LeadershipJourney #bapsbetterliving  OTHER PLATFORMS: INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/baps\_betterliving YOUTUBE https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving  LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/
