Nobody gives you a roadmap for how to live a meaningful, happy, fulfilling life. Messy Bliss is my attempt to create one for myself.

Welcome. I’m Sucharita Varanasi, a first-generation Indian American raising two children in Cambridge, Massachusetts. By day, I serve as General Counsel at the Nonprofit Finance Fund, a mission-driven organization working to strengthen nonprofits and the communities they serve. Before that, my career spanned corporate law and the financial services industry, experiences that continue to shape how I think about justice, power, and opportunity.

I’m also a former college athlete who still finds clarity in running, someone who loves books, travel, good conversations, and the quiet joy of being with family and friends.

This website is my playground. A place to think out loud about identity, purpose, culture, and the messy process of becoming. Here I explore what it means to live truthfully, to grow through change, and to build a life that feels aligned.

If you’ve ever felt like you were figuring it out as you go, you’re in the right place.

Join me on this messy but beautiful journey called life.
