I’m 35.

At 25, I was extremely ambitious and wanted to do something extraordinary while becoming rich. Well, I worked in IT for 14 hours a day, saved $12K and visited 10 countries, but the zest of doing something extraordinary was unfulfilled.

At 32, my life took a 360-degree turn.

I left my job to be with my husband in the US, experienced recurring pregnancy losses and my health was in terrible shape. From 32 to 35, life threw me one curve ball after another. I was mostly angry and frustrated with the decisions I took and the choices I made.

And who had to bear the reactions? Unfortunately, my poor husband!

All these life adversities made me rethink and work on my inner being. I learned how to respond and not react and be responsible for my own happiness.

Hence, my journey to strengthen my inner being began.

First, I realized I was completely broke. Though my husband was earning well, I had no bank balance of my own. I decided to resume my full-time job. As I had ample experience in the corporate world, I knew getting a job wouldn’t be tough for me.
