Challenges faced during the journey:

Embracing resilience, I made a courageous choice to leave behind the comforts of a corporate career, dedicating myself to the care of my ailing father. Starting anew, with a solitary client and the solitude of my home office, I faced the challenge head-on. The transition demanded unwavering focus and unyielding determination, especially after years of basking in the limelight for 19+ years in the corporate realm. Despite initial financial struggles, where meagre earnings barely sustained me, I persevered, tirelessly honing my skills and attracting more opportunities. However, just as things seemed to stabilize, the unexpected struck with a devastating blow - my beloved husband's untimely departure due to cardiac arrest. This unfathomable loss inflicted not only emotional turmoil but also inflicted severe financial strain, as income dwindled while unforeseen expenses surged. The weight of these hardships continues to cast a shadow, yet I remain resolute, drawing strength from within to navigate this arduous journey.

Lack of support: The journey has been devoid of any form of support from family and friends, but this absence has only served to make me stronger.

Work-life balance: Navigating the delicate equilibrium between work and parenting, while also managing the responsibilities of running a household, has posed significant challenges. However, I embrace this journey with no regrets.

Advice for women entrepreneurs:

Persist unwaveringly - above all, cultivate unshakeable trust in your instincts and rely solely on your own capabilities.
