All is never lost…

My childoo was 2. I was 37. I was a full time mom (well I freelanced from home a bit). I gave up hope of ever getting back to my professional life. After all, Goa was the perfect place for advertising professionals to retire, write books and enjoy the good life.

I wasn’t making any money. And for someone who has been financially independent – that was a huge setback in my mind. I knew I was depressed. The worse I felt, the more I ate. The fatter I got.

But I read a lot. I started reading more about moms who got back to work after motherhood. From home. Flexi hours. The idea appealed to me.

And then I read an article somewhere that said, “Mothers who work part time, make better mothers than full time mothers.” I realised that was so true. Staying away from your child for a part of the day makes you a better person, and therefore a better mom!

“Don’t feel guilty about working.” That’s the common advice I read everywhere.

Being a mass media/communications person I realized social media is the next big thing and began to understand how to use it professionally. On the side I started freelancing as a travel blogger.

I took charge of my life. I started working out. Getting back in to shape – mentally and physically. I threw out all my XL and XXL clothes.

Stay tuned for how my life changed after that. And join me in a fun session here on the app from 3-5pm on HOW TO GET YOUR MOJO BACK!
