Shreya Gautam as a proud mother shares her journey of motherhood “I made a very gradual transition to a working mom after being a stay at home mother for 7 years. The only way I could strike a balance and reach near perfection was by utilising all resources available to me. As mothers, we sometimes feel guilty not just about prioritising work but also about asking for help. I had to lock both those factors and throw the key away because I am setting an example for my daughters to follow and I wouldn't want them to hesitate even once to ask for help.”

2.Alisha Arsiwalla, Fashion & Lifestyle Influencer
Alisha Arsiwalla talks about her Journey as a content creator and a mom “ After Post graduation I started my own fashion label but once I got pregnant, I decided to divest my fashion label and prioritise caring for my child. Raising my child and staying at home was completely my decision. I wanted to be a hands on mom in the initial years.Through my motherhood journey I discovered another career opportunity of becoming a full time content creator. I am fortunate to have an unwavering support system from my family. Without any qualms or remorse, I accept help from any available source, particularly when my family is present. Therefore, I do seek assistance when required. Balancing my career and my daughter are equally paramount to me, and my husband and I believe in supporting each other to achieve this equilibrium and that can only happen when there is equal parenting.

"I believe in spending quality time with my ten-year-old daughter, Ananya Kashyup by engaging in activities that we both enjoy. This includes reading books together, organizing night stays with her friends, regular outings, and celebrating every little milestone in her life after working hours and during weekends. Besides this, I am actively involved in supporting my daughter's passion for art by taking her to exhibitions and encouraging her, which provides her with a creative outlet. It's not always easy, but I make sure to prioritize her needs and make the most of the time we have together." This quote reflects Pallavi's belief in the importance of creating meaningful connections with her daughter, even in the midst of a busy professional life.”

Dr. Pallavi Ghalsasi describes opting to be a mother as one the best decisions of her life “One of the best decisions I have taken in my life was of becoming a mother! This special decision has given me an opportunity to live a transformed new life!My motherhood has given me confidence to venture in unknown territories from grass root level. It taught me develop an empathetic, caring mind and sense of responsibility to believe strongly in an inclusive policy. Ability to be patient, flexible, to multitask, effectively communicate and work in ever evolving complex situations would not have been possible had I not been a mother.
