In my corporate career, defining success seemed simple and Fun Ride, but that did not stop me from moving forward with my passion to empower new couples on the arrival of their little ones. Being a mom of 2, my 2nd pregnancy challenged me more.
I was in a dream world as everyone feels happy about being pregnant for the 2nd time. As a 2nd time mom, I had doubted how my elder son is going to accept his brother, it’s still fresh and a dream that I never dreamt of, my boy welcoming his little brother.  After giving birth, I was pushed to PPD by baby blue. Though my husband was playing a major role in taking care of me, my boys and household chores, I was homesick, missing my family back home to cherish the moments with my newborn and I also felt bad that my younger one was not able to get the attention and love as much as the elder one.
Professionally and personally, that changed the trajectory of my life.  Mainly, this wasn’t easy for me after delivery because it was only my husband and me with kids. We went back to India to reunite with the family, expecting everything to change, but it did not. I had weird thoughts which I was not able to overcome, I started hating myself for thinking that way, I lost my patience, I became short temper, was not ready to agree with myself for being rude, I lost my temper with my kids and husband, this happened repeatedly, everything felt overwhelming for me. Which led to seeking counselling. I spoke to a couple of counsellors regarding the thoughts that were running in my mind immediately after my 2nd son’s birth. When having these conversations, I realized what was most important for me and what I wanted in life. My problem was a mindset issue, battling between what I want and meeting the needs of society was difficult, screw IT, I am over IT.
