“I’ve always been a happy, vivacious girl who smiles warmly at everyone she meets. I have enough trust to get back up and pick myself up if someone or something knocks me down. Since I am a perpetual optimist, I don’t see the sense in harbouring pessimistic thoughts. If this doesn’t work, there’s always another option, in my opinion.

I’ve been happily married for ten great years and till 8 years post my marriage I couldn’t conceive. More than you, a lot of pressure is built by society, family, and by your friends. All these Why’s, When’s and How’s are built. I never anticipated going through this, and more significantly, I didn’t believe it would have any impact on me. I had been suffering from PCOD and was always checking on my weight and being physically active. After 3 years of marriage, we decided to have kids, and when my menstruation cycles were not regular, I started visiting a lot doctors and started taking a variety of medicines. So, my body had made certain reactions like bloating, feeling nauseated and lethargic.

I was working and to quit was not my way to deal with it. I handled the stress of not having kids, and by taking too many medicines, my body too was under stress.
One day after a terrible stomach ache, I was rushed to the hospital, and after a lot of tests, and check-ups the final verdict was that I couldn’t conceive naturally as both of the fallopian tubes were blocked. So, I will have to go through IVF- In Vitro Fertilization where the egg is fertilized outside and further process is done. This didn’t end well and I was in absolute denial. I couldn’t process my emotions and was devastated. It was very tough to handle and my husband was a rock to me and my family too supported me throughout this phase.

After a lot of discussion with my friends and cousins, I realised that many women out there are facing the same situation as me. This is when I decided to talk about my journey and build something new to support my fellow mates who are undergoing the same circumstances.

I came to realisation that there is no point in weeping over spilled milk and accepting reality is the one way forward. At this point, I strongly felt that helping those who are going through similar circumstances was my way of healing. When I first began writing and discussing about my experience online, I was surprised to learn that 60% of women were experiencing infertility. As I got to know each one of them personally, I also realised how fortunate I was, because these women were going through a lot of mental and physical abuse, simply because they couldn’t bear children, as if it was their duty.

Society makes it quite clear that a woman’s only function in this world is to give birth to children. Thus I made the firm decision to defy these conventional standards. That’s when I thought of starting an initiative for women at the end of 2020.

Since my project was geared towards assisting women and raising awareness, I wanted someone who was exactly on the same page as me or who had the same vision as me, without looking for anything in return. Eventually I met a few amazing women from different parts of the world who share the same journey. They were immediately on board and we started planning to take it further. One of us is already an NLP Practitioner and she does a lot of counselling as well. Currently, four of us are working towards this initiative and we share our work equally, as one handles overall content on social-media platforms and the other takes care of marketing. I do the initial screening and if the client requires expertise, then I would pass her on to Madhu- NLP Practitioner. At the end of the day, we wanted to make sure we were credible and experienced enough because we are dealing with mental health here. We wanted to help people genuinely and be well equipped. In order to do that, we took up certification courses to become life coaches.
People reach out to us through online platforms and through mutual family members and friends.

Our mission is to help women understand the value of expressing their feelings. We are now sufficiently reputable and accredited. We have a specific procedure and service that can comfort women and resolve their problems. We make sure that we are here to listen and not judge.”
