I am a first-generation migrant with a senior corporate role in Australia. In my journey, I have become a trendsetter, going outside the norm on numerous occasions. I even got married for the first time at 49 and learned to ride a bike in my 50s. I actively engage as a speaker, coach, and mentor, supporting numerous individuals from minority groups in building confidence and achieving success in their careers. However, my life has not always been this smooth. I have encountered hardships and learned to overcome them. I cultivated immense resilience to lead a thriving and accomplished life. In fact, my story contains multiple layers that resonate with many.
My narrative revolves around the challenges I faced while striving to meet the expectations of my family, society, and religious affiliations. It encompasses how I embraced a new cultural identity while preserving my own cultural heritage. It shares my journey of how I reconciled conflicting morals, values, and expectations imposed by others. Furthermore, it delves into the intricacies of balancing a deeply spiritual life, a strong Eastern culture, and a distinctly Western lifestyle.
My story entails searching within myself to discover my true purpose. It chronicles my exploration of how much to give back. It also includes the determination I harboured to succeed as an individual from a minority group in the corporate sector. My story highlights the risks I took and the quest to find my voice, defying a world that often renders individuals invisible.
Moreover, my story revolves around breaking societal norms without disrespecting anyone. It showcases my journey of finding my place within a family already entrenched in established traditions. It illuminates the paths I forged into the lives of teenage stepchildren.
Furthermore, my story is a testament to my unwavering belief in my inner strength and my ability to construct a supportive network around me. It reflects my resilience in the face of multiple losses and grief. It embodies the notion of picking up the shattered pieces when life crumbles and emerging stronger after each setback.
Through blog posts and podcasts, I aim to share my journey in the hope of helping others find their own purpose, inspire them to persevere and untangle the societal expectations that weigh them down. Using research and drawing upon my personal experiences, I aim to facilitate individuals in adjusting to various life changes. I offer career coaching to those in need. I actively participate as a speaker at various forums, empowering individuals, particularly women and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, to uncover their true callings and achieve fulfilment in their lives.
