Weaving Her Own Web

Rashmi Chada, 33,

Founder- Wovoage, a women friendly travel company

“Follow your passion and believe in yourself even when nobody does.”

We live in a society where women have specific roles designated to them since birth such as daughter, sister, wife, and mother. Clubbed with these are the roles a modern woman plays in the professional front. Needless to say, juggling so many roles, ‘pre-defined’ by society is rather demanding. And things tend to become even more complicated when one faces a major financial, personal or health challenge. However, there have been enough examples of women who have tackled everyday challenges in the book head-on and then come out on top. Such stories inspire us and make us believe in ourselves.

Rashmi Chada, 33, founder of Wovoyage, which focuses on women travel, met with a major accident in 2011. She was admitted to ICU and became conscious after six days. She could not understand at that time what happened to her, but she knew something was wrong. She could not hear and there was a constant voice buzzing in her ear which she later got to know was Tinnitus. It is a condition where one has the perception of noise or ringing in the ears and an underlying condition, such as ear injury or a circulatory system disorder. At the same point of time, she lost her left eye vision along with multiple injuries.

“Having all these problems was a huge shock for me. My hearing aid did not work. When everybody said that there is no hope left, I kept my hope alive,” says Chada.

She did her own research and started on her journey to get better. She trusted the process and delved into spirituality and ayurveda which helped with her treatment.
