How has motherhood influenced your approach to your work as a business owner and influencer?

Motherhood has taught me to be a better person, to be kinder, and to appreciate the little things. It has helped me understand people better and their problems too.

Balancing career and family can be challenging. Can you share some strategies or routines that have helped you maintain harmony between your professional and personal life?

Balancing work and family hasn't been easy. It's been a tough struggle, but I've managed with the support of my family. I primarily work during school hours. I opted to work alongside my child to spend more time together and teach him while exploring various places. It's all about taking things as they come, and I've learned to manage through lots of practice.
