Mothers’ Day : Honoring the Women We Know
This May, we want to celebrate Mother’s Day by shining the light and recognizing the mothers who have changed the narrative by choosing to pursue a career or take a career pause and have created a space to be recognized. Here are some inspiring women who have made an impact in their respective fields and on me over the last few months.

TWO WORDS THAT COME TO MIND: MINDFUL, RESILIENT
Christine Moran:
I haven’t met her in person (yet), but I connected with her instantly. This fun-loving insanely experienced person in marketing, advertising, and events is looking to explore opportunities in Singapore in Medical Device Companies. And while she figures that out, she consciously, passionately, and happily volunteers and has so amazingly helped us for our upcoming event on May 25 and also other organizations in fundraising. She makes the most of this time by doing meaningful work that matters to her along with daily local travel itineraries of exploration with her children. Not just living the term of volunteering but doing it with her full heart and soul,
TWO WORDS THAT COME TO MIND: ( apart from me being grateful for her) : BOLD , INNOVATIVE
Nicole Denholder: Founder Next Chapter Raise & Sophia

TWO WORDS THAT COME TO MIND : GOAL ORIENTED , DRIVEN
NEHA RUCH: FOUNDER MOTHER UNTITLED
I only found out about her recently when someone recommended her content. Getting introduced to the content at a time when i was personally struggling in finding meaning for all i envision to do, only helped me discover a different kind of foundation i wished to stand on. a perspective , a narrative i wasn’t exposed to yet and that has helped me feel more confident that the world is way too big to limit ourselves to set notions , set definitions, set paths , set motives or set destinations.
Think Beyond.

TWO WORDS THAT COME TO MIND: IMPACTFUL, STRENGTH
MADHUR PHADNIS:
I was introduced to Madhurr through chat groups and later found that she was also a user of the platform. her marketing expertise knowledge and my quest to understand the challenges we started discussions that lasted a few months and started a test project called mumz box of love. It was through these months thatIi understood the power of believing in our instincts and acknowledging this super power as a mother for the career choices we make.

TWO WORDS THAT COME TO MIND : INTUITIVE, STRATEGIC
Lavania HAJJI: FOUNDER DANCE EMBASSY AND TINTED WATEVA
Again because of the opportunity of meetmumz, I met her, and like with some people you just hit it off. like two peas in a pod, with a similar passion, a similar mindset, and similar directions and instead of competition believe in collaborative co-existence. As a new mother, she has not just survived but created a way to thrive. through her daily struggles, managing two businesses, two children one being a newborn, fitness and fun and not forgetting ( i hope) taking care of herself.. two words that come to mind as she builds Dance Embassy and Tinted Wateva:
