Who is Geetika Agarwal from Geetika Agarwal Coaching?
I was born in Kenya to upper-middle-class Indian parents. Both educated. Both were extremely happy at the birth of a girl child. I have always been treated at par with my brother. Taught to be fiercely independent, opinionated, well-read, and allowed to chase my dreams.
We moved to India in 1994, as a lot of the people we knew were moving back due to educational and familial reasons.
Excelled in school, bagging top-ranking positions not because I am intelligent or clever but because the most important attribute that has come to me by my genes – to work hard.
Got into a good engineering college. Started my working life in a good IT services company.
BUT
Something changed. On paper, everything looks great, too good to be true. Yet here I was feeling empty, without any purpose extremely sad and unhappy. For 4 years I woke up crying not wanting to go to work.
My parents moving to another city gave me the strength and courage to quit this safety net I had created for myself and go look for something that would satisfy me, and lead me toward my purpose and calling.
I happened to join learning and development. I began to enjoy it. I also excelled at it.
Life throws curve balls when you least expect it to.
I got married and moved countries. Very happy events.
I gave up my job. Very confusing period of my life.
While undergoing this transition –
I lost my confidence.
I lost independence.
I lost focus on my goals.
It took me 4 years before I could finally find my ground.
AND
In 2020, right when the pandemic hit, I got the wonderful news that I am going to be a mother. I gave birth to a lively, lovely bouncy happy child in Dec 2020 exactly in the midst of the pandemic. I went through my pregnancy and postpartum all alone as my family could not travel due to travel restrictions.
It was a very challenging period YET
I was confident, raring to go, and totally aware of how my time would look like with an infant in my arms.
This is what inspired me to start the program ‘Women in Transition’. We also have a small community of women on Facebook with the same name and in Dec 2021, I launched an activity book – Women in Transition available on Amazon Kindle that outlines short, simple, and introspective activities that will help Women to develop their own goals using their own strengths and awareness about themselves.
I am a leadership coach and I help women in leadership positions and women in transition understand, analyze, and OWN their stories and show the world what they are capable of.

Who is Anna Lees from HealthywithAnia?
As Anna says:
I am a foodie, my company ‘HealthyWithAnia’ was born from my love of food and a passion for healthy eating.
I believe that healthy eating is much more than just fitting into ‘skinny jeans’.
With my workshops, nutritional programs and corporate offers, I want to show you that a healthy diet can change the quality of your life. Currently I work with busy, working professionals, helping them to manage a successful career whilst maintaining healthy eating. This all started after attending numerous networking events.
Often when introducing myself, a lot of successful entrepreneurs and managers said they are not ‘into’ healthy eating. This was shocking to me, as it sounded as though people were treating healthy eating as a hobby, almost like collecting stamps. It made me realize that there is an urgent need to raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating among working professionals.
Today, I teach how to increase productivity and effectiveness with diet.

Who is Mangla Sachdev from Expat Business In A Bag?
As Mangla says:
Originally from London, I moved from Malaysia to Melbourne, North of England to Scotland, and now to sunny Singapore.
I had set up a business in almost every city, but with each move, I had to pack up and say goodbye to clients who had become friends. I have now built a business to help other’s like myself build a business they can take anywhere and not have to start from scratch each time.
As a PR in Singapore, I help fulfill LOC requirements and support businesses at the stage they’re in – so whether you’re in need of building your audience or a strategy to make money more consistently, send me a message for a free 20-minute consult.
I have built 7 businesses around the world, many reaching 6-figures within the first 2 years. Follow me on @expatbusinessinabag and send me a DM for a link to join my private FB group where we network, discuss ideas thriving around the world, and collaborate. My story started when I was on the board of my children’s school Parent Teacher Association. Having faced many bad experiences with customer service when we needed to order t-shirts for fundraising efforts, my bff here and I decided to start our own company.
We registered 1 week before the world locked down. But we thrived during that time as we had our first client within 48 hours and hit six figures within the first year. As this business thrived in 2020 and continues to do so, it got me thinking that should we move, I’d have to start all over again in a new country. So that is how and why Expat Business In A Bag came about. I can’t wait to read your story.
