The face behind Wholistic Health- Himani Kapoor
What’s your story?
My journey from being a corporate girl to moving toward as a health coach. I worked in the financial service industry for 11 years and hold a Master of Business Administration degree in Marketing and Human Resources. Always been a corporate girl. Growing up, I was an obese child, an unhealthy teenager, and always an overweight person, heaviest at 95kg. I would have tried a zillion fad diets and consulted multiple nutritionists, and dieticians. Nothing was working for me, in my mind I was working very hard and doing all the right things but I was seeing minimum results. I have always been passionate about health and fitness. I decided to take some radical decisions towards my health and well-being – I signed up at Institute for Integrative Nutrition, NY. I truly believe in the concept of Bio-individuality – the fact that there is no “one size fits all” diet. Diets don’t work. You cannot be on a diet for lifelong. Diets are not sustainable, a healthy lifestyle is. You need to understand what food works for you and how your body is responding to the different food groups. Social distractions, vacations, travel are a big part of our life’s. We need to learn to enjoy those without having to feel guilty about diet breaks or diet cheats.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work? Did you have a crossroad moment?
Many crossroad moments. I was filled with many doubts and uncertainties, will I be able to do this? Am I making the right choice.?Deep down I was always passionate about health and nutrition but never thought I could make it as a career. Finally, I trusted my instincts and decided to go for it.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER:FOUNDER:SELF?
That’s the hardest part, being a mother you need to not only be responsible for your business but for your family. But I am very fortunate that my daughter is very understanding and my biggest supporter for my venture.
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
Believe in yourself and just do it.
Would you like us to highlight previous/current accomplishments? ( personal/ professional)
I love seeing my clients achieve their health goals. Its most satisfying and filling part of my job.
What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ?
Its overwhelming, exciting, and fulfilling

The face behind KOVA Branding| MRKT Creative- Jerica Liew
What’s your story?
Frustrated with the rigidity of a corporate work structure, 2020 saw me leaving that world and entering knee-deep into the sect of entrepreneurship. I was particularly fascinated by the world of brand building and design automation, how these are used as a medium to drive impact.
I realised that there was a lot of noise in the branding and marketing world, a lot of promoting but not enough listening. Often, the solutions are right there when we listen, and I found solace in helping founders to convey their thoughts in a visual-forward manner that brings their purpose to life.
I launched my first business KOVA with the intention of exploring branding as a medium to drive impact.
Following KOVA’s principle of providing only what is essential for a holistic strategy and visual identity, I proceeded to launch MRKT, a design automation studio with a central goal of empowering female entrepreneurs and small business owners. The intersection of gender and entrepreneurship was another gap in the industry I wanted to help. MRKT is designed as an intuitive platform allowing founders to automate the creation of digital assets necessary to grow their brands.
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
Just do it! Launch that product, purchase that course, pick up that book. We always convince ourselves out of doing the things that we don’t realise will bring us the most fulfilment. Start before you feel ready.
What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Founder?
Authenticity. Impact. Joy.

Who is Camilla Knight from Creative Connection?
What Was your crossroad Moment?
As Camilla says:
My crossroad moment: My crossroads happened before I was a mum. I was living in London and had a demanding corporate job, I was young and still in ‘people pleaser’ mode which eventually led to a panic attack. When I went to my Doctor he said ‘you need to learn to breath, there is a yoga studio above the surgery’.. and that was it! I suddenly realised that there was a different way to live a life and BE and I realised that I am the master of my own destiny as I stepped out of victim mode and started to create a life i’d dreamed of. I had my son at 40 years old with ease, he was a dream come true (having been told I couldn’t have children). I am so grateful that I can be around for him fully by not working a 9-5 yes there are sacrifices that come with working sporadic hours and having an inconsistent income but its totally worth it!

Who is Rani Sherin Idris from the Consciousness network?
As Rani says:
Growing up, I had many issues that ranged from rejection to estrangement. I unfortunately did not know that help was available, so I coped by denying my issues, distracting myself and pretending that all was well.
When my load got heavier, I had to change tactics, I DIY-ed managing my issues and caring for myself. I read up, did a masters in religious studies, and helped myself – that’s why its called self-help, right? Yes it helped, but it was a painful decade of slow healing.
When I became a mother, I had severe postpartum issues and I was adviced that I should seek help. I reluctantly did, because notse I believe that a stranger would understand my struggles and my pain?
Five years later, I am in a much better place today! Not perfect, far from it, I am still a work in progress, but how I truly wish I knew that I could seek help much much earlier – it would have saved the younger and vulnerable me from suffering alone in silence for all those years!
I have had the privilege of being cared for by passionate and professional therapists, coaches and teachers. They facilitated my detachment from the stories that trapped me in a vicious loop and into the zone of healing, clarity, love and purposeful action. My journey’s highlight is that I am not… alone!
It gives me deep joy to be a facilitator of personal growth. To me, this is my highest calling and in line with the nurturing role of a mother. My clarity and self-awareness allow me to be a present mother to my two children. And their presence helps me connect with my inner child and my sense of wonder and mystery!
I know keep in mind that help is always available to us in every milestone of our journey. we can deepen our awareness, master our emotions, form deep, authentic relationships, communicate with clarity and unlock our fullest potential. And I look forward to seeing how you change the world by showing up as who you were always meant to be.
