Lesson from Christmas

Life lessons come from many angles and Christmas was no different.

Entrepreneurship

In 2006, I had the “perfect” profile on paper

A PhD in psychology, a MBA, a strong track record, a job I loved. And still, I went quiet.

Being nominated for 100 Women of Global Impact is a deep honour and a reflection of the collective work, courage, and transformation we stand for together.

This nomination is not just about me.
It represents every woman who has chosen growth over fear, truth over comfort, and purpose over limitation — especially in the powerful chapter of midlife transformation.

If my work has inspired, supported, or walked beside you in any way, I would be deeply grateful for your support.

✨ Please take a moment to cast your vote
Your vote is a meaningful act of belief — in women rising, in conscious leadership, and in the impact we create together.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
Thank you for your trust, your presence, and your shared vision.

I have been searching for a magic formula for decades.
A formula to feel worthy.
To build self-confidence.
To overcome fear.
To be seen, heard, valued and to find a true purpose in life.
I tried everything.
I studied literature, psychology, journalism, media, PR, business, marketing, you name it.
I went into deep meditation retreats.
I followed healing gurus.
I invested in coaching, mentoring, masterclasses, training, workshops, bootcamps, online and in person.
I really did try everything.
So many times, I felt so close.
Almost there. One more push.
And then, an unpredictable storm would come and pull me away from landing in a safe place.
All I wanted was stability.
I cried.
I blamed myself.
I asked: What am I doing wrong?
Maybe it’s not meant to be…
But every time, I chose to forgive.
To let go.
And to try again.
And again.
And again.
Until I finally found the formula.
It’s called INFLUENCE.
It’s called USING YOUR VOICE.
Because how can we have a voice if we don’t actually use it?
Today, you don’t need permission.
You don’t need to be invited on TV.
You don’t need a newspaper feature to be seen or heard.
We are living in a time where every woman can create her own channel.
You can broadcast your message.
You can raise your profile.
You can share your truth.
And you can do it daily, globally, and on your own terms.
Social media has changed the rules.
It is no longer about waiting to be chosen, it’s about choosing yourself.
When you learn how to intentionally use your voice across social media, you don’t just show up…
you build a platform.
You build credibility.
You build influence.
And that is where confidence, purpose, and impact truly begin.
Yes, it really is that powerful.
All you need is:
A clear inner message
The courage to show up online
Your voice
And a platform that allows you to be seen globally
Social media is today’s stage.
Your voice is your power.
Your message is your currency.
When you learn how to communicate with impact everything changes.
Your confidence grows.
Your clarity sharpens.
Your purpose becomes visible.
Your influence expands.
You attract opportunities, clients, income, collaborations, community, and most importantly, when you use your voice to help others, something extraordinary happens:
It becomes the deepest form of self-healing.
I’ve lived this transformation myself.
And I’ve witnessed it in the journeys of thousands of women who joined the Global Woman movement over the last 10 years.
I’ve seen them:
• crying
• doubting
• trying
• failing
• rising
• winning
Standing in their power.
Showing up boldly.
Using our platform and go global.
Our mantra remains the same: If you want to empower a woman, give her a microphone.
But here is the shift.
You no longer need to wait for someone to hand you a mic.
You don’t need to wait to be invited onto a stage.
You don’t need permission to be seen or heard.
Today, you can turn your phone, your voice, and your message into a platform.
And this is exactly why this challenge is a calling.
A calling for you to make things happen wherever you are.
With no excuses.
With no guilt.
With no blame.
With no shame.
No more no, no, no.
Just courage.
Just clarity.
Just action.
This is your moment to choose yourself, use your voice, and step into your influence, starting now.
If you’ve tried everything… If you know you’re meant for more…
If you’re ready to accelerate your influence and grow your impact through social media…
Try once more.

Christmas has a way of softening the edges of a busy year.

As I look back on 2025, what stays with me most isn’t the pace or the progress, but the people who made it possible to keep going with intention.

This year taught me that leadership isn’t just about vision or resilience. It’s about being supported enough to stay true to yourself while you build. About having someone beside you who sees the whole picture, not just the outcomes.

I’m deeply grateful for my husband and business partner, Alex.
For the quiet strength, the patience, the belief when things felt uncertain, and the steady encouragement that never asked for recognition. Building Nesavaali has been a shared journey, and 2025 reminded me how powerful that partnership truly is.

To everyone who believed in the brand, the work, and the values we stand for, thank you. Your trust, conversations, and support shaped this year in ways that go far beyond numbers.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with warmth, presence, and the people who ground you.
And a 2026 that brings clarity, alignment, and growth that feels good to carry forward.

Financial Couture | Year-End Edit
What thoughtful decisions can you make today to step into the New Year with financial clarity?
This isn’t about grand resolutions or overnight transformations.
It’s about refinement.
A pause before the purchase.
A review instead of avoidance.
A choice that aligns your money with the life you’re intentionally curating.
Clarity doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from deciding with intention.
Today, let your finances fit–comfortably, confidently, and on purpose.
Because financial clarity is always in style.
