From Body Shaming to Unshakeable Confidence: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Empowerment.

Nidhhi Mohta - Let's hear her story in her own words.

All my life, I carried the weight of body shaming on my shoulders. I was constantly reminded of how fat I looked, how unaccepted I would be in society, and how my father would need to pay a heavy dowry just to find me a “decent” groom—especially because I had no brother. My worth was measured not by my abilities, but by my appearance. Every remark cut deep, every whisper echoed louder than my own voice. But life has a strange way of showing light in the darkest corners. A school contest—simple yet life-changing—became the turning point. For the first time, I discovered confidence, courage, and the power of self-belief. That one moment helped me rise above ruthless judgments and made me realize that my strength did not lie in fitting into society’s shallow standards, but in standing out with power and grit. That confidence, born years ago, still fuels me today. It gives me the courage to face adversities, to embrace happiness, to share joy, and—most importantly—to help others find their own confidence. My true niche isn’t measured in wealth, but in the love, trust, and support I receive from people around me. I rise to give, and I give to rise—like Maa, a source of endless strength and nurturing power.

Let's hear - Anuradha Kapoor
From Silence to Voice: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Writing.

Childhood whispers often fade into the noise of growing up, but some memories linger, shaping the contours of our lives. In the quiet moments, the echoes of who we once were can guide us toward who we're meant to become.
I grew up in a small Indian town where everyone kind of knew me and my family. I was quiet and tended to stick close to one or two of my friends who I was comfortable with. I was known for getting good grades and for being a ‘good girl’ but was that enough? College was no different, except the fact that I tried desperately to be ‘cool’ like the other students. I got married in 1997 and from Agra – the city of the Taj Mahal, I shifted to Calcutta. From a nuclear family, I was brought into a huge joint family and as all Punjabi families are, mine was no different – loud, lovable and always hungry for food.
I once lost myself in the roles of wife, mother, and daughter-in-law. But beneath the surface, I yearned for self-expression and identity. As depression crept in, I realized I had a choice: remain silent or find my voice.
With my husband's support, I began writing. Words flowed, and my inner voice grew stronger. I wrote short stories for renowned publications and blogged for Momspresso, eventually becoming a top blogger. I've authored books like "STORIES FROM THE HEART," "THE FACADE," and "LEAPS AND BOUNDS." I even ventured into scriptwriting and directing, with my short film "Vartika - a ray of hope" being a notable milestone.
As I honed my craft, I discovered my passion for nurturing young minds through creative writing classes with Word Munchers. This journey taught me that it's never too late to discover oneself. I rose above doubts and fears, finding purpose in writing.
I sincerely hope my story is a testament to the power of finding one's voice and pursuing passions.

Lets read about - From Setbacks to Spotlights: Parul Sehgal Gulati's Journey of Resilience and Triumph .

From a middle-class background, I grew up with dreams bigger than my circumstances. Inspired by Aishwarya Rai, I longed to wear a crown one day. My determination led me to secure 5th place in Miss Calcutta, but the Femina Miss India stage slipped away due to the 5’5” height criteria. Life soon brought early marriage, yet the dream of achieving something more always stayed alive within me.

In 2016, I launched my business, but fate struck hard. A sudden sodium-potassium imbalance caused minor paralysis, leaving me looking like a 60-year-old woman overnight. It was a moment that could have broken me, but I refused to surrender. With faith, grit, and willpower, I rebuilt myself, step by step.

In 2018, I made a remarkable comeback and earned the title of Miss Universe Fabulous in Pune—a crown that symbolized survival, strength, and fulfillment of a long-cherished dream. Since then, I have proudly served as a special guest, jury member, awardee, mentor, brand ambassador, and model.

In 2023, I donated 17 inches of my hair to a cancer patient—because beauty also lies in giving back. My journey proves that when you stay positive and believe in yourself, no dream is impossible.

A story of rising above unforeseen challenges.
Let's read about Rachana Doshi Pagaria and her triumphs.

Age is never a limit when you decide to start something new. Being a mother of a special child, I thought I lost it all. The challenges were numerous and totally new to me. After years of stress, dilemma, struggles and hard work, I have realised its important to live for yourself and do something for yourself.
I found my calling and my love for the mountains took me places far and beyond. My journey began in 2023 when I decided to do something that would give me happiness and I signed up for Everest Base camp trekking. Climbing up to 5364 metres was a real test of my physical and mental abilities. I was successful and so in 2024, I went for Annapurna circuit trek in Nepal. This time I climbed over 5500 metres to Thorong La pass. After this , I went for the actual expedition. It was a peak, the highest trekkable peak, Mera peak, 6470 Metres and I faced numerous challenges ranging from severe cold, sleeping in -30 degrees, low oxygen and was hit by AMS to name a few. But my persistence won and I Summited successfully. By embracing life's unexpected twists with resilience and positivity, you can spread happiness and rise above unforeseen challenges.

Here we are with yet another inspiring story.
Let's hear from Rashmi Agarwal Chamaria how she made self-care her priority and overcame a nightmarish health issue any one can face .

It was a beautiful morning in 2017 when I woke up with an unexpected twist—not in my routine, but on my face. I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, a neurological disorder that left the right side of my face drooping. My eyelid wouldn’t close, my smile was lopsided, and simple tasks like eating or drinking became challenges. I became painfully aware of the curious looks around me and, worse, I struggled to accept my own reflection.

At the same time, my father was fighting cancer. Yet he worried more about my condition than his own. I felt guilty, helpless, and overwhelmed—but then I decided to confront my challenge head-on.

I threw myself into treatment—electromyography, MRI scans, steroids, and physiotherapy. Fortunately, the damage to my facial nerves wasn’t severe. With unwavering support from my loved ones, I recovered after two months of struggle.

That experience taught me something powerful: when we make ourselves a priority, believe in our healing, and consistently take care of our bodies—rest, medicines, and self-care—we recover better and faster.

Here we are with our first story.
Let's hear it from Poonam Bhandari in her own words, how she overcame her challenges by chanelling the Durga energy within.

"Born on the auspicious day of Mahalaya, the day Maa Durga descends to Earth, I’ve been blessed with an extroverted personality. I was a healthy and happy girl until my life took a turn after marriage, marked by constant illness, pregnancy complications, and, a few years ago, endometriosis. I used to question, "Why me?" but I always found a way to turn adversity into triumph. Instead of letting these challenges define me, I chose to rise above them. Each setback became a source of fuel, and each obstacle a lesson.

As a gold medalist, I've always wanted to share my management knowledge. I made this dream a reality by becoming a mentor for female home-entrepreneurs. For three years, I have shared my expertise and also upskilled myself.

My journey also led me to discover a passion for public speaking, which I honed at Toastmasters International. As a public speaker, I unleashed my inner goddess, refining my communication and leadership skills. I won contests, became a district officer, and am now a sought-after emcee and moderator.

My journey wasn't limited to the podium. As a fitness enthusiast, I pushed my limits and became a runner, completing a half marathon. This earned me the honor of being a brand ambassador and poster girl for prestigious marathons in the city, including JBG and Tata Steel World 25K. The discipline and resilience I developed through running have empowered me to overcome physical, mental, and emotional obstacles. Crossing the finish line wasn’t just about miles; it was about proving to myself that discipline and consistency will carry me through anything."

We are grateful to her for sharing her story with us.
