Hi there! I’m the eldest daughter in my family, which meant I was always the one taking charge—whether it was helping my younger siblings with their homework, managing the household, or just being the go-to person for anything that needed doing. Back in India, life was busy, but I never really had to worry about taking care of myself. My mom was there, always making sure everything was in order.

But when I moved to Canada to study and build my career, everything changed. I suddenly found myself far from home, in a new country, with all the responsibilities of managing my personal and professional life. The homesickness hit hard. It wasn’t just about missing my family—it was about feeling the weight of being away from everything familiar. It’s tough for any child to live far from home, and I wasn’t an exception.

Even though it was challenging, I managed to push through. I balanced my studies and work, and eventually, I realized that if I could do it, anyone living far from their parents could do it too. This experience taught me just how crucial self-care is, not just for surviving, but for thriving.

That’s why I started “Nurture Yourself.” I wanted to create a space where people like me, who might be struggling to balance their lives while being far from home, can find support, inspiration, and practical advice on self-care. Because if I could find a way to take care of myself and achieve my goals, I believe everyone else can too.

So, welcome to “Nurture Yourself”—a place where we can all learn to prioritize our well-being, no matter where life takes us.
