Surviving and Thriving: A Single Mother's Journey to Success

As I sit down to write about myself, I can't help but reflect on how far I've come in my life.

It's been a long and winding road, full of unexpected twists and turns. But ultimately, I'm proud of where I am today. You see, I'm a single mother who started out as a Microbiologist, but ended up becoming a Content Writer and a LinkedIn Influencer with approximately 90k followers.

I never imagined that my career path would take such a drastic turn. I spent years studying Biotechnology and even worked in the field for a while. But despite my love for science, I found myself yearning for something more creative. I had always been quite a follower of poems and stories. It was only after I started my professional life after embracing motherhood, I got a chance to live this dream.

Of course, making such a big career change was no easy feat. As a single mother, I had to balance my responsibilities as a parent with my desire to pursue a new career. But with determination and hard work, I was able to make it happen. Today, I can say that I am a successful Content Writer, with a portfolio that includes work for a variety of clients. People know me as a #thegirlwithredbindi and the #momtasticstoryteller.

It might sound like a smooth sail, however, it wasn't easy!

As a single parent, juggling responsibilities can be a daunting task.

It's easy to feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to take care of your child and pursue your dreams. But I'm here to tell you that it's possible to do both.

When I became a single parent, I knew that I had to provide for my child while still pursuing my passions. It was a tough decision to make, but I knew that it was something I needed to do to provide for my daughter and fulfill my personal goals.
