Wandering around Disney World, Orlando, celebrating my husband Roga’s 50th birthday with our daughters, Leia, 15, and Sanaya, 14, I feel so proud I can treat them to such a special trip. As we check out the new Star Wars attractions, the girls giggle with excitement, while Roga, a huge fan of the films has a big grin stretched across his face. A luxurious holiday like this would’ve normally been well out of our budget, but it’d been a gift from my company, thanking me for all my hard work. And enjoying all of the different rides in the Floridian sunshine makes every risk that I’ve taken during the past five years worth it, a thousand times over.
In August 2015, after years working in marketing, I was bored and disillusioned with my career. I’d fallen into the job as it provided a secure wage as Roga and I brought up Leia and Sanaya, and purchased our own home. But now they were 10 and nine, and I was fed up with working long hours and missing out on so much time with them.
