So this is what a career change feels like.

It’s eery. I’m happy. Ecstatic. But iffy. There’s this gorgeous fear in the depths of my heart as I go from Business Manager, Member Excom, Director Finance of Multinationals to a Volunteer position as a Breastfeeding Peer Support Group Leader and the CEO of a Charity Organisation whose logo I made on Canva.

I’m scared because I’ve never been this vulnerable with my career before. Yes I started off into entrepreneurship three years ago but NOTHING had my heart like Human Lactation does. This passion matches no other. Perhaps Accounting/ Finance and Software/ Technology? However the vulnerability I am feeling is one I have never felt before.

And it is gorgeous. NOW I know why people do this.

I’m back to school, studying, going a little nutty, running my own Facebook Support Group, but it’s alright. I am quite literally building a second career which is as nerdy as I like it. I could never ever settle for being a “Seth” (typical Pakistani business owner). It is too laid back for my taste.

I love Jane Fonda and I love how she refers to her life as different lifetimes within the one.

I feel like having given nearly 22 years to Finance, I was now ready for something that will make a difference to the world around me.

To give back to the world as a Global Citizen. I do not discriminate based on borders. I’m helping women form all over the world with their Breastfeeding journey and that’s the beauty of it.

Anatomy and Human Lactation transcends borders like so much more. It feeds into the concept of blurring borders and anything that brings a cotton picker woman in interior Punjab closer to, I don’t know, Sheryl Sandberg!

We are all the same. So we all deserve the same life expectancy for our offsprings and respect and education through a process that is natural but may not come naturally to a woman today because of a non-friendly society (ESPECIALLY including medical facilities) towards Breastfeeding.

This cause is way bigger than me or most things I have done in life.

My start is humble but my goal is right at the top and just like Perfect Strangers taught us as kids

“Nothing’s Gonna Stop me Now!”
