Mindset & Wellness Bites with Meenal

Chase Your Dream

Born in a Gujrati (Kutchi) family on 7thOct … Meenal is the only daughter and obviously father’s favourite child. Two brothers one elder, one younger. Was brought up in a loving and caring atmosphere. Completed my graduation in commerce stream, also a diploma course in Journalism and Mass Media. Wanted to pursue career in journalism however due to odd working hours was not permitted.

Got married to my childhood love in Dec1994, Life changed 360 degrees in Oct 1995 when I lost my husband in an accident. Was 8 months pregnant. My daughter was born on 10th Dec 1995…. Was not sure should I be happy or cry… But she was and is the reason for me to survive

Was in a semi depressed state for months but had the responsibility of my daughter so put the brave front up. Had put on 20 odd kilos post pregnancy and in this mental state. Would meet the family doctor every now and then with some or the other complaint. One day he asked me to check my weight which was 20 kilos more …. He motivated me to join a gym follow diet. A turning point in my life lost 18 odd kgs in 6 months then weight management. that day and today I hit the gym first thing in the morning.

I started personal fitness training, helped people loose weight, did this as a passion and of course it paid me. More because I had experienced how I had regained confidence after losing weight and becoming fit.

My parents were very supportive my mother stayed with me till my daughter was around 8 years. …Lost my father in 2004 around same time get to know my husband’s business is all gone... will have to work for a living. With no prior work experience, other than 1.5 years of working as a receptionist/ office assistant, had to take up a job leaving my daughter with my Mom. My daughter blamed that I don’t love her and dint care because I could not spend time with her help her in studies etc… this continued till recently when she realised why i was working. Nevertheless, all these years she has developed a grudge against me for this

Lost my mother in 2010. Pillar of my life…

Worked in different industries and profiles from risk management, relocations, security. Exhibitions to telecom… travelled nationally and internationally for work. Grew in my career with many ups and downs, leechee boss, supportive boss and colleagues All said and done God has been very kind was able to give a good life to my daughter who is getting married now!!!

In 2019 started my own business in Food tech as a consultant and a business partner for a Cloud Kitchen. Some unavoidable reasons had to close that business. Continued with consultancy services and also started Life coaching services in around 2020.
