Put together a pot of fragrant home grown lemon grass Tea, a relaxing setting and four chatty ladies and the conversation will obviously be lively and fast flowing!
What started off as light-hearted, random banter (ranging from horrific and hilarious cautionary tales of post breast feeding deflated mammaries to irrational Post Office timings😶) took a turn into a deep and solemn conversation.
It so happens we are each small Business Owners , working hard to build our Business Empires while running (sometimes barely juggling) our Kingdoms at Home, and so we fell into an easy discussion of the high and lows , the perks and challenges and the sheer weight of finding the perfect balance of work and play in our lives and keeping our sanity while we do it all!
In that moment we four realised that though we had amazing friends and supportive families there were some things that they just didn't understand about the struggles we faced being Business Women like the finnicky client demands, the strains of social media marketing, the crazy time management and oddly even how the ridiculous Post Office timings affect us! 😃
We left our tête à tête feeling refreshed, better informed from ideas exchanged and just a bit unburdened of our common problems even if just for that moment.
So when Priyanka took on herself to put us four into a whatsapp group saying " Wasn't that Tea time together just so great? How wonderful would it be if EVERYONE could benefit just coming together this way? "
We all couldn't agree more.. Because as we shared about our lives as women, as wives, as moms, as entrepreneurs, we felt this incredible aura of inspiration, comfort and reassurance.
And In that moment, the idea of GAIA was born.
