Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me, my journey in life so far, and why I’m doing what I’m doing.

I wasn't supposed to be here.

At six years old, I left everything I knew behind and arrived in a country that didn't know how to hold me. I was bullied, I was othered, and somewhere along the way, I stopped knowing who I was.

What followed was a life that tested me in ways I never could have prepared for. Domestic violence. A miscarriage. A diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at the height of my career. Marriages that broke me open. Businesses built and lost. A home in foreclosure. And then my Mom passed away. The woman I had moved heaven and earth to care for. Gone.

I sat in the wreckage of all of it and asked myself the only question that mattered: now what?

I went back to school. I rebuilt — again. And somewhere in that rebuilding, I realized this was never just my story.

This is the story of so many women. Women who have been broken by life. By relationships, loss, illness, grief, and betrayal. Women who are quietly wondering if there is still something left for them on the other side.

There is. I am living proof.

Today, I work as a trauma-informed coach and counsellor-in-training for women who are ready to stop surviving and start building. Not just a business. A life they actually choose.

I bring everything. The wounds and the wisdom, the strategy and the healing. Because I know that you cannot build something real without first being real about what broke you.

You don't need someone who has had it easy.

You need someone who has come all the way back.

I'm Kanwal. And I'm here.
