Where there is a will, there is a way!

“Neha, your body is not responding to the pregnancy very well. You could end up losing your baby if you do not take precautions” I still remember those words from the Gynaecologist very clearly.

Everything in my life has been so perfect, I was doing very well in my job and was stepping up the corporate ladder quickly. A top performer and a lucky wife, I couldn’t ask for more.

My life partner who also happened to be my close friend always supported me through thick and thins and I got married to him at the age of 30.

We decided to get into parenthood after two years and it all began. My pregnancy was complicated My doctor advised me strict bed rest and I had no option but to resign. I had to take a break in my career. I was not mentally prepared for it. All of a sudden it felt like the end of my career. I was very much in despair with this thought. My husband consoled me. He said it is a short phase and will pass. But I was not ready to accept. After resigning, I stayed at home just sleeping on the bed. We hired a maid for doing all household work.

But sitting at home taking rest doing nothing was a tough situation for me. Just playing with the mobile, listening to songs, watching T.V. and sleeping was my daily routine. Soon my life became stagnant resulting in my mood swings. My husband got worried. After consulting with a counsellor he suggested me to look for work from home options. I also agreed with him. I wanted to come out of stagnancy. So I started browsing for any work from home opportunities to relieve the boredom of life.

I came across Pink Desk which is established only for women with the mission of women’s growth and empowerment. They are helping women to share their ideas, knowledge in the field of their interest. I found it interesting and registered there. Soon I started blogging about my interests like beauty, fashion, and travel. In a few days, I started getting a good response too. It was like exploring and finding ‘me’ within that was missing for a long time . It has made my pregnancy bearable and I am mostly too occupied to think of the complications and problems that might arise. I am even sharing my experience with other women who might be going through similar phase and soon plan to form a close knit community to deal with pregnancy related complications.

Sometimes there comes an unexpected turn in life and you don’t have any other option but to face it and find a path through it. If you have a positive attitude of looking at the problems as opportunities in disguise, you can definitely find a solution. Now I feel like I am doing much more than just earning for myself and I am building an identity beyond the walls of a corporate office. Afterall Where there is a will, there is a way!

First of all, thank you for sharing such a deeply personal and emotional journey. Your story holds immense value, not just because it talks about the hurdles of pregnancy, but because it showcases a very real and often unspoken side of a woman’s life—where career, identity, and motherhood often collide in complicated ways.


Your experience highlights the stark reality that pregnancy, despite being one of the most celebrated phases of a woman’s life, can also be isolating and career-disrupting. It’s admirable how you faced a life-altering situation—one that came without a choice—and turned it into an opportunity for self-exploration and community building. However, your story also raises several uncomfortable yet necessary questions about how society views women’s roles and how our professional frameworks are not designed to support working mothers during such transitions.


It’s heartening to see that your husband stood by you and played a supportive role. But not every woman is that fortunate. In fact, your ability to leave a corporate job, hire a maid, and eventually find a platform like Pink Desk is a privilege many do not have. The practical reality is, for many women, leaving a job means permanent unemployment and financial instability. Your story, while inspirational, should also be a call to action for better maternity policies and more inclusive work-from-home options—not just as a privilege but as a right.


Also, it is important to note that while “where there is a will, there is a way” is a powerful statement, it risks sounding dismissive to women who may be trying just as hard but facing barriers beyond their control. Mental health, financial constraints, lack of spousal support, and limited digital access are real issues. So yes, your journey is a testament to resilience—but it should also fuel a larger dialogue around structural change.


On the brighter side, your involvement with Pink Desk shows how digital platforms can offer not just economic engagement but also emotional healing. Finding purpose beyond the corporate structure is liberating, and building a new identity through content creation is indeed powerful. Your initiative to create a community for women dealing with difficult pregnancies is both noble and necessary. That’s where your impact extends beyond personal gain and contributes to the collective well-being of other women.


In conclusion, your experience is both a lesson and a mirror—it teaches resilience but also reflects the inadequacies in our societal and corporate structures. Sharing stories like yours—authentically and unapologetically—helps normalize vulnerability, create dialogue, and push for reform. You didn’t just rediscover yourself—you paved a path for others to follow.
