• Born in the city of Muzaffarpur in Bihar, Shivangi had wanted to become a pilot since she was a young girl. She was commissioned into the Indian Navy last year after her initial training. Fulfilling her long-cherished dream, she received her 'qualification wings' and has joined the operational duties at Kochi naval base. People were very supportive, I never felt like I am the only lady here, so that was because of my squadron and my instructors and all the people here, she said. A supportive and proud family helped her thrive through under all circumstances. She will be flying the Dornier surveillance aircraft of the Indian Navy. In 2016, the Indian Air Force enlisted women pilots for the first time and in May 2019, Flight Lieutenant Bhawana Kanth became the first woman pilot to qualify to undertake combat missions on a fighter jet. There are also two other women who are set to become navy pilots on December 21. Now that the glass ceiling has been shattered as far as the naval cockpit is concerned and the fragments have disappeared up in the air, does this mean more possibilities and opportunities for women who are willing to join the defence force? Today, #NavyDay2019 we celebrate this major milestone for #ladieswholead from the front and up in the air, as we make a wish for many more dreams to take off! . . . #ladieswholead #ladieswholeadindia #womenwhoinspire #womeninlead #womenpilots #womeninnavy #shivangi #womeninbusiness #womenempowerment #womeninspiration

  • Tongue in cheek humour. Preposterous gestures. Offensive remarks. Outright sexism. Exclusionary tactics. Absurd physical actions. Reprimanding behaviour, whether verbal or non-verbal, by our bosses at work. All of this is simply UNACCEPTABLE. There's a fine line that differentiates professionalism from inappropriateness and it's extremely important we identify the preemptive warning signs. Sometimes it’s still a distinction that’s difficult to articulate, and even harder to prove. Well, not until you decide to speak up and convey your discomfort. Communicate your issues to the POSH committee or HR of your organisation, or a female colleague if there isn't one. Please remember. What you choose to do at work and how you want to respond is YOUR CHOICE. Time to give the ones' who abuse their power - a refresher course. We got your back! . . . #ladieswholead #ladieswholeadindia #protectwomen #womenwhoinspire #womeninlead #womeninbusiness #sexism #womenissues #standup #speakup #protectionforwomen #youdoyou #harassmentatwork #verbalabuse #harassmentawareness #equalityforall #womenrightsmatter

  • It’s 9:15 in urban India and you think you’d be safe going home post work on your own, something you have done for the past year, using the same route. After all you are dressed “appropriately”, have your own vehicle and it’s still busy on the streets. You were wrong. And by proving you wrong, they proved a thousand year old patriarchy right. How can we work and shatter glass ceilings when we can’t even get home post work safely? #giveusbackoursafety . . #ladieswholead #ladieswholeadindia #expose #rape #murder #safetyofwomenatwork #sexualharassment #metoo #womenatwork #equalopportunity #priyankareddy

  • A Counselling Psychologist specializing in food and eating behaviours, @tara_mahadevan, talks about strengthening of the mind, for mental strength affects mental health. It's important to reflect upon your emotions and embrace them. Then comes the part of managing them and doing it consciously that eventually leads to a subconscious behaviour of sorts. Ultimately it all comes down to establishing healthy habits and choosing to devote your time and energy to self-improvement. . . . #ladieswholead #ladieswholeadindia #taramahadevan #thriveindia #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #womenwholead #womenempowerment #womenwhoinspire #womeninbusiness #mentalcare #wellnesscoach #stressmanagement #coachlife #eatingbehaviours #foodfreedom #selfcare

  • Dr. Vishakha Shivdasani, MBBS with a fellowship in nutrition, talks about the long term cumulative, medical effects of our counterintuitive stress coping methodolgies we have programmed and immunized ourselves to, over time. Here's the thing. Everybody is different, of course, but we are all guided by the 24-hour hormonal cycle referred to as the circadian clock. We mess with these cycles through bad lifestyle habits. For instance, let's talk about the consequences of having a cup of coffee in the middle of the day, something all of us have been guilty of as an everyday thing we do. We need to understand the reason behind wanting it at odd hours when our body is actually at its effectively best circadian rhythm and should be able to perform well without an external stimulant under normal circumstances, unless it is stemming out of lack of sleep, fatigue, insomnia, or other lifestyle factors. If that’s not the case, here's a thought to get us thinking! @doctorvee . . . #ladieswholead #ladieswholeadindia #thriveindia #malinisgirltribe #vishakashivdasani #stress #mentalhealth #lifestylehabits #womenwholead #meditation #womenwhoinspire #womenempowerment #empowerwomen #womeninbusiness #nutrition #immunity #mentalhealthawareness

  • By saying no to something, you're actually saying yes to something else. - Writer, Wellness and Yoga Specialist @natasha.pratap, asserts on the importance of saying NO. Focusing is about saying no. We're all wired to say yes in an attempt to please others. Since saying no can feel confrontational, we often say yes, at the expense of our performance and our health - both physical and mental. If you say yes and overtax yourself, your work and relationships will suffer, with no actual benefit coming out of it. It is a difficult and counterintuitive skill, but an imperative one to harness, at work and at home. . . . #ladieswholead #ladieswholeadindia #thriveindia #malinisgirltribe #natashapratap #yogaspecialist #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #womenwholead #womenwhoinspire #womenempowerment #empowerwomen #womeninbusiness #yoga #yogaformentalhealth

  • Lamya Arsiwala of Yoga House summarizes her journey of 5 years in the world of yoga. @pixielammy always wanted to help humans. She always had an idealist way of thinking and could understand emotions well. Her yoga mat became her healing ground right after her best friend passed away, about a decade ago. She inculcates traditional practices in her teaching methods and that’s what makes her stand out! Lamya says “I think everything begins and ends in self-care and self-love. Without it, one can create no value in their lives. The simple act of applying cream on your body is an act of self-care. It is, however, the intention with which you approach self-care. For instance - people care for their skin out of fear of ageing versus taking care of it as a way of showing ‘love’ to your body. That's where the difference lies. The voice in your head - is it critical or kind? Is it coming from fear or love? That is the right understanding of self-care! Her coaching adapts to every individual’s situation - from creating harmony in relationships, manifesting ideal careers, weight management to even sleep issues. She also conducts workshops in corporate settings and takes emotional empowerment sessions in private. One piece of advice that Lamya leaves us with - “Don’t sweat the small stuff – suffering lasts as long as you hold on to it.” For more, hit the link in the bio! If mental health and wellbeing is an equally important cause to you, join us on Wednesday, November 27, 5 - 7 pm IST, at the A Club (Lower Parel, Mumbai).
