What do you do in moments of despair?

When life has you down and beaten, hopeless and dejected. You hit rock bottom, the pain pins you to the ground and crushes your spirit. Each setback striking another blow to fragile feelings of doubt and dread.

We’ve all been there, in the lowest of lows. Through dark days when nothing seems to go right, with no sense of purpose in sight. Questioning everything from our worth to the fairness of the universe.

When everything you hold dear is taken away from you, how do you pick yourself up, dust off, and discover who you are?

Do you cling to what you know or seek wisdom in spirituality? What does this journey of growth look like and how do you make it your own?

CoFounder and Managing Partner of Mātiti Group and Mrs. UAE International, @CharulCJaitly shares her heartbreaking story of infertility, personal struggles with IVF treatment, deteriorating health, spiritual reawakening, overcoming challenges, gradual recovery and winning against all odds.

In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Charul and @shreyaghodawat dwell on the importance of defining your own happy, investing time in the self, the evolution of identity, seeing ‘Eye to Eye with I’, connecting the dots between tech and sustainability, the role of AI for a green future, advocating for girl child education, collective consciousness, mental health and mindset shifts, balancing ambition and internal growth, finding support and community, and enabling change through dialogue.
