Rebuilding Your Life After Motherhood | Balvinder Sidhu | HON EP25

What happens when a woman decides she’s done playing small in her life, her career, and her story?

In this episode of Her Own Narrative, journalist and media entrepreneur Balvinder Sidhu opens up about the lessons that shaped her from losing her father at eight and watching her mother raise five daughters alone, to carving her space in a competitive media world.

She shares how mediocrity becomes the default when we aren’t surrounded by people who challenge us to rise and what it truly means to step into your own potential.

✨ This episode is for:

Women trying to balance ambition and motherhood without guilt
Those navigating loss, identity, and self-worth
Anyone ready to move from “playing safe” to owning their power
This conversation is a reminder that fulfillment isn’t found in perfection it’s in presence.

Whether she’s hosting her dinner parties or leading her company, Balvinder’s story shows us what it means to build a life that feels whole.
