In that moment, I paused the entrepreneur in me and became \u2018Mom\u2019, complete with stuffed toys and silly voices.\u201d<br \/>She went on to reflect how her perspective has evolved over the years. \u201cA few years ago, I would\u2019ve stressed about choosing one over the other. Today I\u2019ve learned that being a mother makes me a better founder.\u201d<br \/>According to her, the experiences of parenting often fuel her entrepreneurial instincts. \u201cStorytime taught me patience and creativity, which I carry into the boardroom. And being an entrepreneur taught me problem-solving \u2013 handy when you\u2019re figuring out how to get a toddler to sleep!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the complexity of her dual responsibilities, Ghazal emphasized the importance of having a strong support system. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, we can wear multiple hats, just not always alone. I\u2019ve built a support system (family, team, co-founder) that allows me to be present where I\u2019m needed most, when I\u2019m needed most.\u201d<br \/>Addressing fellow working parents, she concluded with an empowering message: \u201cTo all the parent-preneurs out there: you\u2019re not \u2018balancing\u2019 two lives, you\u2019re living one rich, crazy, beautiful life. Embrace it, ask for help, and remember: the skills you gain in one role can be superpowers in the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her message resonates with countless working parents striving to find harmony between personal and professional worlds.<br \/>When Shark Tank India judge and <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/mamaearth\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mamaearth<\/a> co-founder Ghazal Alagh stepped into her first leadership role, she wasn\u2019t just a young entrepreneur\u2014she was also a new mom.
