Here is an example of a woman who truly is living her life on her terms! So inspirational! And kudos to her very supportive husband!

I loved how supportive her husband has been! They truly are a power couple. And what’s wrong with being a house husband??! I’m glad Komal and her husband didn't care about others’ opinions. Komal, if you're reading this, remember what Taylor Swift said: "People throw rocks at things that shine." More power to you and your beautiful family!

It's great to hear about a woman who has achieved so much in both her career and personal life. I'm sure Komal's story will be encouraging to many mothers like us!
