BEAUTIFULLY UNITED. . Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicked off two weeks ago and I've been quieter than I have in any other year. . This year, this month has hit harder than ever before. The loss of a friend, then the loss of a parent has had my world crumbling. . But, amidst the chaos came one beautiful night. A night celebrating our second year as @esteelaudercompanies UK&I Breast Cancer Awareness Ambassadors, what an honour it is to hold this title. . This month marks ten years since I began treatment for Breast Cancer. Ten years since undergoing fertility preservation and ten years of wanting to bring change into this space. . Before my diagnosis, I never self checked my breasts. Before my diagnosis, I had never heard anyone in my community speak of Breast Cancer. Before and during the early years of my diagnosis I felt the weight of shame and stigma. . Together with my incredible Ambassador family, we are individually focussed on improving outcomes for our own communities but together, we are beautifully united in one common goal. To reduce the number of lives lost to this disease. . Thank you @esteelaudercompanies for having faith in my work. Thank you @elizabethhurley1 for your humility and support. Thank you @leanneperoofficial and @iamlaurenmahon for inspiring me to take my seat at the table. Thank you @drzoewilliams for educating so many women out there on their breast health, and for being an incredible friend. . I am so in love with this phase of my work and my life. So damn proud to be a South Asian woman advocating for her sisters, proud of the family and friends who stand by me and proud of every member of @southasiansupernovas . . The lyrics of this song translate to acknowledge how rivers & roads may change course, how the seasons will change and how life may take a new path....they felt so resonant as I enter year 2 of leaving accountancy to follow my passion. Thank you Estee Lauder Companies for helping make that happen. . Love always K 💖💖💖 . #Ad #Breastcancerawareness #BCAM #breastcancerawarenessmonth #secondarybreastcancer #stagefourdeservesmore #browngirlsgetcancertoo Outfit #Gifted @monalisasarees Earings gifted @pareejewels

A MILLION DREAMS. . These lyrics could have been written for me, for the adversity we would overcome, the glass ceilings we would smash. The miracles we would create. . For the World that we have made. . One year of my family being home. . 💙💙💙💖 K x. . They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy They can say, they can say I've lost my mind I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy We can live in a world that we design 'Cause every night I lie in bed The brightest colours fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it's gonna take Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make. @maxicosi_eu #mymaxicosi . . #amazingfamilies #amilliondreams #mumsofinstagram #indianmumsofinstagram #makemotherhooddiverse #surrogacyrocks #infertilityawareness #motherhoodaftercancer #cancerandfertility #heartdiseaseandfertility #happilyeverafter #makingmiracles #dreamscometrue #donorconception #deivf #inspiringfamily #mumfluencer #mircoinfluencer #discoverunder10k

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FAMILIES. Families are built in so many different ways. I never imagined having to face the roadblocks and diversions that we faced when it came to growing our family, but it was something that we had no control over. Courage, surrender, grief and acceptance became life lessons that supported the most incredible path to parenthood. None of it easy, all of it necessary. Tomorrow, I'll be @thefertilityshow sharing our story and supporting those who are still navigating the complexity of infertility, surrogacy and donor conception. You can find me on the Surrogacy Unpacked panel at 10.30am and then at midday I'll be sharing my keynote in the Lets All Talk Fertility Lounge. Final tickets are linked in my stories. I can't wait to see you there. With Love, K x #infertilityawareness #motherhoodredefined #internationaldayoffamilies

THE SHOW 2026 Every 10 minutes 1 woman in the UK is diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Everyday 31 women in the UK die from the disease. Breast cancer remains the largest killer of working aged women. More research, awareness and inclusion into Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer care is absolutely vital. And that's why nights like last night are so important. To remind us of the the work that has been done, but to focus us on the work that still needs to be done. The priority to do more for stage 4 is a huge yet essential one. For every single person I have loved and lost to Stage 4 Breast Cancer, I promise we will ensure that this priority remains front and centre . I have very few words to articulate just how grateful I am to be alive and to get to support and witness this work. Breast Cancer Now, Until Breast Cancer Never. 💖💖💖💖 K x

EIGHT YEARS OF AMAZING AMAALA 💖🌈 Eight years ago, you arrived and changed everything. There are no words big enough to capture what welcoming you into this world meant to me. You were our miracle girl, created during some of the darkest days of our lives, and somehow your light waited patiently until our hearts and home were ready to receive it. I will forever be grateful that I get to be your Mama, and endlessly thankful to @im_pretty_delicious_ for carrying you safely into our lives. The years have flown by. My tiny newborn is now a smart, funny, strong and beautifully sassy eight-year-old. Amaala, you are one of the kindest souls I know. You are full of love, joy and warmth, and your bright spirit lights up every room you walk into. I hope you always hold on to that magic. Thank you for the endless jokes, the wild dancing, the koala cuddles, the bedtime snuggles, and for making ordinary days feel extraordinary. It is the greatest honour of my life to walk beside you as your Mummy, and I pray I get to do so for many, many years to come. Happy 8th Birthday for Monday, my angel. Love always, Mummy 💖🌈💖🌈

DONOR CONCEPTION AWARENESS DAY 5 years of being a Mummy to my beautiful donor conceived children and the advice I would give to my younger self would be: 1. Will I Find a Donor - You'll search high and low, explore many options and eventually you'll find your perfect donor. 2. Will I Meet my Donor - You'll put all ypur faith in known international egg donation. It scares you deeply but works out better than you could ever imagine. 3. Will I Love Them Enough - They'll be your greatest teacher and reminder that LOVE transcends every single fear. 4. What if I Don't Bond with Them - You'll be bound together by a bond so perfect and so beautiful. 5. Will My Community Accept Donor Conception - You'll break glass ceilings, and inspire others to follow this path towards their babies. Your community will welcome you all with open arms. 6. How Will They Know I'm Their Mummy - In the same way that the planet knows its season. Instinctively. For anyone starting out on this path, follow your heart, it will lead you to where you belong. With Love, K xx #donorconception #donorconceptionawarenessday #eggdonation #donorconceivedchildren #triplets

MEMORIES 💚 Long train journeys and photo memories popping up on my phone are a dangerous combination. They send me down a rabbit hole of gratitude, crying big old tears, and saying quiet thank yous for every roadblock, every delay, every diversion that somehow led me exactly where I was meant to be. Amaala turns 8 in a few days, and this birthday feels like such a milestone for our family. She was the light we were gifted after so much hurt, longing and adversity. When the world told me I would never be a Mum, she broke every glass cieling that tried to crush me. Motherhood is precious. It opens our hearts in ways we could never imagine. But motherhood after infertility… it just hits differently. And right now, I’m feeling all of it. I truly don’t know where the last eight years have gone. I blinked, and somehow time ran ahead of me. But the little videos in my memories today had me smiling from ear to ear. What a privilege it is to be her Mummy. What a gift she is. And what wisdom she has brought into the world simply by being herself. So, two little reminders for anyone who needs them today: 1. Never let anyone tell you what is or isn’t possible. That vision belongs to you. If you believe in it deeply enough, keep going. 2. Take the photos. Take the videos. Capture the moments. People always tell me I’m annoying with my camera, that I record too many videos, that my cliud storage will bankrupt me 🤣. But I'm all cool with that because I don’t do it for validation. I do it for love. For memories. For the proof that joy lived here. One day, this photo album will become my childrens comfort blanket. So keep clicking. Keep capturing the essence of life. And yes, I know my content is gloriously random. Part Mumfluencer. Part Health Advocate. Part Activist. Part midlife woman trying to spin all the plates without dropping herself in the process. Thank you for being here. Thank you for the love you pour into this space. Thank you for being the kind of community every girl dreams of finding. Now… time to get home and start my girl’s birthday weekend 💖. Have a gorgeous weekend team. Love & Light, K 💖

ALLYSHIP MATTERS Earlier this week I had the absolute honour of attending an intimate evening hosted by my friend and fellow @esteelaudercompanies Ambassador @drzoewilliams . An evening for medical professionals, for sharing lived experiences and helping them to understand how they can better serve their patients. During my own journey I was gaslit and left broken time and time again. So much of my fire and drive to close the cancer care gap comes from that lived experience and the knowing that cancer care simply is not fair in the UK, and the quality of care you receive varies drastically based on who you are and where you live. I had to fight to be referred to a breast unit. I had to go to an appeal to get my fertility preservation funded. I had to buy my own wigs because there were no suitable NHS options and I had to wear a prosthesis made for white skin for over 2 years. More worryingly, my heart failure symptoms went unnoticed, and the door to Motherhood was closed on me. Thank GOD I've always been the girl who got told off for being 'TOO MUCH'. Because being too much got me diagnosed, being too much got me funded, being too much paved the way to my four incredible babies. I've often been in rooms where the patients voice is nice to have, but if it raises discomfort amongst health care professionals, it's shut down and not listended to. Thats why this evening was so special, because the Doctors in the room chose to be there, they chose to make space to hear and learn more. A huge shout out to every medic who took time to speak with me and @leanneperoofficial , to understand the barriers our communities face and who pledged to take their learnings back to the workplace, please do share. Your allyship is all we ask for. Thank you so much to @salihacooks for a beautiful nourishing meals, and to @florencemorganevents for the beautiful stage for the night. Together we can be beautifully united in our mission to ensure that there's one less lonely girl in this complex and lonely world. With Love, K xxx #faircancercare #closethecancercaregap #beautifullyunited

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW 💚! Most people know me as a Speaker, Campaigner or Advocate, but before ill health crossed my path, I worked in Finance. I've spent over 20 years honing that craft, I've worked across different sectors and have some brilliant experiences on my CV. When my triplets were born, I arrived at a crossroad. Pause my career to raise my babies, or continue in the corporate space. In what was quite possibly one of the bravest moves in my life, I followed my heart and went with the former. And it was the best decision I ever made. For three years I focussed on my family, I worked at building my speaker profile. I set up organisations to close cancer care gaps, and improve representation on alternate paths to parenthood. I became an ambassador, worked alongside some amazing brands and took time to really understand where my passion and purpose live. Last year, at @shivani.pau goalsetting workshop, one of my standout goals was to find alignment in my work. I knew I would re-enter my profession, but it had to be with heart and soul. I still loved finance, but I wanted finance with purpose. And from that point I worked really hard to find the perfect fit. My vision board was built, my affirmations written and my sleeves rolled up for some hard work. And today, I start my DREAM JOB as Head of Finance - Social Investments for Macmillan Cancer Support. Over the past decade I've worked so closely with @macmillancancer , I've helped write materials, recorded my podcast thanks to them, run the most powerful community conversation, spoken at conferences, shared at the Open House, previewed Ad Campaigns and so much more. The alignent of this position is truly divine 🙏🏽💫. I can not wait marry my profession with my purpose. To support the mission for Fair Cancer Care. The nerves are certainly here, but that's because I care about this role, this work, this organisation and the people and communties we serve, so so much. Quite possibly the proudest day of my accounting career so far! Wish me luck team! With Love, K xxx

THE LAYERS OF GRIEF The grief I didn't see coming, was the grief that I experience on their behalf. The sadness that they won't know my Mum, her love, her affection in the physical realm. The hurt that they won't experience that - undistracted, unconditional, unexpectational kind of love that only your grandparent can bring. The love and presence of a safe space. The lessons that only come from wisdom. The connection that in my own life was so so sacred. I've randomly had a few conversations about grandparents this week. A few with friends who couldn't spin all their plates without their Mum's present and a couple with grandmothers, who share the joys of parenting their grandchildren without the life stresses or concerns of parenting their own children. Each of those conversations gave rise to my grief, they forced me to stop, to feel the loss and acknowledge the reality that my Mum and my children will never know those experiences. Of course I still grieve her, and whilst I know she is here energetically, the desire to feel her arms around me in this physical world, will probably never leave me. But beyond my grief, is a grief I hold for my babies. Everytime they see a rainbow or look to the sky and call her name I feel such joy at their connection yet such heartbreak at her absence. My Mums dream was always to help with school runs and take my children to the park for playtime and treats. It's what she always said she was living for. I hate that none of them got to experience that, and I wish that my heart didn't ache everytime I see a young child with their grandparent, wishing our story could have been different. So if like me, your grief is ever evolving, I see and feel you. This really is the highest price you pay for love. 💙💙💙💖 K xx. #grief #motheringmotherless #imissyoumum
