Today we’d like to introduce you to Bhavana
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I have always been creative since childhood and have a flair for anything related to art . So, It all began with a simple desire to share my art and paintings ,along with moments and experiences that shaped my everyday life which includes my daily outfits and routines .Also ,its always been good to take break from my mundane 9-5 job as a software professional and get creative .What started as an outlet for personal inspiration quickly evolved into a creative space where I could connect to others with similar interests in art , wellness , self-care , outfits and fashion .
Over time ,with my voice , I focused on being my authentic self and built a community that resonates with my values of positivity and balance . My content got recognized by many and it helped me participate in few fashion events and photoshoots that gave me abundant confidence and more recognition . Gradually , I collaborated with small businesses and that helped with creating more fruitful content which reflected my personal growth as a content creator .Overtime I dint realize when I became this woman influenzing people with my daily choices and lifestyle . What motivated me is the audience who have supported me come so far with their messages , and comments when they meet me or walk upto me to tell me how I have inspired them in some way or the other . Sometimes it may not be in words but their actions have been encouraging .
In the long run I would like to empower Women to be more confident in their skin and to take care of their mental and emotional well-being in this fast paced life where we are expected to juggle multiple responsibilities . At the end of the day accepting your true self and your roots helps you stand out and makes you unique
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the main challenges in my initial days has been to carve my niche especially when I was focussing on both – art and fashion . For me since my profession is no way close to what I post on Social Media its been a challenge to keep a balance . So my everyday goes in scheduling , and prioritizing my tasks for the day .
As someone with a family life and career , Time management has always been my challenge . Apart from this , I believe its the ever changing Social Media algorithms and tools that I need to adapt to make sure my content has good reach and visibility
Also Generating sustainable income from content can be difficult so I had to diversify in terms of content I create .
My biggest cheerleaders have been my Husband , Daughter and Mom who have kept me grounded and help me prioritize and give me creative space to grow . And of course. , few friends like family have always been kind with their constructive. feedback
