My Son Had a Seizure at School | SuperMom SpotLight | Akhila Dev | Riddhi Deorah

I don't know what to do. I just heard one voice from the doctor. He is stopping breathing, and we need to put him on ventilator. But the baby in my lap, when I was feeding him, he touched my cheeks as if he's calling me back. Amma, I need you. I listened to her. Something made me think that my prayers were answering. Through her voice. I just want to thank Riddhi ma'am first. Thank you, ma'am. And before I start, I just wanted to ask, how many of you have felt in your life as a stranger to yourself? Following all the responsibilities, being a mother, being a wife, being a daughter-in-law. But when you see within, you don't even identify who you are. Thank you. So my life was going very good. I was working, I was loving my profession like anything, and I was having one child, my son. My husband was a loving and supporting husband. Everything was perfect. But then, since everything is settling in life, As parents, we think that, shall we have a second child, right? Yes. So, that was me. I was very happy with one child, but when my family was complete, everything was going smooth, we thought of having one more. So, that was a blessing. I got one more kid, my second son. But my profession side, I got very nice increment. I was, you know, got promotion. Everything was going perfect. I was like, wow, my life is now completely, you know, satisfied, and it is very much complete. You can see my picture with my son and husband. Life was fulfilling everything what I wanted. But three years back, something very uncertain happened. After I deliver my second baby, within three months, I just dropped my first son to the school, and after thirty minutes, I got phone call from my school, my son's school. Telling that he's not well. Then that phone call changed everything. I rushed to the hospital. I saw him in emergency. He was having a seizure, first episode of seizure. He never had any health problem until he was 4 and a half. Seeing him there, I didn't know what to do. I just heard one voice from the doctor. He is stopping breathing, and we need to put him on ventilator. I didn't know what to say as a mother. I was all alone in the hospital. I just prayed to God. I was always believing in Krishna. I said, doctor. You do whatever you can because more than me, you know what is best for my child at right now. I trusted that doctor. I saw Krishna in him. I just surrendered. Things were not easy. I quit my job because at that moment of time, as a mother, nothing mattered for me. How many of you resonate with me. When it comes to child, for a mother, we don't think twice, right? So I quit my job. Life was everything about ICU, hospital visits, and slowly I was not available for my second one. The guilt started building. I could not break myself into 2 halves. Hospital and house. I told my mom, please consider my second son as your child and take care of him, because my necessity in the hospital was more than that. There are days when I rushed from the hospital and come home to feed my second one. He was just 3 months old. And sometimes I could not make it. I'm sorry. He could have— he would have had this formula milk and slept. That was the biggest guilt I was carrying. But after 2 months of hospitalization, my son came back to me. I was happy. I was grateful that he came back of ICU. He came back to home. But he didn't realize or recognize me. I was seeing him, but he was not seeing at me. No eye-to-eye contact. He didn't recognize me. As a mother, it was a big, big heartbreak for me. I used to look at me— look at him, but there's no response from him. He lost every milestone what he achieved in that 4 years. Memory, speech, physical strength, mental capability. Slowly in this journey, quitting was easy for me. I didn't have any thought. I just quit my job. I said, I'm not coming because I need to be there for my son. But in this journey, slowly, I was losing myself. I stopped going out, no gathering, no travels. I don't even used to pick anybody's call. I didn't want to leave that hospital moments again because everyone who used to call me used to ask about all these things. And whenever I'm explaining all this thing to them, I was leaving that, reliving that life. So I shut down from everyone. Even from my husband, I didn't. I was not there for him as a wife. I was not talking to him as well. I stopped buying clothes. I stopped buying sandals. You know, I even stopped buying sunscreen for myself, thinking that I'm not going anywhere out. Why do I need it? How many of you resonate with this? After you become mother, you sacrifice so much. I was not at all was there on my priority list, and I thought that it is normal, right? But I was not okay from within. One day I was feeding my three months old, and I was completely lost in my thoughts. medicines, therapy, what consultation, when I need to take. I was thinking that. But the baby in my lap, when I was feeding him, he touched my cheeks as if he's calling me back. Amma, I need you. That was my point where I thought that I'm not this mother. I can't be like this. I have to be there for both of my kids with my full energy. Right, so then I sat in front of Krishna. From my childhood, I love him as my friend, my mentor, you know, as my lover. Everything he's there for me throughout my life. And I cried and cried and cried, and I said, what are you going to do with my life? Why have you chosen this life for me? What are you teaching? To me from all these experiences, and I didn't know where to go. I reached out to many friends. They said so many things, but I could not come out of my you know that struggles. Then something magic happened. The very next day, nobody will believe. The very next day, I cried in tent of Krishna. I saw Riddhi ma'am's ad on Instagram. I was never, never Instagram or Facebook person. Zero social media I was using. And with all these conditions, I was never a social media person. I don't know how she came. It was Krishna's plan. How many of you resonate this, right? Yes. So I cried. I enrolled for the master class. I listened to her. Something made me think that my prayers were answering through her voice. Krishna was pulling me towards her side. So I joined her masterclass without second thought. I joined her gold membership. Initially, nothing changed. I was reading her, I was doing her courses, I was attending all her calls. I never used to miss one call also. Slowly I started learning self-care, child connection, family connection. I could see the shift, right? Then in one Inner Circle call, I raised my hand and I said, ma'am, I'm doing everything, I'm not okay. I was crying all the— all over the call, in the Inner Circle call. She heard me very quietly and she said, Akhila, Every day, get ready and go out for five minutes. I just surrendered. I just listened what she said. I did for that next fifteen days. Then I got this smile on my face, and it never faded till date. It is always there. So, and slowly I could. Shift. I didn't want it to go out of this community. How many of you in gold don't want to leave, Riddhi ma'am? Right? I wanted more, more, more. The more energy I get from her, the more I wanted her. I told my husband, I want platinum. He fought with me for paying five thousand for gold. Right? I told I'd want it, and he told you figure it out how you're going to get the money. So I, I just got blessed there also. I got my gratuity amount, I just paid to her. I didn't think anything else because I worked for 5 years in the same company. So then this happened. I joined Platinum. Within 3 months, I completed Super Family Award checklist. My mentor, with her, my first pic. On that day, I decided next time when I meet her, I'll be on the stage. So this is what I, uh, progressed. And this is something secret I want to share with you. When my mentor became my inner voice. One day when I was reading all these Platinum courses, I used to read— I used to watch her course when I'm taking bath, when I'm chopping vegetables, when I'm— my kids, I make them sleep around 11 o'clock, I'll sit and watch her courses. So I was doing all this. We had a fight, my husband and me. Then, uh, I was very angry because there was no mistake from my side, but he was getting angry on me. I just went and slept. I tried to sleep. He was also sleeping next to me. I didn't want to talk to him. I was so angry. I tried sleeping. I could not. Guess what had happened? What? I was sleeping. I was trying to sleep, but Riddhi ma'am voice. Nobody will end their day with anger. Remember? I could not sleep. I was never that person, you know, with so much of ego. If my not my mistake, I never used to apologize. But that day I did. I turned toward him. He was turning that side. He didn't want to talk to me. I said, "I'm sorry." He just looked into my eyes and he hugged me so tight. And that day, from that day, my mentor is my inner voice. Whenever I'm in some situation, whenever there is something which, which is pulling me back, I always hear her voice inside me. How many of you hear this voice inside you? Many times. Yes, once you scream To your child, don't scream. She will be saying, "Ungli nahi utana hai," right? So always any situation, I get her voice. So she become my inner voice, and she's guiding me throughout every millisecond of my day. Magical. Yes. So now, as I look back today, and I want to share one more thing. This is one thing. Then one day in the Platinum call, she told, you don't have to have learned so many new skills, right? Parenting certificate you have to get, life coaching certificate you have to get. She told, close your eyes for some time. Some mother was asking some question in the Platinum call, and she asked, just close your eyes and think what you already know. In that meditation, for me, I got shloka as an answer. Without afternoon 3 o'clock her call, 6 o'clock I made poster and I posted in the Instagram, Facebook, every status. My husband was in office, he called me, what are you up to? I said, I want to do it. Do you think this generation kids will learn shloka? Whatever it is, I'm sending you the poster, put it on your status. So I started shloka class last October. I have completed seven batches of sloka classes till now for the kids. Thank you so much. And then adults also came. I completed one adult sloka class. So one call, one message from ma'am. I took new initiative. So D W I T. Whatever she says, please do whatever it takes. Then next thing is, I didn't rebuild myself like this. When Mission Connection call used to happen, I used to connect with mothers from the gold till now. Every call I connected with mother, somebody used to tell me their story. I used to share them my story. Some people said, You have gone through so much, more power to you. That more power to you was building me one step at a time. Some people used to say— some people's pain was more than me, some people's pain was less than me, but we were there for each other during each Mission Call, Connection Calls, to hold each other, to build each other, to, you know, give that strength to each and every mother in the community, right? I just love the Mission Connection call. I do as much as possible connections every day. Next thing is, after this all shloka classes, but I was still, you know, I was just admiring her. She always gives us energy. Now I started my coaching journey as well as a parenting and emotional wellness coach. I have my Resilience Circle with me. I have not started monetizing, but I can see that seed is already there in the mud. Roots are growing up. Nothing is visible now, but I know that roots are growing stronger and stronger and stronger every day. Hi. This is my son and 3-month-old baby. Now they are there, cute little ones. Resilience is not built overnight. Strength will not come overnight. It is built with one step, one decision, one action at a time. How many of you agree? Thank you. So 3 lessons. I already said so many lessons, but still, 3 lessons I love about Easy Parenting Hub. It helped me to find myself again. This is the most, most important thing. I was a stranger for myself. Now I am at my top priority list. How many of you want to be at the top of your priority list? Thank you. It gave me a safe community. I can share anything. I have shared to some mothers which my family also don't know about me. So it is so safe space, non-judgmental. I just love connecting with mothers. It inspired me to grow beyond my challenges, my struggles. So if today I am here smiling at you, probably if I would have not Joined Easy Parenting Hub. I don't know whether I would have been alive today. I was so broken, but today I'm here thanks to Riddhi ma'am, thanks to Krishna that it it gave me all the platform to grow and rebuild myself. So three power pills: Believe in yourself. Never ever think that. you can't do anything. Life put me into so many struggles, so many challenges. It was drowning me like anything, but we all have that power within us to again bloom back. Yes? Yes. Uncertainty in life will give you a new purpose. I never thought I'll be teaching shloka or I'll become a coach any day. But my life uncertainty brought me into this new purpose, and it is so beautiful that I'm just loving it. Rebuild yourself. Whatever season you are in your life, you always have that second chance to rebuild yourself. 3 things I like about Mentor— I can't What to say, reduce it to 3 things. I have so many things which I love about her, but still, she leads with compassion. Just now my heart was beating so fast, I need to come on the stage. Just one hug from her was enough to calm me. Then she empowers through simple actions. How many of you think Mission All mission activities are so simple that doable, but you have major impact, major shifts in your life, right? Yes. Then she inspires by living her mission. Whenever she was— she used to tell how she was and how she came back, I used to think that she is there for her mission, I should always be there for her mission as well. Right? As a mother, it's not about Riddhi ma'am, Easy Community, Easy Parenting Hub, right? She always tells it's about us. So we always have to be there for our own mission. And 3 things I like about EPH is, as I said, it's a non-judgmental space. Here in this room, there are some mothers who know my top secrets which my husband don't know. Support and network all over the world. How many of you feel if you go to some place, still you find some Easy Parenting Hub mother and they will welcome you to their house, right? And everything under one roof. You name it, she has it. How many of you agree? You want to become a coach, she has. You want to become a mandala art, she'll help you. You want to become a healer, she'll help you. Everything under roof you don't get anywhere else, only in EPH, and I just love about it. Yes, thank you so much for hearing me. I'm so, so grateful for this community, for my mentor, and to Krishna. Wow. Love you, Mom. Love you.
