Q: How did you become interested in becoming a Life Reset & Confidence Coach?

AK:  Honestly, it all started with my own breakdown. On paper, I had everything you’re told to want the house, the marriage, the career, the picture-perfect life. But inside, I was completely disconnected. When it all fell apart, I packed my bags, travelled solo, learnt to trust myself again, rebuilt my life, and slowly realized this: the greatest reset doesn’t come from ticking society’s boxes, it comes from choosing yourself. That journey became the foundation for what I do now, helping other women find themselves again after everything they thought they were supposed to be no longer fits.

Q: What are some of the most challenging aspects of coaching women post-divorce or during major transitions?

AK: The biggest challenge is helping women remember they’re not broken even when life feels like it’s completely fallen apart. Society teaches us to define our worth by the roles we play the wife, the mother, the achiever. When those roles suddenly shift or disappear, it can feel like losing your identity. I remind my clients that they’re not starting from zero; they’re starting from experience, strength, and truth. There’s incredible power in that moment when a woman realizes she’s not lost; she’s just being invited to meet herself again.

Q: How do you personally face fear and uncertainty?

AK: Now I’ve learned to embrace fear instead of running from it. When it shows up, I see it as a sign that I’m growing and stretching into something new. One of the scariest things I ever did was leave my old life behind with nothing but a suitcase and faith. That experience taught me that fear doesn’t mean stop, it means you’re stepping into expansion. It’s something I teach my clients too: face the unknown, do the thing that challenges you today, and trust that every brave step forward builds the confidence you’re searching for.

Q: Do you believe starting over gets harder as we get older?

AK: I think it can definitely feel scarier, because by your 30s or 40s, you’ve built an identity around who you think you’re supposed to be. You’ve invested time, energy, and emotion into a version of life that maybe once felt right but doesn’t anymore. So, when change calls, it can feel like losing control or letting go of everything you’ve built. But the truth is, starting over is always available. The bravest thing I’ve learned, and what I remind my clients, is that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. You are allowed to evolve, to want more, and to choose differently at any stage of life. In fact, the more life you’ve lived, the more wisdom you bring to your next chapter.

Q: What advice would you give someone who feels stuck or afraid of what’s next?

AK:  Start small. When everything feels uncertain, the idea of making big changes can feel overwhelming, so focus on what you can do today. Sit in silence for five minutes. Write down the thoughts you’d never say out loud. Ask yourself honestly, If I wasn’t trying to please anyone, what would I choose? That’s usually where the truth begins to whisper. From there, take one small action that supports that answer. It doesn’t have to be perfect or dramatic; it just must be yours. And please, don’t try to do it all alone. Reach out for support, whether that’s a coach, a friend, or someone who believes in you when you’re struggling to believe in yourself. The first step to change isn’t confidence, its courage, and that’s something you already have within you.

Q: What is one word of advice you can offer to young women who want to reach your level of success?

AK: Find what you love and follow it unapologetically. Ask yourself what lights you up, what comes naturally to you, and build from there. Then find someone who’s already doing it and learn from them. I wish someone had told me that earlier in my life. I spent too long doing what I thought I should do instead of what I was truly meant for. The moment I stopped playing it safe and started listening to my own instincts, everything changed.

Q: At the start of your career, what do you wish you had known?

AK: That persistence really is the secret. Keep showing up, even when it feels like no one’s noticing. Keep being yourself, even when social media gets loud and comparison tries to creep in. Your voice matters, your work matters, and it will pay off, just not always on your timeline. I wish I had known that growth often happens quietly, behind the scenes, before the world ever sees the results. There were so many times I doubted myself or questioned if it was working, but now I can see that every post, every connection, every tiny step forward was building something bigger. Consistency and faith will take you further than perfection ever could.

Q: Which woman inspires you and why?

AK: Right now, Mel Robbins really inspires me. She’s raw, real, and refreshingly honest. She says what most people are too scared to say, and she does it with compassion and humanity. I love that she shows up exactly as she is, without the filters or the need to appear perfect, and that kind of authenticity is rare. She connects deeply with her community, she listens, she engages, and she always finds time to support others even with her incredible success. She reminds me that you can be both powerful and kind, strong and soft, and that real leadership is about lifting people as you rise.

Q: What advice would you give to young women who want to pursue their dream and start a business?

AK: Just start. Truly, everything changes the moment you do. It’s not about having it all figured out, it’s about building momentum through action. Once you take that first brave step, the rest begins to unfold. Having something that’s yours, something no one can take away, is one of the most empowering feelings in the world. I’ve worked for others, and I’ve built my own business, and nothing compares to the freedom of creating a life on your own terms. It’s not always easy, but it’s deeply fulfilling. Start where you are, even if it’s just in your spare time. Be willing to learn, adapt, and grow. And most importantly, show the universe you’re ready because once you do, opportunities will start meeting you halfway.

Q: After high school, where did you feel your career path would take you?

AK: I always knew I wanted to work in travel. I was fascinated by the idea of seeing the world and helping others do the same. I became a corporate travel consultant and loved every second of it the buzz of planning trips, finding the perfect routes, and creating experiences that helped people step outside their everyday lives. That sense of curiosity and adventure has always been in me. Now I live in a tropical country and wake up to sunshine, sea views, and a life I once only dreamed about. I never expected my path to twist and turn the way it has, but looking back, I can see that travel was always part of my soul’s blueprint. It taught me how to trust the unknown, to explore not just new places, but new versions of myself.

Q: Can you tell us how you manage your work-life balance?

AK: For me, balance is all about intention. I start my mornings slowly, taking time to journal, move my body, and set my priorities for the day. I believe the energy you begin with shapes everything that follows, so I try to create space to feel grounded before I step into work mode. Surfing and yoga are my reset buttons they remind me to breathe, stay present, and keep perspective. I also make sure to schedule proper downtime because rest is not a reward, it’s a necessity. It’s in those quiet moments, when I fully switch off, that the best ideas and the deepest clarity always find me.
