This Mom Brings Living A Vibrant Life To A New Level

Our Pepperlane Community is made wonderful by the mom entrepreneurs who feel empowered to define their own rules, claim financial independence, and embrace both motherhood and entrepreneurship.

We are absolutely inspired by our community. Their determination, strength, courage, vulnerability and willingness to collaborate with each other gives us the willpower continue to shift the longstanding societal narrative that says mothers can't or shouldn't start a business.

To further demonstrate that motherhood cultivates the robust skillset needed to run a business and that moms can be entrepreneurs (with style and grace) we are starting a new series called "Meet Our Members" (MOM for short) where we highlight one phenomenal mom entrepreneur from our Pepperlane community.

Our first mama in the spotlight is certified Life Coach and Licensed Psychotherapist, Padma Ali. Padma is the mother to two beautiful kids, loves reading, learning, and helping her clients discover inner alignment. We're happy to meet you Padma!

“The resilience that mom entrepreneurs have is seriously amazing. I have seen momprenuers go after what they believe in. It so incredible to be a part of this movement.” Padma Ali.

Who are you, what do you do and why?

My name is Padma Ali and I coach C Suite Leaders to unlock their highest potential to impact the world. Using a combination of Neuropsychology and Ancient practices, I guide my clients to re-discover who they truly are and leverage the uniqueness that they bring to the world.

I love doing the work I do because I love seeing the amazing ripple effect it has with all the people my clients come in contact with.

What did you want to be when you were a child?

There is a funny answer to this - I always imagined singing on stage when I was a child with a large audience. It's funny because I am influencing a large number of people through my voice but not through singing. LOL.

What inspired you to start your business?

I have a vision to impact thousands of people. I get to do this by impacting influencers. I am so grateful to be on this path.

What's one thing you wish you would have known when starting your business?

I wish I had more trust in the process.

At Pepperlane, we promote the idea that motherhood is good for business. What's one transferable skill from being a mom that has helped you in business?

Ah, this is a good one. So many skills are transferable. The one skill is taking rest when tired instead of pushing through. Self care as a mom is so important.

What's your favorite part about the Pepperlane community?

I LOVE the Pepperlane community. Being a solopreneur can be lonely. The Pepperlane community is such a great resource to get the support you want. It's an amazing community to get support, to give support and to be a part of a huge movement that Pepperlane is committed to.

What characteristic do you admire in other mom entrepreneurs?

The resilience that mom entrepreneurs have is seriously amazing. I have seen momprenuers go after what they believe in. It so incredible to be a part of this movement.

What can we help you celebrate?

I am so excited about my podcast "Create Your Vibrant Life". I just started it a few months ago and it's taken off like wildfire. I am humbled by the response I have gotten. You can find it where ever you listen to podcasts. Please do subscribe and leave a review if it appeals to you.
