Thejaswi Nayak is currently working as an Accounts Manager at an IT firm. She also actively posts content on mental health, motherhood, fitness and lifestyle on Instagram and Facebook. She is a single mother.
Thejaswi was born in Mangalore and completed her Bachelor of Engineering there. Later she moved to Bangalore for her job. Whilst working in Bangalore she happened to meet someone at her workplace. They both tied the knot together. But within eleven months of their marriage her husband passed away. She was pregnant at that time. It was a very traumatic and tragic period for her. But she made the decision to continue with her pregnancy and become a single mother, says Thejaswi.
Thejaswi says that she also had to face skepticism from the people. As she was young and people doubted she really wanted to be a single mother. But something within her made her take this bold decision.
Thejaswi shares that motherhood is the most satisfying thing in the world. But motherhood is merely a choice and not a compulsion. Being a mother is the best decision a woman will ever make. Motherhood has taught her a lot. It has made her a better human being. It has taught her love, compassion and care.
Recounting her childhood, Thejaswi shares that her childhood was a mixed bag of both good and bad memories. She lost her father when she was only sixteen-year-old. It turned things upside down for her.
Thejaswi says that during COVID, being a single mother, parenting her child was a little challenging for her. As she had to manage everything by herself. But now she has become accustomed to it and it’s going well for her.
Thejaswi considers her mother her biggest inspiration and role model. After her father passed away her mother had to go through a lot of turmoil but she remained strong enough and faced the things.
Thejaswi shares her experience of being a single mother on social media. She also interacts with the single mothers who have lost their spouses and counsels them about their mental health issues and extends help to them to the best of her capacity.
Thejaswi believes that education is required to get into corporate jobs. But once you get into a job it’s the skills and the experience that you gather matter the most. And in personal life if you learn from your day to day experiences and inculcate those values in your life then you can have a better personal life.
Thejaswi is a trained classical dancer. During her leisure time she likes to dance, sing and cook. She also likes to write and actively writes on mental health issues.
Thejaswi’s success mantra is to never give up in the first place. Success doesn’t come without failure and if you don’t know how to deal with a failure then you won’t be able to sustain the success.
