Just when the world was busy celebrating women's day, IAS officer Divya Mittal candidly acknowledged through a post on X, that being an alumna of IIT Delhi and IIM Bangalore didn't fully prepare her for the complexities of motherhood. Mittal shared heartfelt reflections on social media, offering a glimpse into her journey of raising two daughters while managing a demanding career.
In her posts, Mittal revealed that her eight-year-old daughter already encounters societal pressures attempting to suppress her voice when she expresses differing opinions. Mittal emphasized the importance of nurturing her daughter's confidence, teaching her to be both respectful and assertive, and reinforcing that her voice matters, even when it's shaky. She admitted to nights filled with exhaustion and tears, feeling stretched thin by the dual demands of work and motherhood.
