Learning the art of taking space

[Bansi Pattni]

Thank you for sharing your Substack journey Harneek and I’m glad you listened to your soul and started writing. Women are always taught to “be humble” and not to take up space which instills self doubt. Ignore the noise and keep going. Congratulations on reaching 50 subscribers! 😊

I love how raw and honest this post is. Thanks for openly sharing your journey, Harneek! Keep doing what you’re doing. Your journey is a beautiful reminder that it's okay to start small, feel scared, and still move forward. Your words are undoubtedly making a difference to many, and that’s something to be immensely proud of.

Congrats for your first fifty subscribers. I am happy to be in this space where women like you and others not only take space but also own it like queens. It is so inspiring to see us grow together.

Thanks Shanjitha, that's so true. It's inspiring to see women taking up space, growing and supporting each other on Substack. Thanks for continuous support :)

'How would I know to take up any space as I have always seen women in my lineage adjusting herself and her needs to fit in whatever is remaining?'

A profound and sobering point, Harneek.

Congrats on achieving this milestone.

[Harneek Chawla]

Thanks Raveen for your comment and the restack :)

[Patrick Muindi]

Congratulations on your progress, Harneek. It's certainly been a journey. The hardest part is mostly done as it was about convincing yourself that someone out there would find your words meaningful and valuable (they always were). Now, there can only be growth. To more courage and growth.

[Harneek Chawla]

Thanks Patrick and thanks for all the encouragement and support :)
