From working in fast-paced startups to living life on the open road, ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ journey is anything but ordinary. Once based in Mumbai, she made a life-changing decision in 2021, to chase her dreams of freedom, travel, and purpose with her loyal golden retriever, Alexis, by her side.
She packed her life into a second-hand car, left behind a stable job in the construction and SaaS world, and hit the road to Jaisalmer. With no fixed plan, just courage and curiosity, Shivani slowly began to carve out her path as a freelance B2B content marketer. From consulting projects to a part-time strategy head role, she found her sweet spot helping SaaS startups grow through personal branding and content marketing, all while exploring new places.

Professionally, the toughest hurdle was dealing with imposter syndrome. โIt took time to push past self-doubt. Hitting ‘publish’ on my first few posts felt terrifying, but I kept going.โ
One of her proudest achievements? Launching ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ, a thriving community for freelancers and remote workers looking to live life on their own terms. โItโs a space where people can find support, inspiration, and courage to start their own journey,โ Shivani shares. Her passion for teaching led her to mentorship cohorts with creators like Ankur Warikoo and Nas Daily were pivotal experiences that helped her bring this vision to life.

โStart small, but think big. Offer value, stay persistent, and keep learning. The freedom youโre dreaming of is on the other side of action.โ
