At Brilliant Read Media, it is our constant endeavour to identify and share some of the unique and compelling stories from the startup ecosystem. As part of this, we invited Kapila Rattan Bhowmik for an interview with Brilliant Read Media. To say further, Kapila is a Certified Parenting Coach, Child Counsellor and Influencer. Let’s learn more about her background, inspiring journey so far and her advice for our growing community!
Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Kapila:
Could you please talk us through your background and your journey?
I’ve been an IT professional for the past 19 years, but becoming a mother 12 years ago changed everything for me. That experience awakened something deep within — a realisation that I had become disconnected from others, and even from myself. Yet, in doing everything for my little one, I discovered what truly called to me.
I realised how profoundly parenting shapes not only children but entire families. My own journey as a mother, combined with my growing curiosity and compassion for parents, inspired me to learn, research, and eventually train as a Parenting Coach.
Over time, I’ve had the privilege of working with many families, helping them bring more calm, connection, and emotional intelligence into their homes.
How did you discover your passion?
Over the years, I’ve observed how small shifts in the way parents communicate and connect with their children can create a profound impact. Witnessing families move from constant struggles to calm, nurturing relationships filled me with purpose.
That’s when I knew I wanted to dedicate myself to guiding parents through their challenges — while empowering them to rediscover their inner strengths and build deeper connections within their families.
Who do you believe has been the biggest source of motivation in your daily life?
My biggest motivation has always been my family — especially my children. Every challenge and every milestone reminds me of the power and importance of intentional parenting.
Beyond my own family, the parents I work with continually inspire me. Their trust, vulnerability, and commitment to growth push me to keep learning, evolving, and showing up as the best version of myself — for them and for the work I love.
What are some of the strategies that you believe have helped you grow as a person?
I stay grounded through consistent mindfulness and reflection. As a lifelong learner, I continue to grow through books, trainings, and even the heartfelt stories parents share with me.
I’ve also built a daily practice of gratitude and self-care, which keeps me centred and positive. And above all, I’m deeply grateful for my supportive community — a circle that continually encourages learning, growth, and shared purpose.
In your opinion what are the keys to success?
For me, success isn’t just about external achievements — it’s about inner alignment.
True success comes when you have:
Clarity of purpose — knowing why you do what you do.
Discipline and consistency — understanding that even the smallest daily steps create lasting change.
Resilience — the strength to rise and grow through setbacks.
Authenticity — staying true to your values while carving your own path.
What advice would you give to our readers?
This is something I often remind all my clients and the parents I work with — trust your journey, and don’t compare it with anyone else’s. Whether it’s in career, parenting, or personal growth, progress looks different for everyone.
Take time for yourself, invest in your emotional well-being, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Above all, celebrate the small wins — because those often lead to the biggest transformations, both in you and your child. You are your child’s safe space.
