Today at Baton Baton Mein Podcast, I have another very talented, versatile, and well-accomplished personality who amazed me by her journey. Let me try to introduce her. Why did I say “try to”? Here is the answer – Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, or Educator – it is hard to tell which one of these can best describe my guest. She started her writing journey at the age of 17 years. It was a compilation of poetry. In 2020, she wrote her first self-help book, ‘Come On, Get Set Go‘ and stepped into prose from poetry. This book was translated into more than 15 languages and has won Rashtriya Raj Bhasha Award from the Government of India. As a motivational speaker, she has trained more than 10,000 students and professionals. Please welcome Swati Lodha- Doctorate in Women Entrepreneurship, Amazon No. 1 bestselling author of ‘Don’t Raise Your Children, Raise Yourself’, and Founder of Life Lemonade organization for life transformation, women empowerment, leadership, and parenting.
During our conversation, Dr. Swati Lodha shared some sweet memories from her childhood and her school days. She also talked about how they played a big role in shaping her personality. Then, discussing how she started her entrepreneurial journey, Swati mentioned an opportunity she got when during her master’s. She attended a personality development program as an observer, which later laid the foundation of her first start-up SWASH Pvt. Ltd. (Skills, Wit, and Attitude are Shaped Here). And along with this, she shared many valuable tips about parenting.
Here is the link to the episode:
I was delighted to listen to her views about parenting and felt a sense of satisfaction that we have a lot in common. Her practical approach to life is very inspiring. When I asked her, “today, from where she is, how does she feel when she looks back?” She said I don’t believe in looking back. I give my 100% to the present moment. I feel that this approach is suitable for almost every walk of life.
Talking about parenting, Dr. Swati Lodha explained why parents should not force their kids to be perfect in everything, why parents should teach their kids to accept failures. She gave me many reasons to ponder upon the tips she shared in this interview. I am sure you will also find it equally insightful as I did.

Oh yes practical parenting is my way too. I don’t make my kids believe I’m some super human or machine who does all their work until I can. They know I have my own work too.
Thats how it should be.
It’s always important to mark our kids independent and do all they works it is good going post thank you for sharing.
Yes
I love her thoughts on giving 100 percent to your present moments. indeed it is the best thing that could make a major difference in our future as well. also, when it comes to parenting and raising kids, i agree with Swati’s thoughts that we should not aim to raise perfect kids, accepting your failures should be a part of normal growing process and kids should learn that art so well.
Yes Surbhi.
As always Alpana, you have a knack of inviting very interesting guests to your podcast. Dr. Swati Lodha’s advice is relatable on so many levels.
Thanks Noor. I try to bring a variety for my listeners.
That’s true Alpana, Children thrive when they are challenged, given some responsibility and encouraged to be strong and independent. Strong children will inevitably become strong and independent adults.
Children take pride in taking responsibility but parents should give them opportunities to show that side of their personality.
Loved the thought about giving one’s 100% to the current moment or present data and making the best of it. Seems like a great interview and very motivating.
Yes it was. Do listen to it.
Meeting such an eminent personality through your interview series Alpana. So much to learn from her and apply in our lives to reach the goals we set for ourselves.
I completely agree. She is very positive.
Many mothers have been tagged as a lazy mother as they aimed at raising independent kids. After listening to her they can rest assured that they are going through the right path
Very true.
That’s an amazing post. It’s very important to make our kids independent and thank you for sharing this arti ke with us.
I am glad you liked it.
