In a time when parenting is a maze of myths, advice, and pressures, Jyoti Ahuja is a beacon of guidance and inspiration. Based in Indore, India, this 36-year-old parent coach has built a community of over 1 lakh moms. She helps them embrace mindful parenting, overcome challenges, and find joy in motherhood.
Jyoti’s story is one of resilience, growth, and empowerment. She battled personal struggles and then became a trusted name in parenting.
Jyoti’s journey began six years ago when she became a mother. A trained physiotherapist, she was drawn to parenting’s nuances instead of pursuing her degree. “I realized parenting is far from instinctual in today’s world. It requires awareness, effort, and an eagerness to learn,” she shares.
Jyoti wanted to break free from old myths. So, she read parenting books, crafted DIY activities, and tried healthy recipes for her son. Sharing these moments on Instagram through her page Moms_Cruise became her outlet. Her honest take on struggles, like breastfeeding myths and unwanted advice, resonated with many mothers.
Turning Challenges into Milestones
When the COVID-19 pandemic brought a new era of remote learning, Jyoti turned adversity into opportunity. She devised fun, screen-free learning activities for her son. This earned her local newspaper fame as a DIY Mom. She engaged her child in imaginative play without gadgets.
Her greatest achievement is keeping her son screen-free for his first two years. After that, she limits his screen time to 30 minutes a week.
Encouraged by her impact, Jyoti pursued a parenting coach certification and a child psychology diploma. This expanded her ability to guide other mothers. She began hosting workshops and offering one-on-one sessions, helping moms become more mindful and intentional in their parenting.
Jyoti’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. With a vibrant Instagram community of over 1 lakh followers through her page Moms_Cruise, she has become a trusted voice in the parenting space. Her accolades include invitations as a special guest to prominent moms’ groups, being honored as the Best Mum Influencer in Indore, and receiving features in local newspapers.
She was also recognized as a winner for Best Trending Reel by Born on Instagram, marking another milestone in her career. Additionally, she has collaborated with renowned brands like FirstCry, Pampers, Dyson, Babyhug, and LuvLap, cementing her reputation as a credible influencer in the parenting niche.
Jyoti’s accomplishments aren’t limited to her professional life. She was the runner-up at Mrs. Indore, a title she achieved with pride while embracing her postpartum body—a testament to her confidence and determination.
While her professional achievements are remarkable, Jyoti credits her journey as a parent coach for her personal growth as well. “This Instagram account (Moms_Cruise) has given me independence. It’s been a transformative journey, not as a professional but as a woman and a mom,” she says.
Her ability to connect authentically with her audience has made her a relatable and inspiring figure. Despite facing challenges like fluctuating algorithms and occasional dips in engagement, Jyoti has persevered. “It’s all about showing up, even when things feel slow. The universe has abundance for everyone—you just have to keep going,” she advises.
A Vision for the Future
Jyoti envisions a future where motherhood is celebrated as a source of strength and opportunity. She aims to break stereotypes that suggest women lose their identity after becoming mothers. “Motherhood gave me a path to travel, learn, and share. I want to be an icon who inspires others to see that being a mom doesn’t limit you—it empowers you,” she declares.
As she continues to grow her community and influence, Jyoti is focused on evolving not just as an influencer but as a thought leader in mindful parenting.
For those starting out on similar journeys, Jyoti offers a simple yet profound piece of advice: “It’s okay to fail. Just get up again and keep going. Growth takes time, and every step matters.”
Her story is proof that perseverance, passion, and authenticity can pave the way to incredible achievements, both personally and professionally.
