She arrived in Mumbai with no home, no job, no support system - and only ₹4 lakh in her bank account.
A few months earlier, Neha had left a marriage that was destroying her emotionally and physically. Her family told her not to return home. She was struggling with anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights while trying to understand how she would survive on her own.
But one morning became the beginning of a completely different life.
Neha slowly rebuilt her career, learned to stand by herself, wrote a book, found love again, and eventually walked away from corporate life. Today, she and her partner live in the mountains and run a seven-room homestay that required an initial investment of approximately ₹15-16 lakh and now generates an average monthly income of around ₹1-1.5 lakh.
In this episode of How They Made It by Groww, Neha shares:
• Why she left an abusive marriage despite having nowhere to go
• How she survived in Mumbai with ₹4 lakh
• Her experience with anxiety, depression, and seeking professional help
• How she rebuilt her career and relationship with her family
• Why she eventually quit corporate life
• How she and her partner moved to the mountains
• The cost of setting up their seven-room homestay
• Their current income and lifestyle expenses
• Why earning more money stopped being her definition of success
• How her health, work, and relationship changed after leaving the city
This is not simply a story about leaving the city or opening a homestay.
It is a story about reclaiming your identity after everything familiar falls apart - and building a life in which money supports your freedom instead of controlling it.
Please note: This episode discusses domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Viewer discretion is advised. Help is available. Please reach out to a qualified mental-health professional or a trusted emergency support service in your location if you are struggling.

I simply wanted to listen to the story of someone I had never met—a young woman from a financially well-off family, with a good education and a comfortable life. I was deeply shocked to hear about the marital abuse and suffering she endured, something that, sadly, is all too common in every corner of India.
What made her story different? I was relieved to know that she eventually found a soulmate, left her painful past behind, and found a better path in life.
Ironically, a search about personal finance and retirement led me to something far more meaningful. I couldn't even listen to the rest of her story properly because I found myself crying. For the first time, I cried for someone I didn't even know. Perhaps her pain reminded me of the silent suffering of our own sisters, mothers, and daughters.
Her story draws a powerful line between wealth and peace. It reminds us that true freedom is not just about accumulating wealth, but about rediscovering ourselves, healing from within, and caring for the person we truly are.
made for each other. ,,,, Both of you inspiration ,,,,,, i wish you both stay blessed and forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤
