Rubina chaudhary
Words of Wisdom
Through my journey in business, leadership, and community service, I have learned that we do not need to have every answer before we begin. You don't need every answer before you start. I didn't. I was raising a family in California while caring for my parents in Canada, and running a business at the same time. What helped was a clear plan, one step at a time. That's what I help women build now.
I'm Rubina Chaudhary: entrepreneur for 35+ years, who cared for my aging parents, and founder of a nonprofit for seniors. I help midlife women set goals that fit their real lives, and see them through.
My Story
One daughter's journey.
As an only child, I cared for my aging parents from across the border while building my company. That experience led me to start Olive Community Services, so no senior ages in isolation, and to write
Building Olive. Today I help women who are holding everything together make progress on their own goals too.
