If you believe in first impressions, you are likely to be disappointed by Gazelle S Khan and Yasmin Mehtab. The two lifelong friends were full-time homemakers, busy taking care of their family, kids and other responsibilities to make their homes run smoothly. There was something they both aspired for but were unclear about the exact nature of what they wanted till they attended a workshop on self-management.

Speaking to TwoCircles.net, Yasmin said, “It started in December 2017 when Gazelle and I participated in a workshop and witnessed a transformation in ourselves.” Adding to the Gazelle says, “Often, we homemakers forget our happiness and keep making sacrifices for our families. But we need to strike a balance. The workshop that we attended touched our lives and we decided to take the skills we learned to others in need to be transformed. And that is how You Touch Lives (YTL) began.”

It was Yasmin who came up with the idea of having YTL (platform to help many who are even clueless about the crisis they are in), to which Gazelle readily agreed. While Yasmin uses her operational acumen to organise the workshop, network etc, Gazelle chose to become the face.

“I also realised that one workshop was not enough to conduct a life-changing workshop for women. I thus became a certified life coach and since then, as they say, there has been no looking back,” she added.
