International Women's Club was created by Sonia Aujla, age 26 from the UK who aims to support women globally. Whether this be women who want to start their own business and are not too sure how to go forward with the idea or in terms of creating a new website for them and increasing their social media presence. It could also be for current business owners looking to gain more clients or for those who are in employment and need inspiration and motivation to connect with other like-minded women. Having lost her sister to suicide at the age of 18 and seeing women struggle with the confidence to unleash their potential throughout her life, completely flipped Sonia's world upside down. She wanted to know, what is it exactly hat makes people genuinely happy, successful and creatively fulfilled? Why do some people struggle while others find a way to thrive, often despite the most challenging circumstances?
