Zarah's advice to women is to never give up. "If you have a dream, work for it. I'm not saying to do the same thing I did juggling work, study while taking care of children. Just work on little things and start to make SMART goals meaning Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Time-bound. If you don't set SMART goals and there's no deadline, it will not happen. Start small first, because a goal without a plan is just a wish."

Zarah admits that it has been tough to juggle everything and there are times that she wants to give up but she gets her strength from her daughters.
