Today, we continue the conversation with the \\u201cintrigue-of-the-party\\u201d.\\xa0 Tina Pathak is that person that no one can stop talking about.\\xa0 She waltzed into my Mothers Group four years ago w her newborn baby in a pram, shared her birth story (full of juicy details about going into labour over the most scrumptious steak sandwich at a local place we both love) and I instantly knew, I have to be friends w this woman!

I\\u2019ve know her as Tina Pathak these past yrs and somehow, she sends her bio to me as Teressa Joseph.\\xa0 Of course she has many names.\\xa0 She\\u2019s seriously the \\u201cthe international wo-MAN of mystery\\u201d??

Born in India, she quickly moved to Saudi Arabia but when the Gulf War struck \\u2013 they moved on to Dubai.\\xa0 At age 12, she returned to India by herself to attend boarding school at her Uncles newly developed school.\\xa0 She couldn\\u2019t have known that 3yrs later, her parents would return to India bowing their heads having been duped out of their fortune in Dubai.\\xa0 Tina\\u2019s Father, who she lovingly calls \\u201cAppa\\u201d, gathered up his wife and worked to the bone to re-create a life for his family in India once again.

Studying Engineering IT, and later a Philanthropy degree; Tina\\u2019s life spanned India and Ireland before she married her husband Sumeet in an arranged marriage (that\\u2019s a story I promise we\\u2019re going to get to) and now has two kids under the age of 5 living in Brisbane, Australia.

Her Father\\u2019s final words to her were whispered in her ear: \\u201cyou are so beautiful and talented and creative, make sure you do something. Don\\u2019t stay at home.\\u201d\\xa0

The greatest sadness of her life was when her Dad passed unexpectedly -\\xa0 she has been fulfilling on his prophetic words ever since.

This woman is an enigmatic presence in our community and I can\\u2019t wait to share her with you all\\u2026we can all grow from someone w her life experiences\\u2026

We\\u2019re so glad you\\u2019re here at In The Game Podcast Tina, it\\u2019s been a long time coming\\u2026
