What Germany Taught Me About Showing Up Anyway

At Crunchy Mama Box, we believe wellness isn’t just about the products we choose—it’s also about the stories we live. Today, I’m stepping out from behind the brand to share a very personal part of my own story.
I am honored to announce that I am a contributing author in the new anthology, UNMAPPED: Solo Women’s Journeys of Healing, Resilience and Self-Discovery, by renowned author Lizbeth Meredith.
In my chapter, set in Germany, I share a period of my life that reminded me we don’t need perfect conditions to show up as our strongest selves. Even when life hands you nothing but a white T-shirt and a tiny shampoo, you can still rise and do the work you came for.
This book is a collection of courage, healing, and unexpected wisdom—and I am truly moved to share my journey alongside such incredible women.
To every woman traveling her own path: You are already enough.
With love and resilience,
Wanda Malhotra Founder, Crunchy Mama Box
