Brand Story
It’s said that experience is the best teacher. Through her life experiences, Jas has become the beacon of light for other women striving to find their voice, but her boldness, tenacity, and wisdom were not earned through a school programme or professional training. Jas Dosanjh lived under the shadow of a retrogressive culture that viewed girls as a liability and parents would dispose of girls either at birth or through arranged or forced marriage. She was brought up in poverty, suffered bullying, was forced into a marriage at the age of 19, suffered infidelity and violence and is a victim of attempted rape by a family member. Through all of this, she has survived trauma and distress, constantly fighting against male dominance and patriarchy both within her own family and with outsiders.
Years later came a different kind of pain, divorce, a legal process that is a rollercoaster of emotions where she had to deal with overbearing solicitors and a narcissist ex-husband who tore her from her two children. Depressed since she was a teenager and driven to suicidal thoughts by a string of wrong choices and misinformation, Jas turned a long-life passion for books into a career in writing, sharing her life stories.
Today, she has risen from the ashes to become an entrepreneur who has been listed in Who´s Who of Britain´s Business Elite. Jas is a distinguished author and a divorce strategist helping other women avoid costly mistakes in divorce proceedings. She is also writing a series of memoirs, sharing her experiences right from her childhood as the second eldest daughter of Sikh-Punjabi immigrants to lessons in business and family law.
Jas has dedicated her life to teaching women how to stand up for themselves in relationships and how to recognize and avoid emotional and psychological abuse in relationships. She also advises on how to deal with other kinds of family dynamics and dysfunctional relationships, especially manipulation or abuse from parents, siblings and partners. Through her workshops, she has found a platform where she engages with her audience in person. She’s also invited as a speaker and trainer by organisations to speak on forced marriages.
Her books and online courses are a well of wisdom. Blunt, keen-eyed, precise and current, Jas reminds us in every line that fear and failure can be our loudest call to courage. Her golden tip: before you even ask for a divorce, have a game plan, be mentally, physically and emotionally prepared for the court process, so that you’re not taken advantage of or cave in to the pressure.
