Created by Sara — Mother, Maker, Wellness Seeker
Hi, I’m Sara — the heart behind DIY Live Life.
I’m a proud mom of two incredible boys, and this space was born from love, resilience, and some of life’s most unexpected turns.
How It All Began
My journey into wellness and creativity didn’t start in comfort — it began during one of the darkest, most challenging chapters of my life.
When my eldest son, Ayaan, was just a year old, we received his diagnosis: cerebral palsy, autism, and nonverbal communication. At the same time, I was eight months pregnant with my second child — a pregnancy that ended in stillbirth.
In a matter of days, our world fell apart. My husband and I were heartbroken, overwhelmed, and grieving. By the time Ayaan turned three, he still wasn’t walking, despite countless therapy sessions and treatments. But we didn’t give up.
Through dedication, perseverance, and love, Ayaan eventually took his first steps — a moment that reminded us what true strength really means.
Those difficult years changed us. They pushed us to ask a simple but powerful question:
What truly matters in life?
The answer, we discovered, was health — physical, emotional, and spiritual.
We began searching for healing — exploring gut health, sensory-friendly diets, natural remedies, and holistic therapies. My husband immersed himself in research, always looking for ways to help Ayaan sleep better, feel better, and thrive. He encouraged me to use my tech background — my Master’s in Computer Applications — to build something meaningful.
And that’s how DIY Live Life was born.
The Heart of DIY Live Life
Inspired by the belief that “when you give good, you get good”, this space became my way of giving — sharing what we’ve learned, what’s helped us, and what continues to heal us.
What began as a mission to support my son’s development has grown into a deeper calling — to live with intention, creativity, and hope.
A New Chapter
Six years later, our second son, Arman, was born. He was healthy at birth, but by the age of two, he too began showing signs of delayed speech and autism.
This time, though, we were ready — armed with knowledge, tools, and the emotional strength that only experience can bring.
Today, Arman is thriving. And so are we.
Our journey has taught us that healing comes in many forms:
- A nourishing, homemade meal
- A creative DIY craft made with love
- A moment of mindfulness and affirmation
- Or simply knowing that you’re not alone
