She remembers barefoot days, tree climbing and a neighbourhood where homes, meals and the care of children were shared. With doors always open and service woven into daily life through church and outreach work, the foundations of compassion, leadership and community were laid early.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breaking into the corporate world<\/strong><br \/>\nOpportunity arrived in 1994 with a corporate internship, a pivotal moment for a young woman whose family could not afford tertiary education.<br \/>\nCurious and systems-savvy, she mastered emerging technologies as workplaces digitised, quickly becoming a go-to trainer and systems superuser. By her early twenties, she was travelling nationally and across Africa, moving into management roles where she was often the youngest in the room and frequently the only woman of colour.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42569 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-321x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"321\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-321x400.jpg 321w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-822x1024.jpg 822w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-768x957.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-337x420.jpg 337w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-696x867.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659-1068x1331.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Pic1-5-e1775640078659.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/>The boldest career move<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile corporate success offered stability, Noeline knew her next chapter would require more than climbing the ladder. After marrying her husband Rajesh, becoming a bonus mom to two young daughters and later welcoming their son, she made the decision to step away from her corporate career.<br \/>\nTogether, she and Rajesh built a fledgling logistics and supply chain business from the ground up. Noeline led operations and administration while Rajesh drove growth, helping the company develop into a multi-division enterprise.<br \/>\nEqually important, the move made space for her next chapter: impact-driven work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mindfulness with meaning<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring lockdown, Noeline&#8217;s long-standing interest in mindfulness and coaching took clearer shape. Daily online meditation and support sessions evolved into The Mindfulness Academy, a platform focused on women&#8217;s empowerment, emotional well-being and youth development.<br \/>\nShe developed mindfulness programmes for children, facilitated talks for corporates and community organisations and recognised that her work could reach even further.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-42874\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-386x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-386x400.jpg 386w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-989x1024.jpg 989w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-768x795.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-406x420.jpg 406w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-696x721.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778-1068x1106.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/MainPic_SilverGlitter-scaled-e1775640826778.jpg 1207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/>A pageant with purpose<\/strong><br \/>\nA chance supermarket conversation introduced her to the Mrs South Africa platform &#8211; not simply as a pageant, but as a leadership and advocacy space centred on personal development and community impact.<br \/>\nDespite family hesitation and her own doubts about entering in her late forties, Noeline applied. She secured sponsors, embraced the journey and committed fully to the process. Then, just two weeks before the finals, everything shifted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The diagnosis and the decision<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter discovering a small lump in her breast, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.<br \/>\nIn the midst of rehearsals, fittings and public appearances, she carried the diagnosis quietly. With her surgeon&#8217;s cautious approval, she chose to continue competing before surgery &#8211; not out of denial, but determination.<br \/>\n&#8220;My story is not going to be about this cancer,&#8221; she decided.<br \/>\nShe competed while exhausted but focused. Days after finishing as a titleholder, she underwent surgery, followed by radiation. It was a demanding season that tested her resolve and faith.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Her message now<\/strong><br \/>\nToday, Noeline uses every platform available to advocate for early cancer detection, mental resilience, spiritual grounding and intentional living. She speaks candidly about miscarriage, anxiety, entrepreneurship, identity and personal empowerment &#8211; without gloss or pretence.<br \/>\nTurning 50 feels less like a milestone and more like an arrival. Adding to the joy, she is preparing to become a grandmother to a baby girl due in her birthday month, something she describes as the greatest gift she could receive.<br \/>\n&#8220;I am ready for my grandmother era,&#8221; she laughs.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Details:<\/strong> IG: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/noelinerajbally\/\">@noelinerajbally<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Text:<\/strong> Jennifer Campbell <strong>Photograph:<\/strong> Wylde Creative <strong>Makeup:<\/strong> Miss Makeup<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Umhlanga-based businesswoman and personal empowerment coach Noeline Rajbally is no stranger to reinvention.
