The Story so Far
From flying aircrafts to holding a baby in my arms, my cockpit shifted but my mission to lead with precision never did.
I’m Barkha Chellani a commercial pilot, ritual keeper, postpartum navigator, and the founder of Cockpit to Crib.
This platform was born at the intersection of two very different runways: aviation and motherhood. And like every great journey, mine began with loss, love, and a deep calling to rise.
When I was 16, I lost both my parents in a tragic accident.
In that moment, life handed me grief before guidance. But instead of turning bitter, I turned inward. Instead of breaking down, I built resilience quietly, steadily, fiercely. My healing became my fuel. My sky was still waiting.
I trained to become a pilot. I built a life of structure, systems, and sharp decision-making. I mastered checklists, emergency protocols, and precise rhythms, everything that keeps a cockpit steady, no matter the turbulence.
At 17, I met the love of my life, my now husband and my greatest ally.
He’s a pilot too.
Over a ten-year courtship filled with laughter, growth, and emotional maturity, we built a foundation not just of love but of deep friendship, respect, and teamwork.
My daughter was born, motherhood arrived. My husband and I decided to parent consciously.We built systems and structures to support my postpartum healing.

A New Flight Plan
Despite years of navigating the skies, nothing prepared me for the hormonal chaos, identity shift, postpartum exhaustion, and emotional recalibration that motherhood demanded.
I didn’t have family support. I didn’t have a roadmap.
But I had something else: my training.
So I did what I knew best
I built a system.

Cockpit to Crib was born not as a blog, but as a motherhood command center.
This space is for high-performing women whether you’re a homemaker, entrepreneur, or executive who are transitioning into motherhood and feeling unanchored.
Every mother experiences an identity shift.
Every mother faces silent storms.
But few are handed a system to navigate them.
That’s what I’ve built.
That’s what I now teach.
From emotional first aid kits to spiritual rituals, from daily rhythms to crisis-day checklists I share the exact tools I used (and still use) to show up fully, with grace and groundedness, as a mother and a woman.
