Years ago, I was stuck in a job that didn’t fulfill me. I was burned out and conflicted. I neglected my health, family, and friends. How could I leave a job that represented the "maximum accomplishment" in my life—externally, at least!?

For the last seven or eight years of my professional career, I went into opportunities out of fear of not finding something. I was following the generational fear I grew up with. I thought there was no way I could live up to my dreams. I went into corporate, nonprofit, and startups and tried it all. 

I also felt, deep down, that the things I enjoyed the most in all my jobs were working with and for people, helping them achieve their potential, supporting them and making them feel capable. I have always liked true connections, and my passion lies in supporting people. And I'd asked myself: why am I not fully happy if I am moving up in my career? Why do I want to focus on helping people and forget the rest? 

For the longest time, many days felt like a struggle, and I knew I wanted more out of life. I wanted to make a bigger impact and find true fulfillment, but I was scared of believing 100% in my passion and skills and putting them to work. 

That’s when life helped me and pushed me to make the hardest and biggest decision: would I keep trying to go the same route (the easy, comfortable way) OR believe in myself once and for all and launch my business full-time? 

At first, I was hesitant. 

But I decided to try it, and so far, it has been liberating yet scary, but finally, I feel I am IN THE RIGHT PLACE. This has been my true purpose, and I am betting on myself, finally!
