Admittedly, I was a dreamer and had a wish list that I was lucky enough to tick off. But, something always has to give right…? In my case, it was my career. I decided to leave my job to raise the kids and become a full-time mum! I continued to do this for a few years, feeling happy and content but it was only a matter of time before that feeling of emptiness began to consume me.
I needed to reinvent myself! Going back into the city wasn’t a good option because it would mean barely seeing my family, so I started to look deeper, often questioning myself “what is my WHY?”
Now what?!
Well, I decided it was time for me to create a new list and really ask myself; who am I and what do I want…
I'm an unapologetic people person – yes, it sounds cliché, but it's the truth. While some find their energy in solitude, I thrive when surrounded by the company of good people.
Events have always been my calling. At every juncture in my life, there was a topic to discuss, knowledge to impart, and connections to be forged. At this phase of my life, I yearned for something more profound. I wanted to learn from the experiences and life lessons of people I hadn't even crossed paths with yet.
However, my quest for knowledge came with the desire for a vibrant learning environment—a space where I could feel at ease, welcomed, and unafraid of sharing my own vulnerabilities.
I was convinced that I couldn't be the only one with this mindset. Flock was hatched… and ready to fly.
As a woman, society often imposes the notion that we can't have it all. But, for me, I was resolute in my determination to defy that and give it my all. I do hope you’ll join me.
