I would not be where I am today in my career without the challenges I experienced in my life. And I would not be where I am today in my life without the challenges I experienced in my career. I have never used the challenges as a crutch, and they have never dictated my life. They live deep down within me and privately, I let them play the role they need to as I continue to learn and grow. The same can be said for all of the incredibly happy experiences I have been lucky enough to enjoy.
Until now, I have internalized my personal and professional journey, but I believe that by sharing my experiences, this will become a space you can depend on to uncover takeaways that will translate into your own personal journey, in life and in business.
Where it all started…
I have been out on my own since I was sixteen years old. Being in that situation when you don’t know who you are yet is extremely difficult, terrifying, and incredibly isolating. You end up in situations you may not find yourself in had you been in a traditional environment. I could have easily gone down a very dark path. But I developed a curiosity, and confidence to try things I was interested in. I have been able to create the life I’m living and I’m grateful for what I’ve learned by going through this experience.
