I’m on an exciting and transforming journey to create the life I’ve always dreamed of. In the past, I held onto who I thought I was. But now, I am focused on becoming the person I am meant to be.
For the last ten years, I searched for my path. I spent a lot of time working in kitchens, because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do. Then, in 2023, everything changed. I took a hard look at my life and realized it was time for something big to shift. So, I made a bold decision—I handed in my two-week notice.
Looking back, it might have seemed like a rash decision, but deep down, I knew it was the right one. I was content, but I wasn’t fulfilled. I had so much more I wanted to do, so much more to give. I wish I could tell you the transition was smooth, but it wasn’t. The day I quit my job, I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t know what was next—I just knew I had to make a change.
During that period of uncertainty, I worked at a driving range, at an accounting firm and delivery driving. i also took some accounting courses, but stop those when I lost my accounting job. I was devastated the day my boss told me he was downsizing, but it became a turning point for me. It forced me to ask myself: What am I passionate about? What makes me excited to wake up in the morning?
The answer came quickly: Fitness, writing, food, health, music…. the list goes on, but nothing said accounting so I was okay with letting that one go. I decided to dive into things that I love. I considered personal training, looked into fitness courses, but they didn’t quite align with what I was looking for.
Then, a conversation with some friends changed everything. They suggested I look into a nutrition course. I checked out the program, and it clicked. I signed up, and that was the start of my nutrition journey.
The road hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been exactly what I needed. I’ve learned that stepping out of my comfort zone and taking risks is necessary to get my life on track. I didn’t take the most conventional path, but it’s been working for me.
That said, I want to be clear: Don’t follow my path! Make your own. You’ll make mistakes—just like I did—but that’s part of the journey. Keep going, pick yourself up when you fall, and stay focused on your dreams. You’ve got this!
It won’t always be easy, but trust me—it will be worth it.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Cheers!
