My Journey: Leading in Corporate While Building a Life Aligned With Purpose
For a long time, I believed success was something you achieved by doing more, proving more, and holding everything together. And in many ways, I did exactly that. I built a solid career in Human Resources leadership, worked closely with executives, supported teams across different markets, and learned how businesses grow, break, and rebuild. On the outside, everything looked aligned. On the inside, I started to feel the quiet question forming: Is this all there is?
Working in HR places you very close to the human side of work. You see people at their best and at their most vulnerable. You witness promotions and celebrations, but also burnout, layoffs, identity loss, and emotional exhaustion. Over the years, these moments stayed with me. They made me reflect not only on leadership, but on how deeply our sense of worth becomes tied to our job titles. How easily we forget who we are beyond our roles.
At the same time, I was going through my own inner transformation. I began investing in healing, self-awareness, and emotional growth. I slowed down enough to listen to myself again. I started choosing presence over constant pressure, intention over autopilot, and alignment over external validation. That inner shift changed how I showed up as a leader, as a mother, as a partner, and as a woman building her own life.
What surprised me most is that I didn’t need to leave corporate to evolve. Instead, I learned how to expand while staying. How to bring more humanity into leadership. How to lead with clarity and compassion at the same time. How to hold ambition without losing myself in it.
Today, I live between structure and flow. I continue leading inside corporate environments while also building my own creative and entrepreneurial projects. I write, speak, create content, and guide others who are navigating career transitions, personal reinvention, and moments of identity shift. Not to escape their current life — but to redesign it from a place of truth.
I am deeply passionate about helping people remember who they are beneath the titles, the expectations, and the noise. Because when you reconnect with yourself, everything else changes: the way you lead, the way you work, the way you love, and the way you dream.
This is not a finished story. It’s a living one.
And I’m choosing to keep building it consciously.
