  • #16 ~ Life Update + My Journey From Office Grind to Full-Time VA

    I liked my office job; one of them, I even LOVED.

    For more than 3 years I was working as a consultant for a finance company, helping people making their dreams of a life abroad true (from building a dog kennel in Spain, to working as a dentist in cape town or living an off-grid life in the jungle of Brazil.. loved it! 🥹)
    My 9-5 office job provided stability, a safe monthly paycheck, and a sense of belonging. I enjoyed working with the team, I was even leading my own team by the age of 21, tackling projects, and contributing to our clients and the company having a great time.
    However, the reality of that 9-to-5 grind began to weigh heavily on me.
    The long commutes were draining, spending hours stuck in traffic every day.
    I felt trapped in a life that left little room for spontaneity or personal growth.
    The office walls, once a source of comfort, started to feel like a golden cage.
    I felt like I was at the wrong place, following a career that is not me.
    I craved flexibility, freedom, and the ability to work from wherever my heart desired.
    WHILE helping people with their big visions and dreams.
    In this episode, I am sharing my journey with you - the steps, the challenges, the fears, the action and I deeply trust that this helps you for your journey, too ❤️‍🔥
