After two years dedicated to journalism, personal growth, and rediscovering what truly mattered to me, I was ready to return to the professional world.

Joining Deloitte marked the beginning of what I now consider the third chapter of my career. It was also the first time I realized that experiences that initially seem unrelated often come together in unexpected ways.

In this episode, I share what it was like to return to a structured corporate environment after stepping away, how journalism skills unexpectedly became an asset in a marketing role, and why this experience reinforced my belief that careers are rarely linear.

I also reflect on my experience building executive communities, working with senior leaders from some of the largest organizations in France, and discovering a level of strategic thinking that profoundly influenced my own professional development.

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that the periods in life that seem uncertain or disconnected often become the experiences that shape us the most.

Perhaps nothing in our careers happens by chance after all.
