11 years ago, when I graduated from business school, I landed an accounting job for a large corporation where I made more money than both my parents had made, combined.
I found myself constantly looking for the next rung on the corporate ladder and the next leader to impress.
I put in my 12+ hour days, got promoted and made my way up the ladder feeling important and successful.
I was making money I’d never dreamed of making and had a seat at the table that I’d always thought I’d wanted.
I excelled at what I did.
My bosses loved me. And my team, even more.
But on the inside I was deeply unhappy.
Something was off.
The hustle and grind were wearing me down.
The bosses who loved me didn’t care about my team.
So I left that job. But with each new company I’d work for, the story would repeat itself.
And after 10 years of working for large, male dominated industries and the birth of my twin girls, I finally received the message…
And supporting companies that ignored the value of their employees, focusing on profits and wins for those few (mostly men) at the top, was NOT it!
Being part of businesses designed to benefit the few at the cost of many was literally making me sick.
And when I got ill, I learned what it meant to embody the collective experience of women everywhere who are struggling at the wits of a patriarchal system that was never set up to support the way our bodies work, or what they value.
This cracked my heart and soul wide open.
So, I walked away and decided to go inwards to heal myself and unearth my soul calling.
Here’s what I learned:
I’m here to make order out of chaos and beauty out of the stuff we don’t want to look at.
I was also reminded that I’m passionate about (and a badass natural at) helping businesses tidy-up outdated processes and daunting problems gone ignored, and set-up sustainable processes, support systems and mindsets that are profitable and people centered.
