I spent the first 22 years of my life, believing that I would stay single for the rest of my life.

Childhood traumas are real. Although I was surrounded by loving brothers and sisters, seeing some relationships around me crumble made me believe that men (except for my father) never stay in a marriage for the rest of their life. However, I was blessed to acknowledge that it is true that marriage isn’t for everyone, but it doesn’t mean that it’s not for me.

I don’t believe in careers; I believe in callings.

Up until the age of 21, my life has been dictated by society. I did everything that any regular person would do – go to school, get a degree, start a career. Well, I struggled with knowing exactly where to pursue my career. As a Marketing graduate, it would be normal to follow up with employment in the Marketing field. However, I juggled around part-time and full-time jobs in the hope of finding the right career for me.

I then realized that a career wasn’t what I was looking for. I was going around, trying to figure out my calling. I wanted to know my purpose in this world, and it was such a craving to me that I wanted to explore it at the age of 22.

I believe that everyone has a calling. And if they would embrace that uniqueness, many people would be happy in life.

Fortunately for me, having all these employments helped me find my calling, helping others through Self-Empowerment coaching.

As many people believe that the Benjamin of the family is spoiled, I grew up very independent.

I grew up in a big family of 11 kids. Although I’m the last one, I grew up as an independent woman. I wasn’t spoiled and was corrected when needed by my parents, which I am very grateful for. The independence that I gained through the years helped me make challenging decisions in my life, making me have big goals like getting out of debt and setting healthy boundaries.
