You see, not too long before that moment, I had reached a crossroads in my life. I had settled for a path that felt like the easiest choice but left me overwhelmed and unfulfilled.

It was as if I had hit the pause button on my dreams.

I had abandoned my pursuit of an art degree, gone through a painful divorce, and ended up in a soul-crushing office job that paid the bills but suffocated my spirit. Busyness and burnout had taken hold of me, blinding me to my own potential.

Deep inside, I knew I was meant for something greater. My heart longed to help other women like me, to guide them towards their own strengths, and to empower them to become leaders. I wanted to equip them with the tools to break free from the chains of busyness and rediscover the dreams they had put on hold.

It was during this time of introspection that I made a decision that would change my life forever. I chose to step far outside my comfort zone, embarking on a life-changing journey to train Christian national leaders in Russia. It was an adventure that would test my limits and ignite my spirit of leadership, encouraging others, enriching women's lives and leading to the foundation of two businesses.
