So we sacrifice our wellness, rituals, and sometimes our values to make up for it. The impact? Slow deterioration of our self worth. That was me at the beginning of my career:→ Coffee-fuelled addiction to get through the days.→ Wine induced sleepiness to help achieve a ‘good night's rest’.→ Putting everything and everyone around me first, ahead of myself.→ People pleasing my way through life to not be seen as unliked, aggressive, assertive or too much. Rinse. Repeat.No matter how much I sacrificed, I never felt like I belonged in the traditional business world.And that ended up being the best thing for me:I discovered my worth not as a result of how well I fit in, but by the impact I created when I invested my energy for the people, communities, and things I cared about most.But here’s the most important thing about impact: It starts with prioritizing yourself first.When you take everyday moments, and transform them into an opportunity to invest in your growth & wellbeing, you are better equipped to create a transformational impact around you.Today, I’m on a mission to democratize wellness.Not as a luxury, but as a non-negotiable for every woman.That’s why I build businesses with impact and invest in women founders building with impact.My journey has taught me this:What makes you “bad for business” is what makes you “good for humanity”.And good humanity ends up being the best business.
