One of my main issues growing up was when I had to change my job. My parents could never understand why, despite telling them it was a better position, more money, a better company. Their take was, you get a job and you keep it for as long as you can and even if you are not happy, that's it. You can't have what you want. But that was exactly the opposite of I thought because I was ambitious and I was already a go-getter. I understood later on that their mindset was post 2nd world war and they really lived in a time of misery. At the time it drove me crazy. We would argue every time, so at some point, I moved from Milan, Italy to London UK. I fell in love with the city on a study trip when I was 14 and felt that was my place. It took me a while to do it but at age 27 I moved. I left everything and everybody and moved. It was shocking for everyone but so freeing for me. I was getting bored or my life (boyfriend, same things, same people, same places) plus I was still living with my parents and the relationship with my mum was a nightmare. The prospected of having a life that was always the same and eventually create a family killed me only thinking about it. I knew I wanted to be more, do more, travel the world, meet new people, discover new things. I used to work in advertising back in Italy so I thought it would be easy for me to find a job but it was not. Social media were rising quickly as a marketing tool and I didn't have much experience plus I worked in a different country. I really had to come to terms with my low self-esteem and the lack mindset I grew up in. A friend of mine gave me The Secret to read before leaving Italy and that book changed my life. I was already practicing some of the things in the book like gratitude, without knowing I was or the effects of it. I quickly became addicted to self-development. I started to hear people saying that when they needed to feel better they just had to talk to me. With time I decided I wanted to become a life coach. I was natural at it. Until my dad suddenly passed away suddenly almost 5 years ago and my world came crumbling down. I felt my security net had been broken and I was in a free fall and I was scared. That's when I decided I had to make my life happen and this career change happen immediately because what if something happened to my mum too even if she's young? Life is really short! That's how I became a coach and in the process, I became attracted to a lot of spiritual tools, like crystals, cards etc. Becoming an Intuitive and Creative coach was a no brainer for me because that's what I am to the core. Deciding to work with women and helping them find their purpose was a consequence of my story. Once I followed and trusted my intuition, all the pieces of the puzzle got together. I never thought I could find a career that made me feel so happy and fulfilled until I started coaching. Through the process, I discovered colour therapy, reiki, and inner child healing and that's what I decided to incorporate in my coaching. I know how they helped me overcoming my fears, limiting beliefs and blocks and change perspective about a lot of things. My life and my business got better and better. This is why I help women stepping into their true power and finally make decisions that come from within because they will never make a wrong move. I am so passionate about connecting women that I started a podcast called Intuitive Queens where I share stories of other women that have followed their intuition and are now living their purpose. I want to inspire as many women as possible to take action and with different stories, I hope who listens finds one or more they resonate with and help them taking action. www.theintuitionqueen.com IG @the_intuition_queen FB @theintuitionqueen YouTube @www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrgTmoed3quUTObDg4g8IQ Intuitive Queens Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/intuitive-queens-podcast/id1477108959 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
