Everyone is expected to be an optimiser bunny.

There are “gurus” selling courses for $1000s teaching you how to optimise your:

🔥 Time
🔥 Sleep
🔥 Workouts (how to lose 20% of your body fat in 60 days, anyone?!)

It’s as if we’re all running on a treadmill at 20 km/hour and we Can. Not. Stop!

This applies to our work too.

People receiving accolades (+ envious comments) for being:

👀 The Youngest CEO
👀 The Teenager Who Made $1 million before he turned 25
👀 The management consultant who blazed up the ranks in ½ the time it takes everyone else!

Phew.

It’s exhausting just to think about it.

But you know what all the above leads to?

🚫 Exhaustion.
🚫 Unhappiness.
🚫 Existential crisis.

So what if we have the accolades, the money & even the fancy Lamborghini?

What truly matters & lights us up… sometimes can’t be quantified.

Or at least it isn’t quantified in the way that society teaches us to.

And at some point, you will find yourself thinking, “But what’s next? Is this all there is to life?”

I know this - because I faced this very same dilemma.

I was a VP at BlackRock and led a perfect-on-paper life, but I felt empty inside.

So I started a fashion blog. I didn’t have particular goals for it: I just wanted a creative outlet and a way to “find” myself again.

Surprisingly, that fashion blog helped me land a job at a hip fashion startup, which then gave me the tools to build my own business today.

And now, here I am!

A career coach helping other high achieving corporates like myself find their dream job - because there is more to life than the money, cars, money and fancy French Press coffees (ok maybe not this one, I need my coffee 😝).

Don’t you agree?


PS: Let me know if you’re seeking your dream job! Just shoot me a DM saying “COFFEE” and if you love your caffeine too, let me know your favourite spot? Sharing is caring! 😉
