20 years ago, I branded myself as 'The Life Designer,' aiming to present a unique, premium approach to life-coaching. My goal was to be a genuine game-changer.
Living authentically—guided by your heart and mind—is the foundation of true happiness and fulfillment. Compromising your dreams to please others often leads to living a lie, hating your life, and feeling perpetually unsatisfied and fake. Though rewarding, this journey can be challenging, especially with pressures from family expectations, peer influences, and traditional mindsets of your community or partner.
After the pandemic, I aimed to speak at the highest level, whatever that meant. This is now a truth.

Understanding the Challenge
- Family Pressures: Family often has expectations based on tradition and their experiences. Balancing these with your aspirations can be tough but necessary for your true happiness.
- Peer Pressure: Friends and colleagues might not understand your vision, leading to skepticism and discouragement. Remember, their limitations don’t define your potential.
- Traditional Mindsets: Breaking away from conventional paths requires courage. Communities and partners may resist change, but it's your life to live.
