My Purpose

---

I went through my very first and most intense depression at the age of 23. I was freshly graduated from business school with a Master in Business Management and Information System Technologies and started working at a very big consultancy firm. My dream come true at the time! I knew very little about myself, I simply followed the most natural path that presented itself to me. Moved to the big city, worked a lot and dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder and prove my worth.

Because of my lack of self awareness and my blindness towards the fierce competition of the corporate world and everything that it involves (working for somebody else, trading your time for money, not being able to put yourself first) I fell into a deep severe, depression. And the worst thing is: I knew the word but didn't know what it meant. I was directly put on medication without addressing the root cause and that whole cycle started again a few months after the end of my treatment. What a surprise! So I made it my mission to learn about mental health, to learn about regulating my nervous system, nourishing my body according to my needs, exercising the right way, changing my environment, enriching my life according to my values, surrounding myself with the right people, exiting toxic relationships and addressing my traumas.

I went through 3 episodes of depression to finally start understanding my mind, my body and my soul. And if I can help anyone who's feeling lost to not go through endless cycles of depressive episode, I will.
