Adapting to a nomadic lifestyle on Maui's beaches, my campervan became both a sanctuary and a home.
This shift contrasted starkly with the soulful revelations experienced in Estonia. Closing a 20-year chapter in fashion design was another monumental turn in my journey.
Though I lived on a meager $5 a day, it became a reflection of internal challenges, particularly with self-doubt and societal expectations.
Choosing to start afresh after two decades, I felt the weight of finding my genuine self amidst external pressures.
Even in success, I faced inner conflict, heightened by the profound loss of my father. Such turmoil distanced me from my true self, intensifying challenges with inner critical and societal validation. Defining my core values proved challenging, leading to misalignment in life and work. Recognizing achievements felt like an uphill task, as did embracing self-forgiveness.
However, the most arduous task was shedding old stories that no longer defined or benefitted my life's path.
