Many have told me that this was a difficult year, particularly those who had faced redundancies, job restructuring and business closures. For me, this year was unprecedented, but I beg to differ on that opinion about how difficult it was. If I had to walk through the year all over again, I would, because I believe in owning my own story.
You see, I lost my job after spending more than 10 years at it, but i had not lost my spirit. In fact, it gave me the opportunity to rest, restore my energy, re-evaluate my goals and revitalise that determination to regain control of my life.
I turned my focus back to my health when I discovered that I was suffering from hormonal imbalance and got my health back on the mend through a combination of better nutrition, regular workouts and plenty of rest.
I picked up a new sport and won Gold in my age group at the Singapore Masters Athletics mini competition.
I poured through several courses and took pleasure in that learning journey to sharpen my skills.
I reached out to old friends, and made new ones, who had encouraged me to set up my own communications practice. Very quickly, I landed myself with my first few clients for Bravery Communications, whose visions were aligned to my company’s values of authenticity. I am so grateful to them for taking a chance on me to help them tell their respective brand stories authentically.
You know what they say about things that happen for a purpose? I found my purpose because of what I had been through this year. “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do.” - Brene Brown Many have told me that this was a difficult year, particularly those who had faced redundancies, job restructuring and business closures.
