Some news from behind the scenes: I recently said goodbye to my corporate job as an event officer. After four years full of events, creativity, and intense growth — I decided to step away. It wasn’t a sudden decision. In fact, it had been building under the surface.

It’s wild to think how much can happen in four years. It started out as a space where I could grow, connect, and explore my passion for experiences and storytelling. In my role I had the privilege of bringing people together in meaningful ways.

I’m proud of what I created and grateful for all the moments I got to be part of. But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t come at a cost. Somewhere between pushing through, saying yes too often and being dedicated to the company, I started to lose the joy in what I was doing. I felt a deep kind of fatigue that comes from being a chronic people-pleaser in an environment that didn’t always see the value I brought to the table.

The hardest part? Realizing that in the corporate world, appreciation doesn’t always follow effort. And when your energy is constantly poured outward without being refilled burnout isn’t a risk, it’s a guarantee. Luckily I stayed ahead of the inevitable burnout.

But that means… I decided to quit. ✨
Grateful for all that was and an inner knowing that it’s time for something new. And honestly? It feels right.

Am I freaking out a little? Sure.
Am I also deeply curious and excited about what’s next? Absolutely!

And now? It’s time for a summer full of inspiration and dreaming.
Maybe it’s time to build something of my own. Something rooted in trust, creativity and mutual respect. Less employer–employee. More human–human.

Thanks for being part of this space and this journey. Let’s keep chilling through the chaos and embracing the next big thing, one small step at a time. 🖤

Stay tuned. 👀
Bigger things are brewing. ☕️
