2015 was not an easy year! My third year as a partner and I was now questioning all my choices, what I was doing with my life. Countless times, I put the children to sleep and stayed until dawn watching Mario Sergio Cortella's lectures on YouTube. There's a sentence that wouldn’t leave my mind: "Life is too short to be small!" by Benjamin Disraeli.
What did I want to live? Working almost 20 years in consulting and auditing, how can I reinvent myself? What to do? What was my cause? What moved me?
I had so many doubts that I tried to calm myself down by studying. I went to take a self-knowledge course, then I went to study Conscious Capitalism, B Corp, Ashoka and Social Business. I realized that I was not alone. I had found my tribe!
I remember a conversation with Daniel when he said: Ma, do you want to live purposefully? Hug tree? But how are we going to pay our bills? And I came up with a proposal: "Daniel – I love women, entrepreneurship and impact business. I still don't know what I'm going to do. But how about you invest in my dream? I need to live it. If after 2 years it doesn't work out, I go back to the market". He agreed – and I still didn't know what to do.
