ABOUT ME
As a woman, like so many of you, I have lived in masculine structures for a very long time. I say this nonjudgmentally because I love masculinity, male strength and the powerful role of men in our world.
But as a woman, for many years I was only connected to this masculine power and not to my feminine side. It all started during my studies: I studied business administration, where numbers, data and facts mattered. Then followed my career in large global corporations, a successful job, always more than enough money, the great apartment in the middle of Munich - I had everything that we think we want in our western world.
You can probably already guess what took me a long time to discover: I was missing something the whole time. And no, even if I thought so at first, it wasn't the partner at my side and it wasn't the next step in my career either. There was a kind of purpose in what I was doing, but I didn't allow myself to really listen for a long time.
A few years ago I was in Bali. It was there that I felt the freedom that could be possible for the first time... and with that came all the fear and doubt that I'm sure some of you are familiar with. Because once I've felt that freedom... what if I can't go back?
That's how it was then. Although I continued to work in my successful job, my intuition was unleashed, suddenly so strong that I could no longer ignore it. And now? Drop everything and start over? After more than 10 years of successful career?
Ultimately, that's exactly what I did. I quit my job and just went traveling for a year – luckily I was able to do that thanks to my good income. It was as if I had opened all the floodgates: the call, which I had only felt very faintly before, was now so loud that I had to listen. And wanted.
