small town. I was born and raised under communist regime, so not much freedom out there. But as communist regime collapsed, I finished university. And at that time, Poland was going through a lot of reforms, 20% unemployment, really hard on the society. I had a job and sales, but it was like $300 a month. And my big dreams, like, okay, that doesn't match to the dreams.

So I found through a friend, an immigration program from Canada, and I speak French and English. It helps. So I applied. We immigrated with my first husband at the time.

Long-term goal is really to make as big of an impact to this business as possible. The business idea really came, I was about 40 at a time. So it's like a midlife crisis. It's saying, okay, well, if I'm going to start this thing, I really want it to be something I'm passionate about, something where I can make a big impact. So that's what I want to do.

One of the biggest, there was a few, but I think one of the most challenging ones to overcome was actually my divorce. Yeah. It's because it was my idea. You know, I had a good husband. He was, he's a good man. It wasn't like, you know, there was abuse or anything. Yeah. And as women, we're sometimes conditioned, like, what do you mean? You have this good person. Yeah, sure. And I leave it.
