Beautiful. Yeah, I can relate. I can relate. The environment is everything. If you feel you're surviving instead of thriving, you need to quit. You need to leave. Because a lot of women that I guide now, some of them really start, they're really these beautiful, amazing women, high positions.
And they're still sometimes like in this environment with these political games, toxic leadership, and they stay. I'm like, okay, what's the plan? And the strange thing is that they cling, they're just holding this situation, holding...
it's holding them back they're just stuck and sometimes it's better to accept the rejection than feeling stuck i think so if the environment the toxic environment feels like a rejection maybe it's better rejection can be redirection and it's sometimes better to just leave and i think the most liberating decision can be to move on
And like you said, you need to find your tribe, you need to find your environment so you can try. But it's confronting, right? Being rejected. Why is someone toxic? It's like, for example, for women. Of course, more and more women go into leadership positions. They're needed, okay? And feminine leadership is actually based on empathy, emotional intelligence, also inclusivity. And...
I know that, and I was one of them, that it's no longer true that women need to mimic masculine or male leaders. No. I think we should embrace our strengths, lead with our authentic selves. And I think we can relate. I don't know if you experienced it, but I've experienced so many times being irritated or too emotional after just being me in stating my points in a meeting with a lot of fashion.
But it does affect you as a woman, as a person, as a human. You lose your genuine, vulnerable self because of it. And so I think when the moment you have to choose and you have to be someone that you're not, yeah, you deserve authenticity. And that's so important in a leading position that you actually not only leading position for everyone to be able to lean into your authenticity.
And that's not possible in a toxic work environment.
Yeah, Women Leaders, Help Forming Women. The reason I created Women Leaders OS was exactly what I needed at many points in my life. Like I already shared, going from doing very well to hitting rock bottom, it just leads you to a healing journey that guides you back to your true self. And you just realize that the path I realized that the path I was on was nothing like what I used to love.
It was actually far from what I believed in. And I just care too much about achieving things and what others thought of me and leading you as a high-performing woman juggling multiple responsibilities. Well, you do feel overwhelmed and you start questioning your path. When I was doing this, I started several programs, investing my time in studies, etc. Therapy, coaching.
And I realized I was alone, of course. Many women were experiencing the same struggles. And it took me three years and a lot of financial investment to get where I am now. And my belief is that it shouldn't take others three years. And it should be financially accessible. And that's why...
Besides my real consulting, like what's more my income, being an impact consulting on SEGs, supporting founders to scale sustainably, et cetera, I have this mission to do something with this recent button that the curveball life threw at me. And it is like my mission, I always love to say my mission is to help 1 million women turning life challenges into life changes for the better.
These women want to break through in their careers, but they want to do it without the burnout. They want to have more fulfillment in life. And it's possible. The world of women is my world. And I needed to heal, to see, and to deal with life's challenges. And I believe that other women can do the same. I also believe that...
There is a lot of strength and that what these times need, what the world needs for the moment is more women, okay? But women still lack internal beliefs and also support systems. So it starts really with women deciding that they are worthy and willing to change. And the women who are ready for change, I really want to support these women through my community, through my program.
So this is a 90-day coaching program, one-on-one, not just about career advancement, but like I said, about redefining success, reframing their challenges, and helping them doing it because helping them, redefining for them what it means to be at our best again. What are your coping mechanisms? How can we change them?
And just aligning professional aspirations with this personal fulfillment is so important. And these are beautiful journeys. But what I love most is actually the community. It's not the program itself one-on-one. It's building a community of all these amazing women that just are supportive for each other.
That they can learn, grow, ground, pivot, redefine, achieve, whatever in life and career together. And just knowing that there is like this community with a sense of belonging that even in this high-performing world where outside world thinks everything's fine and you're perfect, you're successful. What are your challenges?
These people also have lives, they have relationships, a family, and we all know we all have issues.
We all have, whether it's with health, whether it's with family, whether you want to repurpose and redirect and you don't know how, because you were always on this high-speed train, never slowing down, never seeing your true self, actually, uncovering parts of yourself as a woman in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, doesn't matter. It's all different phases of life.
And taking time to slow down and having people that can relate is so important. And so why I call it an operator-heating system is because it's my aspiration, and I'm building it, actually, that I can... Actually, I'm digitizing all the tools I use from life rule assessments, decision matrix, the Ikigai, of course, career path roadmaps, all these things, blueprints, happy trackers.
I'm digitizing this so it can become real tangible tools A toolkit actually that women can use whenever they want, wherever they want, and still can lean into the support of a community. So in that way, it can be financially accessible, low ticket. And those who still want one-on-one coaching, just they can jump on a call with me and then we can see if there is a match. That's what I do today.
