difficult times where everything is a little bit confusing, where we have a lack of leadership as well, a lack of sense of belonging sometimes, that the things that are happening in the world also just weigh on people. And for me, politics was maybe ignited something that was, of course, leads to something from a young age.

And of course, as a child, OK, but it's the last four years that have been transformational. Like I said, I was always on top of my game, going like a high-speed train. I had these very short and long-term goals, high on the prize, accomplishment. And then when life takes an unexpected turn, for me, in just one day, I went from doing very well to hitting rock bottom.

And that confusion, stress, anxiety, but also the rejection that came with it had such a huge impact on my mental health, life, and career that, of course, when you slow down and dig deeper and do the work,

Yeah, of course, it's connected with who is Siham, who was Siham when she was like this eight-year-old child and then in her teenager time, what led Siham to this, yeah, to this time of confusion. So for me, for example, when everything happened to me a couple of years ago, like really the big, Clack. The doors slammed shut in my face. I really tried to solve the situation with coping mechanisms.

I knew. But it made things worse. So this really led to life-changing questions. It also led to zero self-belief and confidence. And you mentioned success. For me... I personalize myself with success. But when you personalize yourself with your success, you do the same with your failures. Without success, without my work, without external validation and recognition, I felt like nothing.

I felt a nobody. And this comes from someone whose work was empowering people until they could say, I am somebody. So this was really so painful. The rejection was, I couldn't get a grasp on my life again. So I really had to put in a lot of work. after I realized that rock bottom can become fertile ground. And it became fertile ground for me. But I couldn't do this by myself.

It was my support system. It was coaching. It was therapy. It was podcasts, books, going back to study, all these things, all these programs. I decided to use this rock bottom as a reset button. And yeah, I could just rebuild from the ground up. What are your values? Politics led me far away from my core beliefs and values, so I could align back with my real values.

I could rewrite my purpose, my ikigai. I could align them with what I was doing, with my action, and I could redefine success, health. And even though it's actually this period of struggling with my mental health changed my perspective on what it means to have a successful career and to be at our best in our health, at work, in our careers, in our relationships.

And that personal journey became just this transformation to let go of a lot of things, to let go of control, to let go of my ego, the ego of my past success, I call it. Do you really want to go back to the person you were, the situation you were in?

And no, embrace the privilege that maybe the fact that you can slow down can also has led me to realizing that I am somebody without accolades and achievements. So actually, my mental health today is better than before. But before, I didn't feel it because I was so busy in my head. I wasn't in my body. So today, it's really being aligned with your mind, body and soul. It's true.
