The invisible career of motherhood
What is your career plan? I stopped asking myself those questions when I decided to have children. Not because I threw my life away, but because I understood that raising children was already a long-term project. A project that would require almost all of my energy, attention, patience, organization, and emotional availability for many years.…

ON : A Silent Impact
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? Do you have a quote you come back to, without even realizing it? I do. Not just one, actually, many. They’ve been quietly placed along the way, often by people close to me. When I was younger, my father would say,…

Risk Doesn’t Always Look Risky
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? If driving a bit too fast counts, then maybe yesterday. But that didn’t feel like the right answer. So I stayed with the question a little longer. I tried to think of a real decision, something that carried weight, something I…

Not All Tiredness Sleeps Away
How do you unwind after a demanding day? Or simply… how do I recharge when the day has taken everything from me? For me, not all tiredness feels the same. I see it in two ways: physical and mental. Physical exhaustion is the easier one to handle.A hot shower or a warm bath usually does…

ON : Where though ?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? The question always brings me back to a quiet office, sitting across from a manager, filling out an annual review. Thinking about targets, planning the next steps, choosing the right training to “get there.” I’ve always been a little impressed by people who can answer it without…

ON : Happiness…
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? Do we really need something to be happy? It sounds like a simple question, but the more I sit with it, the more it makes me pause. Because when I look at my days, they are never perfectly arranged. There are always small interruptions, small delays,…

A change that changed everything
Describe one positive change you have made in your life. If I have to choose one positive change that truly shaped my life, it would be this : I learned to change the way I see people. It sounds simple. But for me, it changed everything. I used to be a little afraid of my…

ON : Best or Worst or just…
What animals make the best/worst pets? I wouldn’t consider myself an expert on this question. We haven’t had much experience with pets, at least not in the sense of animals we keep close as part of the family. But from what I’ve observed, what makes a pet “good” or “bad” often comes less from the…

ON : The work I would do anyway.
What job would you do for free? Before answering, it helps to pause on the word job. A job, by definition, is something we are paid to do. So if we take away the payment, what remains is simply work we choose to give, freely, and often more intentionally. If I reframe the question that…

ON : At five, did I even know ?
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? To be honest, I don’t remember what I wanted to be when I was five. I think that question only started to make sense to me much later, around middle school. Back then, I said I wanted to be an air…
