I moved to Berlin in 2016. Having got divorced after 24 years of marriage, it was time for me to make a fresh start. It wasn’t the first time in my life that I had to pick up the pieces and find happiness again. When I was a young woman I experienced violence at the hands of a boyfriend. I now feel like a phoenix that has risen from the ashes, and in the process of finding my path to happiness, I found myself. I took long walks and wrote down what I wanted from life – what I needed to live my life to the fullest – and then I started to make my dreams come true. For example: I gave myself the best birthday gift ever, which was getting my driving licence and buying a motorcycle. I know what it means to make a fresh start, how hurtful but also how joyful it can be. Working as a life coach gives me the chance to help others on their journey to a life of happiness. By listening carefully, asking the right questions and using my intuition, I now help others who want to live life to its fullest. I am grateful every day for my new life and the awesome people that surround me.
