Hey there, itās Elisabeth today. I am glad to be back and write you a little welcome note. The past few months on maternity leave have been quite eye-opening for me. I realized I was so used to sitting in front of my laptop working all day that I forgot something fundamental: my genuine self.
Sounds weird, doesnāt it? Let me explain: dedicating my career to social impact often meant I did not really draw boundaries between my āwork beingā and my āpersonal beingā. I was always lucky to have jobs I enjoyed, plus many side volunteering & activism, and Iām thankful for that.
However, I forgot what I was capable of as a person. Just as Elisabeth. Without a job role, a schedule, a meeting to facilitate, a team of colleagues, a list of tasks on my Kanban board, or a LinkedIn post to write. These past few months reminded me of when I was in between jobs or trying to start my career. I had forgotten what I could genuinely be if I embraced a slower life pace and didnāt let my job define me. If I stopped craving for a workplace to fit in.
I guess what Iām trying to say is that even if you donāt have a job now, you are unhappy and looking for a new role, or perhaps you are transitioning to a new career phase. You are unique and deserve everything you dream of. Your worth does not depend on your job. All the best in your applications! Take it slow š
