Well, that really sucked
Back in 2019, I had a fantastic time in London. I had a purposeful job with lots of travel opportunities. I'd cycle the 30 min to work in East London every day. I'd go for lunch with colleagues and meet friends in the evening. And I had a stable long-term relationship.
One day, my partner told me he got a job proposal in Myanmar.
Would I move to Yangon with him?
Of course, I was a "HELL, YES!". I left my birth country Austria after university. And since then, I've set up life in Germany, Sweden, New Zealand, and the UK.
I was excited to try freelance consulting. I've been thinking of changing things for a long time, so this was perfect. So, I quit my full-time job in London.
Fast forward a few months, and we were settled into our apartment in Yangon. Our suitcases were unpacked. We knew where to find the supermarket, get around town and met a few people socially.
As weeks pass by, my day frees up. Tom is at work all day. He got stuck right away. I look at my calendar: no meetings, phone calls, or emails - just all this time in my hand.
As the free days become weeks, I cannot stop asking: What now? What next?
Every day, I felt more trapped. I had no idea how to unpack these thoughts and find a way to move forward. I was questioning everything – including the relationship. Until one day, I woke up without the energy to get out of bed.
I had an identity crisis.
That’s when I knew: I need support.
Luckily, I knew the benefits of coaching. So, I hired a coach to make sense of my crisis and answer the crucial questions: What's next? What do I want now? And how to make it happen?
As a result, I was able to chart a new trial on my unique life path.
That's why, as a coach, I'm passionate about supporting international professionals in the social impact space - like YOU - to design a work life they love and make it happen with confidence.
