From Darkness to Dawn

My Journey of Letting Go and Starting Anew Owning my personal training studio for the past four years has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with moments of triumph and unexpected challenges. But the past two years have been particularly gruelling, as I found myself entangled in a web of financial difficulties following a (judicial financial restructuring). 


The debt kept piling monthly, largely due to the studio rent, taxes, insurance, and a never-ending stream of bills. 


The stress was overwhelming. There were days when I felt paralyzed by existential anxiety, and I found myself in some very dark places, struggling to see a way out of this seemingly insurmountable situation. 

In a desperate attempt to turn things around, I hired a marketing agency in France, hoping their services would be more affordable. Unfortunately, their efforts were disastrous, and I didn’t gain any new clients from their campaigns. Instead, I had to rely on the loyalty of my long-term clients. 


But even some of them recently told me they would need to either take a break or stop entirely due to their own financial constraints. 

That’s when the reality hit me: I couldn’t sustain this any longer…..


A few days ago, I had an epiphany. I realized that I needed to end this tormenting situation. So, I made the difficult decision to resign from my studio, which also doubled as my living space. I began selling my furniture, clothes, and any unnecessary material possessions. 


And you know what? I feel relieved


I feel a sense of freedom and possibility for the first time in a long while. I can start anew, and I have a plethora of ideas about how to do that. 

Now, I want to take you along on this new journey and maybe inspire you to find hope in the darkest times. 


Stay tuned as I navigate this new chapter of my life, filled with resilience, creativity, and the unwavering belief that even in the face of adversity, we can always find a way to rise again.
