My singing story

There was no other option: I was going to be a singer! I was going to be the new Madonna! That’s how I dreamed as a 12-year-old. In fact, I was certain of it. But life had other plans...

I had to adjust that dream along the way. Pushing in just one direction isn’t helpful when things stop flowing and start to feel frustrating. At some point, you need to take a different turn, embrace it, and just go for it! 

Nothing happens without reason, and everything is a learning experience. All those clichés—they helped me take the next steps and, when needed, change course. And you can do the same if things aren’t working out as you’d hoped.

Dreams evolve, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. 
My most important life lesson: run away from your frustrations and dare to take a different path.
Sometimes we hold on too tightly to what should work, even when it’s clearly blocking us. But real growth happens when you release that grip, turn around, and take a bold step in a new direction. Frustration isn’t failure—it’s a signal to pivot. 

What’s one moment in your life when changing direction brought you something unexpectedly good?
