Marta was living in Turkey when she became fascinated with child development while observing how her children were adapting to a new culture without the support of the extended family.
It was during her maternity leave that she started researching on how she could better support her children when transitioning to a new country.
Marta discovered Montessori pedagogy, and instantly loved how its principles would have helped her children with an holistic approach focusing on both emotional and academic development.

Marta had a brilliant International career in Marketing, but when she became a mother, she knew that she would have had to take time to raise her children and be present for them during the formative years. That's what her mum did, giving her stability and values in her upbringing.

What made Marta reflect and consider to change career was a shift of focus: what mattered then as a mother was different compared to her while an individual with an ambitious career.
She then decided to retrain to acquire knowledge about early years education.

This episode focuses on Reinvention types – Life stages

Every woman knows that maternity will have more than one impact over her life. 

Personally, emotionally and, of course, professionally. 

Many of us worry about the future of our career or job position during that delicate phase, which is becoming a mother.

But one important thing is the way we look at the impact motherhood can have on our lives.

Removing the negative connotations can help everyone to open up to new opportunities. It also helps approaching different phases of life with curiosity.

Marise was curious and motivated. 

Her love of learning and reading since childhood helped her to pursue the new journey and retrain to create her new profession.

She describes the steps like in a tale: ”Slowly by slowly following the breadcrumbs…” 

“I realized that I have been crying in my pillow every night for the last 18 years in my finance career”.  

Marise knew ‌she wanted to make a change, and becoming a mother was the kick starter of the process.

“It would have been too sad for my kids to see how sad I was in my old finance job, and I wanted to show them that you can change. When you put your mind to something you can do anything” 

Sometimes we need a big event to realize that some situations are no longer bearable and we find the strength or courage to change.

LISTEN AND YOU WILL LEARN:

• Planning and preparing to become parents was the first research Marise did that eventually set her on her reinvention path. 
• Her strengths, talents and positive mindset were the assets she used to support her commitment to the change. 
• How important it is to focus on the ego: self healing and the work on personal development were the beginning of her transformation.

Learning about Self Care and self love, feminine and masculine energy, different outcomes allowed her to design a more healthy life, filled with awareness. This process impacted all the relationships she was engaging with, both personal and professional. 

Marise’s Reinvention was led by her personal values. 

Marise Hyman drastically changed careers after her awakening when she became a mother.

• Now, As Self-Empowerment Coach-Healer, she guides women from trauma wounds to wisdom to birth the true versions of themselves, by neutralising the conscious & subconscious Limbic Imprint, from conception, gestation, birth and formative years when the sense of Self was formed & wounded.
• And as Preconception, Prenatal & Parenthood Doula, she similarly empowers families through “Conscious Conception”, pregnancy, birth and beyond so families and future generations can thrive in love.

This episode focuses on REINVENTION process

Very often we believe that the normal professional path is: we have an aspiration, we get an education, and we go out to find the job we were trained for.

Many times these paths are not linear, but include shifts. Those shifts typically happen as people make discoveries about themselves and gain new insights about their preferences.

“Ten years worth of clinical experience made in 4 years time, operating in a different system, while I was in Malaysia”

LISTEN AND YOU WILL LEARN:

• How important it is to believe in your potential and stay true to your nature, especially when tough times make you doubt. 
• We might have different parts of ourselves or skills that at first we think might not fit together, but working towards our aspirations they can all come together  
• Joining an organization, hanging with like minded people, finding your tribe helps not only the reinvention transition, but can be fundamental for co-creation, collaborations and building partnerships. Plus you have peers to support you in the process. “Shellee says: “better a big island full of people and not a little rock by myself” 
• Having the courage of being a trailblazer, opens up opportunities
• Reinvention doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. Repurposing skills and allowing creativity and inner work to happen, can be a great foundation for a new project, more true to who we are or love to do. We cover this topic in my Reinvention webinars, check here if you want to learn more.

REINVENTION TYPE: THE ONE THAT HAPPENED WHILE ABROAD

Many expat spouses believe that a move abroad will result in a detrimental outcome for their corporate career. What if the consequences of that move would be unexpected? 
Linda Mueller experienced this, she went through a change that helped her to understand more about identity, self-worth and aspirations. 

“My identity and self-worth were tightly  intertwined with my corporate career. “

In this episode, Linda shares the challenges and the surprises of her transformative journey, learning how important it was for her to be authentic and true to what matters to her. 

Listen and you will learn:

• Why stepping away from a corporate career can help you reflect on your other inner talents. Linda says she discovered her “super powers” while abroad.
• How volunteer work can be a possibility to experiment roles and highlight unused skills, and repurpose them in new ways. Sometimes a move abroad can open up possibilities.
• The importance of working on your individual VALUES, in non “Coaching language“, what is important to you, what matters.

“My first 3 years in Tokyo resulted in a crash course in personal development.”

Linda mentioned a BOOK that helped her during her process. “The most impactful book was: Is  Your Genius At Work? by Dick Richards. Once I realized  creating connections was my ‘genius’, my journey made sense to  me. “

Linda Mueller is a certified life coach and mentor who empowers expat partners/accompanying spouses to create a life they love; one that flows through the ups and downs of the expat/repat cycle. 

Linda is a former corporate climber with 10+ years of expat partner experience in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. She created a location independent career as a certified life coach and mentor while living abroad. Linda currently resides in Chicago (USA) with her husband and tween TCK.
