Women’s Resilience: as tough as natural diamond- Alison Chan El Azar
“I’m adventurous, determined, and spontaneous”
Alison didn’t always know what she wanted in life, but she knows that she can do something big, something important. She is always working to be a better version of herself – just like a natural diamond – when it’s polished and incorporated into a piece of jewellery, it will transform into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
My Struggles:
- I was feeling dark and lost in my teenage years, as my parents got divorced…
- Thinking how to transition to the next chapter in my life and conquer the fears.
- Give up other aspects of my life for being a full-time mom and my kids.
- Who am I outside of mom, outside of my kids?
How I conquer my hard times:
- It’s okay to feel lost and have doubt in certain stages of your life.
- Waking up every day feeling motivated is just unrealistic. Do not pretend everything is alright.
- You don’t need to be perfect or a billionaire.
- It’s all about accepting where you’re at.
- Exercise and be grateful.
What I’m looking for now:
- I believe I can do something.
- I look for something on the side besides being a mom.
- I want to live a happy and simple life with purpose.
