Mark 6:31 "Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, 'Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’”
In an ever busy world, many times, we are carried away with activities.
Coaches will always tell you to show up. To be consistent and be top of mind.
However, behind the Gram and appearances is a real human.
Running from one goal to another and keeping it together.
A year ago, I returned to Nigeria after my Master's program. Same year, I juggled it with many online engagements including the Reckitt Accelerator program.
We also built, tested, shipped and grew the Preggify App to couple thousands of women the same year.
It was from one congratulations to another and more and more expectations.
Oh, we also got into the Antler Nigeria Residency, which didn't come easy.
This is about business,
A walk down my personal life as a human, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etcetera didn't go on holidays either.
The same year, I got a huge flower for my winnings. I also got a huge flower for a terrible loss.
But, I kept moving hoping that time would make everything beautiful.
However, 2 months ago, I came to terms with this scripture above.
Even Jesus would have asked me to go to a quiet place and rest.
I am glad I did take that break. Sincerely, It became so peaceful offline that I struggled to come back online as planned.
But beyond my personal desire to prolong this beautiful offline life, there is something greater than self and I must listen.
Let's say, I am back (not the Ronaldo type, though 😀)
I am here now, differently motivated and authentically present.
You will connect with me as a human with her own life, a wife and mother with real life responsibility, a doctor with almost a decade impacting health of women, a founder who has seen what good healthcare looks like and has contributed towards it or just as someone who has won some, failed at some but never quitting.
How have you been, my lady?
