When I was in business school, while my classmates were glued to Bloomberg, I was watching Animal Planet.
I was there as a dutiful immigrant "child," on the set path to success:
-> study hard;
-> go to good schools;
-> get a high-paying job.
My head had led the way to where I was—Yale School of Management.
Entering investment banking, however, marked the beginning of my realization of just how off-course I truly was.
❓ What if your heart pulls you toward a path that others call crazy?
❓ Would you be willing to pivot—to let your heart and gut take the lead?
This week, I had the privilege of sharing my story and insights at the inaugural Full Stack Business Builder Network Conference led by Peter Saddington .
During my workshop, Pivots with Purpose: Aligning Your Life, Business, and Vision with Your Values, I reflected on the transformative power of making bold life pivots to align my choices with my true internal values.
Speaking to a room of entrepreneurs and business professionals, I shared how these pivots reshaped my life and work.
For me, this has meant:
- leaving investment banking to be “just a mom,”
- choosing to homeschool my kids instead of sending them to traditional schools, and
- shifting from corporate income to entrepreneurship.
Along the way, my entrepreneurial focus evolved—from teaching money literacy with @freemarketkids ' HODL UP game, to empowering women through Orange Hatter Women Initiatives, and now teaching children through the Pebble & Wave Project.
Here are the key takeaways I shared during the session:
✅ Trust Your Gut – Your instincts are powerful guides—don’t ignore them.
✅ Clarify Your Values – When you understand what truly matters to you, decisions become clearer.
✅ Serve with Purpose – Purpose-driven work has the power to change lives, including your own.
A heartfelt thank you to Full Stack Business Builders for inviting me to speak and to Patricia Hill for moderating my session with such grace and poise.
It was an honor to connect with an audience of innovators and dreamers.
🌟Here’s to building lives and businesses that stay true to our values! 🌟
