I lost my job at the start of the pandemic, due to this I could no longer afford to keep my rented accommodation and have been sofa-surfing ever since. One positive from this situation is it's given me a chance to get in touch with myself again and think about what I would like to do going forward in life.
I wanted to put all of my free time to use in between the many job applications, so I've chosen to start a personal shopping business. I enjoy helping clients find items for those special occasions, building clients' confidence with their wardrobe, and saving people time and money when it comes to purchasing. With many years working in a luxury retail company, I wanted to utilise my experience and develop something that would incorporate what customers want.
It is early days and I'm still planning to work alongside this to stabilise my financial situation. I would like to see myself become completely independent and settled into a place that I can confidently call my home, and feel secure enough to grow my business. It's going to be hard work and balancing two different careers will be challenging but it'll be worth it. Each day is a step closer to fulfilling my journey!
I'm excited to see what the future holds for me!
