YOUR ‘AHA’ WOMAN OF VALUE MOMENT

There was a six-month period in my life where I was working in hospitality for years and lost my job. I had never been fired. They wanted to hire me in different hotels, because I had just won concierge of the year. I was about to go into the cab, but I could not get in. My body was shaking. I called and turned down the interview.

Those six months transformed my life. One of my dearest friends died of AIDS. I was away when he died. I went on unemployment. And I started traveling with a jazz artist. She paid for my travel and accommodations. I spoke French and Italian and was her tour manager. I reconnected with myself.

When I got to Rome, I had a moment where I couldn’t get out of the tub. I realized there was a transformation happening. I wasn’t happy in my marriage. I went home and realized I had to get divorced. My friend who had died had a brownstone, and I had a place to live.

Even though people told me I was crazy for leaving my marriage, I had to go. I had to follow my intuition, my inner knowing. Six months later, a guy I met when I came to Rome to study called me. He came to New York, and we ended up getting married and moving to Rome.

of value? Wanting to support the structure of my life. Married, 2.5 kids, living in the states, etc.

become more empowered? Connect with you. Look in the mirror in the morning in your eyes, and repeat, Good morning. Until you feel some movement inside.
What advice would you give to your younger self? It’s going to be okay. Do not give in. Don’t ever quit.
