Hi, I’m QuietCompass 🌿

A little about me - I’m almost 40 (yes, a millenial but living with Gen Zs) , and life has taken me through quite a few chapters.

I grew up in a part of the world affected by war and lived through a major natural disaster, political and economic instability, and times when even basic things like food and security weren’t guaranteed. My personal life has had its own difficult chapters too. I’ve experienced loss at a young age, complicated family relationships, betrayal, grief, financial struggles, starting over, moving countries and trying to find my place somewhere completely new.

But my life hasn’t only been about difficult experiences. I’ve also built a career, fallen in love, travelled, made mistakes, laughed a lot, met wonderful people, questioned myself, changed direction and learned that life rarely follows the neat path we imagine for it.

Today, I live in Europe and work in a global corporate environment. I’m particularly passionate about young people, careers and those moments in life when you’re trying to figure out “What am I doing with my life?”

So whether you want to talk about grief, family, relationships, work, career worries, loneliness, starting again, cultural differences, uncertainty about the future — or you simply need somewhere to put the thoughts running around in your head — I'm here to listen.

I don't have a perfect life story. I have a very human one. And perhaps somewhere in it, there’s something that will help me understand a little of yours. 🌱
