In our latest podcast episode, Alice and I sat down to share the incredible journeys that brought us to where we are today. As someone who transitioned from a career in computer science to becoming a mindfulness coach, and Alice, who shifted from creative writing to becoming a creative rest facilitator, our paths may seem worlds apart.

Yet, they intersect beautifully in the realm of mindfulness, yoga, and art.

Our Journeys: From Different Worlds to a Shared Purpose

I, Maria, began my career deep in the tech world, specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Meanwhile, Alice started her journey immersed in the world of creative writing and literature, eventually moving into secondary school teaching. Despite our different beginnings, we both experienced moments of powerful awareness that led us to reimagine our professional lives.

I transitioned from being a computer scientist to an agile coach and later combined my passion for mindfulness with coaching, creating a fulfilling new career path.

Similarly, Alice found her calling in facilitating mindful art and creative rest sessions, helping people reconnect with their inner creativity and peace.

The Role of Mindfulness and Art in Our Transformations

Throughout our journeys, mindfulness practices and art therapy have played crucial roles in grounding us, fostering self-awareness, and guiding our professional transformations.

In this episode, we dive into how these practices have reshaped our lives and how they can do the same for leaders and organizations.

We believe that mindfulness, when combined with creative expression, can be a powerful tool for personal and professional growth.
