My Story

I could not find a job. So I stopped waiting to be chosen.

I am an ordinary woman who ran out of job offers and decided to bet on myself instead. That one decision changed my whole life. Here is how it happened.

Where it started
Chapter One · Where it started

I did everything right. And still, not one yes.

There was a time I could not find work anywhere. I sent my CV out again and again. I paid experts to perfect it. I took extra courses to make myself more hireable. Still nothing. Not one yes.

I did everything right and was still waiting for someone else to decide I was good enough. That waiting became its own kind of cage. And I was done sitting in it.

The truth of it

I was clueless. I did it anyway.

Chapter Two · The turning point

I stopped refreshing my inbox and reached out instead.

No permission, no perfect plan. Just me, offering to help solve a problem. For the first time I was not waiting to be picked. I was the one choosing.

Reaching out to clients
One brave message.
01
I landed my first client.
I had no clue what I was doing, but I worked it out as I went.
02
A second one, that same month.
Proof it was not a fluke. Something was working.
03
Then the clients kept coming.
I was no longer waiting to be chosen. I was choosing.
Chapter Three · What I have built since

That is how I became the CEO of my own life.

One brave message grew into a full business, and that business became CEO In Slippers. Along the way I learned to use the talents I already had, the ones I had been overlooking the whole time.

Now I help other women do the same.

What I have built since

Here is what I know for certain: most women are already sitting on a skill people will gladly pay for. They just have not been shown how to package it.

Helping you see what has been there all along is my favourite part.

If an ordinary woman with a pile of ignored CVs can build this, so can you.

It is never too late to start again.

Slippers on. Laptop open. Business handled.
