Welcome, I’m Felicia

I was born in Moldova, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Given the economic crisis and our family history of repression, there was no space for joy, sadness, anger, or play. The focus was on doing, functioning, and making a living.

And so I did.

I became the independent woman.
At 17, I left home to study in the UK. Over the next decade, I lived in Canada, Austria, Russia, and Germany.

I became the caring wife.
In 2010, as a student in Canada, I met my husband. My internalised patriarch, those inherited beliefs about what I should do, was stronger than any expectations from him.

I became the high-performing manager.
For over a decade, I worked in strategy consulting and software development as a program manager, always on the fast track for promotion. A relentless negotiator, I took pride in being the best-paid person on my team, even among male colleagues.

Until one day, just before I turned 30, I woke up feeling completely lost.
Not knowing for whom I was performing.
Not being able to put in words what I really need or want.
