Thanks to Lifebook, I had a 2nd breakdown - the good kind, where I broke down my ego ...

Before Lifebook, I was feeling lost. 5 years ago I gave up my career ambitions to start a family and dedicated myself 100% to raising two beautiful children. In fact, I dedicated myself so much, that everything else apart from my kids was put on hold: my self-care, my dreams, my spirituality, my health and fitness, and most of all, my relationship with my husband, the very foundation of our life. Only my intellectual life had benefited a little bit from raising kids, but even the books I read and certification I had managed to complete (Level 3 Forest Scool Leader) were related- you guessed- to children rearing and child education. I had become so depleted, so miserable, so frustrated, so disconnected from my husband while lying to myself that I was contented being a mom and nothing but a mom, that in December 2019 I broke down, feeling my marriage was over.
Thanks to Lifebook, I had a 2nd breakdown- the good kind, where I broke down my ego that identified with being a mother: I realized how wrong I had been to relegate my relationship with my husband at the back of the priorities list. I cried tears of pain thinking how close I had been to ruining my beautiful family, and then I cried tears of joy at the realization that I could choose to believe my relationship had the potential to become extraordinary instead of believing that it was doomed. Lifebook may have saved my marriage!! 
And now, I look with joy and optimism towards the future, the beautiful life that my husband and I get the chance to re-build thanks to Lifebook. And this is not all: I have already implemented strategies to improve my health & fitness (lose weight and build muscle, get back into my pre-pregnancy shape, both for my sake and my husband's sake ), my emotional life (becoming conscious that I have thin skin and I get easily offended by certain remarks), my character (building self-discipline thru daily physical exercise, daily healthy diet & intermittent fasting, digital sunset and being present around my kids) and even my career- I now know, beyond any doubt, that the decision to start a new career is the right one.
Thank you Jon & Missy, I have a clear life vision now thanks to Lifebook and I can't wait to build it!
