A 42-year-old Filipina wife, mom, born and raised in the Philippines for over 30 years -beaches, sun, karaoke, family, cousins walking in without warning, sharing food at midnight because the house was full of laughter.

Life there was warm and alive. Now I live in Europe with my Dutch Caribbean husband and our two kids (my son is 19, my daughter is 12). I’ve always been that woman: jolly, generous, a little wild in the best way.

I liked being useful. I liked being “the one who can handle it.”

When we moved, everything changed. After a year apart I followed my husband here with the kids, and life became quiet. No loud Pinoy energy. No neighbours just dropping by. No “tara, beach tayo.”

It was stable here, but colder, slower, and very alone. I tried to adjust. I worked different jobs. I told myself, “You’re strong. You’ll carry this.” I’ve always done physical work — fast food, hotels, logistics. I’m not an office girl. I’m the doer, the fixer, the wife and mom who just gets it done.

Fast forward to my early 40s, I’m now a wife and mother of two. After moving to Europe, adjusting to a new culture and learning a new language, life was a huge transition from my traditional background to the fast-paced city life.

Working physically demanding jobs took a toll on my body, eventually leading to an injury, poor health, and a sad, dark phase of my life.

But that hardship didn’t define me. When I transitioned to becoming a stay-at-home and work-at-home mom, I found the strength to heal and reinvent myself. My path led me to digital marketing, where I discovered new opportunities and unlocked my potential, even without a technical background. It gave me hope, confidence, and a fresh perspective that it’s never too late to chase your dreams.
