During my childhood, I found joy in dancing, exploring nature and organizing charity events. I was a very sensitive girl who struggled sometimes with crowds. A  memorable anecdote shared by my mother: during my own birthday celebration, I went to the neighbor’s house because there I could find quietness. I can’t characterize my childhood as “carefree.” My father harboured grand dreams but often left projects unfinished, compounded by his rapid descent into chronic illness. Meanwhile, my mother, striving to maintain family cohesion, worked a lot to sustain our lifestyle. Consequently, I shouldered significant responsibilities from a young age, never challenging my role within our family dynamic. It’s a pattern I frequently observe among my clients: as a child they assumed roles and responsibilities typically reserved for a parent (also called: parentification). The silver lining, however, is that through coaching, they embark on profound journeys toward fulfillment.
