The “AHA” Moment

My didnt’t have one specific aha moment. It comes with age and self awareness. Getting to know yourself and surrounding yourself with people who support you. Also seeing her mother creating her own business and being successful helped My realized her own potential. She saw her mother as a good role model and decided to take out the excess baggage that was bringing her down.
