Hi, nice to
meet you.
For the past decade, I've immersed myself in the dynamic world of corporate communications. From crafting compelling narratives to engaging diverse audiences, storytelling has been the heartbeat of my professional endeavor. Through storytelling, I’ve had the privilege of working and connecting with people on a profound level across the world.
My life has also been a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. Despite my best life planning, I found my forever person on the second try, and by the grace of God, I became a mom to a beautiful baby boy, who instantly brought purpose to my life. Like many new parents, I grappled with the weight of perfectionism and the relentless pursuit of an idealized life. Despite my meticulous planning, I learned that life often unfolds in unpredictable ways, and typically for the better.
In moments of uncertainty, I turned to prayer, seeking clarity and guidance. And it was through this journey of introspection that The Waggle Dance was born.
This book is not just a collection of words but a heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary individuals who have shaped my life and the profound lessons gleaned from our shared experiences.
The Waggle Dance is a testament to the power of embracing life's imperfections, finding beauty in the unexpected, and surrendering to the divine path laid out before us. It's about living authentically, embracing vulnerability, and allowing ourselves to be transformed by the lessons life offers.
As I embark on this new chapter as an author, I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to share my story with you. My hope is that The Waggle Dance will inspire you to embrace your unique journey, find solace in life's uncertainties, and dance to the rhythm of your own beautiful song.
Always with gratitude,
- C
