from Journeys of Empowerment · host Michiel Sujeet Reith

#72 : Learning yourself through change!What a deep dive with Ilze Spigule-Buijtenweg, a community builder and VP of events at PWN Netherlands (Professional Women's Network), coach and someone who has learned to meet herself again and again through life’s many transitions!Ilze’s journey moves across countries, roles and identities. From growing up in Latvia with a strong sense of responsibility, to navigating career shifts. Entrepreneurship, motherhood and multiple periods of depression, her path is one of constant movement. Not away from herself, but slowly toward a deeper understanding of who she is. Through change, loss, reinvention and courage, she continues to rediscover what it means to truly be present with herself and others.Deep dive talking points:👉🏾 learning yourself through change: embracing life transitions as mirrors for deeper self-understanding;👉🏾 the inner critic and self-worth: recognizing the voice that clouds your truth and learning to work with it;👉🏾 navigating depression and asking for help: moving from self-reliance to allowing support;👉🏾 identity through roles and reinvention: motherhood, migration and career shifts shaping a fluid sense of self;👉🏾 connection as a lifeline: building communities and spaces where belonging becomes possible;Empowering nuggets: 🙌🏾 sometimes growth is not about becoming more, but about remembering what was already there;🙌🏾 the voice that doubts you is not the truth, it is just a thought waiting to be questioned;🙌🏾 asking for help is not giving up control, it is choosing to move forward differently;Ilze’s empowering quote:🙌🏾 “Remember, you are made of stardust just like the rest of us” How about you?What if the changes you resist are actually the invitations that bring you closer to who you are becoming?Connect with Ilze:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilze-spigule-buijtenweg/ Company: https://www.pwnglobal.net/c/pwn-netherlands
