About Me — Naima
Helping you find your way, while I fix my own.
Sometimes I look back at who I was a month ago and I don’t recognize her. Writing is my way of leaving breadcrumbs. It’s a personal record of how I survived the long nights and the mental marathons.
I write for the version of me that will wake up tomorrow and need to remember why all of this “physical and mental effort” is actually worth it.
It all began in the white corridors of a hospital. As a polyvalent nurse, I learned about life where it is at its most fragile. In this profession, there is no room for pretense. Every decision is immediate, and every gesture matters. I have lived through moments of intense stress where calmness is the only weapon, and moments of profound empathy where a simple look replaces words. This is where I forged my resilience: if I can manage the unpredictability of a medical emergency, I can manage any professional challenge.
Yet, an intellectual curiosity pushed me further. I undertook a Master’s in Applied Economics and Finance. Moving from a patient’s bedside to analyzing econometric models was a clash of worlds, but a necessary one.
After six years of working in the hospital, the constant exposure to suffering began to take its toll. Living daily through the misfortunes of the unhealthy left deep marks on me, developing into a persistent sense of anxiety. I realized that while I was busy caring for others, I was losing my own peace of mind. I knew I had to change my path to protect my own well-being.
The birth of my baby was the final catalyst. In that moment, everything became clear. I made the decision to abandon my hospital position without second-guessing and without a single regret. It wasn’t a reckless move, but a vital one; I chose my sanity and my new role as a mother over a career that was draining my soul.
My choice to study Applied Economics and Finance was driven by a deep conviction. I didn’t just want a new degree; I wanted to sharpen my skills and gain the professional credibility needed to build something of my own.
Today, these experiences converge toward a bold project: my own consulting firm. I do not want to be an ordinary consultant. I want to be the one who brings a holistic vision, capable of understanding financial profitability without ever forgetting the human factor.
don’t write to be just another “expert” or “influencer.” I write because I am living a life of intense contrasts, and sometimes, the only way to make sense of it is to put it into words.
There is a specific kind of fatigue that comes from trying to build a future while staying anchored in the present. It isn’t always pretty, and it isn’t always “inspiring.” I write to be honest about that struggle. I write because if I don’t express the effort it takes to keep going, that effort starts to feel like a burden instead of a choice.
