Hey there, Big Dreamer! ✨
I'm so happy you are here!
I'm AneChoo, Architect and Career Coach (and a big dreamer!). I invite you to grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home, because I want to share something personal with you. (Heads up, I tend to write a lot 😅)
Here's my story...
From the outside, my career may look like a dream: I've worked at top architecture firms in Spain and the U.S., volunteered in Peru, traveled to incredible places,... It all looks shiny, and honestly, I'm super proud of every bit of it!! But.... my journey didn't start there.
In fact, I used to HATE my job. Not just the job, but architecture itself. I didn't enjoy it. I didn't feel good at it. I was constantly trying to prove my worth, trying to be like others, and honestly, it didn't feel right. You might be thinking, "Why didn't you just quit and study something else"?
Well... when I chose architecture, my goal was not to be a great architect, my goal was to be RICH hahah. A family friend was a very successful architect so I thought, "Okay, architecture = abundance". Boy was I wrong!!
"Abundance flows naturally when you live from your heart, doing what you love and sharing your gifts with the world"
My college years were tough: endless late nights, constant stress,... I don't know how I would have gotten through it without my amazing friends, their support made everything more bearable. But I am a determined soul and quitting was not an option. Not just for me, but for the incredible effort my parents were making to support me. I owed it to them.
So I did it, I graduated as an architect! Soon after, I got my first job, at that same family friend's firm. It was (and still is) a very prestigious firm in Spain. Great for my resume, right? I felt lucky to be there. But the reality? It was a nightmare!!!
My coworkers barely spoke to me. I'll never forget the day everyone (and I mean, EVERYONE) silently left the office without saying a word. They all came back 30 minutes later, laughing. They had all gone out for coffee, and didn't say a word to me! That was the vibe, every single day. I felt excluded, invisible and when I finally got some tasks to do, my boss would yell at me in front of everyone. I'd hold in the tears as long as I could, and then run to the bathroom and break down.
It was awful. But I couldn't just leave, the job came through family connections, and everyone thought my boss was doing me a huge favor. So I kept it all inside, until I could find a way out.
That's when I decided to MANIFEST my next job. Architecture was what I had studied, and even though I didn't love it, I was willing to try different settings, to make sure I wasn't missing something.
I'd been obsessed with manifestation ever since I took a course called "The Silva Method" during my final year of college. I knew THIS was my true passion. Nothing lit me up more than learning everything about the law of attraction, quantum physics, neuroscience, manifestation, the power of the mind, the nature of reality,...
I didn't yet know I could make a living out of it, but I knew this was my true passion.
So, I made my next job my first experiment. I got super specific about what I wanted, and started applying every manifestation technique I had learned up to this point: I made my vision board, visualized daily, worked on my beliefs,... and soon, things started to shift. Seemingly out of nowhere, opportunities would find their way to me, and before I knew it, I was working at a small architectural studio with the kindest boss and an amazing team. I felt at home. I even got to lead a residential project, completely on my own!
This job was everything I had asked for. I was amazed. Was it luck? Coincidence? Or had manifestation really worked? I needed to find out. So I went BIG.
I had a dream I'd carried for years: to live in the U.S. I never had the chance to study abroad during college, and I craved that experience. So I thought: "What if I used architecture, the degree I already had, to get a job in L.A.?" It was a wild dream, but I went for it. I got crystal clear on what I wanted and began manifesting. This one took a little longer (big dreams require big energy lol), but 18 months later... I was in LA. Visa approved, working for the exact firm I had written down, with the salary I specified, living the life I once only dreamed about.
That's when I knew this wasn't luck. I created this. It worked!!
I truly enjoyed that job. It was such a rich and expansive experience. I'll always be grateful for it. But by then, it was so clear to me that architecture was not my calling. I had tried every version of it; small firms, large firms, volunteering, American companies,... and I still found myself waiting for 6pm every day so I could start doing the things I really loved.
That was the moment I chose to embrace my true passion, and I started my own business. It was not easy, but it was so worth it. For the first time, work didn't feel like work, I loved every part of it. I was creating something from my soul, moving at my own rhythm, flowing with authenticity. No more forcing. No more comparing myself to others. Just being ME. And to me, that's what true abundance feels like.
"If you judge a fish for its ability to climb, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. "
And I have to say, every single experience brought me here. I wouldn't change a thing. If I hadn't lived through the tough moments, I wouldn't be able to help others now. So if you haven't found your purpose yet, don't stress. If you follow your heart, it will lead you straight into it. I promise.
Since then, I've used these tools not only to transform my career, but to manifest amazing things in all areas of my life.
That's why this blog exists.
To show you what's possible.
To remind you of the powerful creator you truly are.
So if you are ready to dive deep into all things manifesting, finding your purpose, doing what you love, and creating a truly abundant life... I hope you stick around. You belong here, big dreamer!
Sending you much love,
AneChoo
