It is particularly relevant if you are an experienced professional who wants to:
This is not a book about quitting your corporate job. You may choose to remain employed for many years. The objective is to build optionality around the career you already have, so that one employer is never your only option.
I am looking for honest feedback to help me strengthen the book before publication. Read it before anyone else and help shape the final version.

I was born in Mexico to a Mexican father and a German mother, grew up for eight years in Rome, and then spent more than three decades living between Switzerland and France. Since January 2026, Barcelona has been home, and I absolutely love it.
I'm a mother of three sons, two now at university, and I've always considered myself incredibly lucky. I'm firmly convinced that life is meant to be fun, with plenty of travel, mountains, good food and interesting people along the way.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me travelling, hiking in any season, cooking, or doing one of my favourite things: bringing people together around a table.
