I have had a passion for fashion ever since I was 12. Spent all four years in high school taking fashion classes. I have graduated and can’t see myself doing anything else besides designing clothes. I have strayed away from the path to becoming a fashion designer and want to get back on it, need to get back on it. 5 months ago

I took a giant step 3 years ago by quitting my job as an overworked, underpaid, over-traveled, harried consultant. I had zero time to myself. My relationship was suffering. Stress levels were high. I was working nights, weekends, on the plane, in the cab, at 5am, at midnight. It was insane. I just remember so many times when I just wanted time to go to the bathroom! I was running around everywhere from meetings to more meetings and then trying to find time for actual work. I finally let that all go…

I let it go because my health was more important than the money I was making that was keeping me at that job. Everyone was trying to get me to stay, but my soul wanted out. Even my husband wanted me to stay at that job because we needed my income. I remember begging and pleading one night asking him to let me quit. He had a divine moment while doing laundry and he told me that God told him to let me quit. Whoa! He’s not even religious or spiritual. To hear that from him was like hearing a dog talk.

So, I finally got the green light and everything changed from that moment on. I let my spirit guide me instead of my ego. I learned about really random topics I never would have looked into, like energy healing and feng shui. And then my family visited a healer down in Brazil and I asked him what my ideal career was. The answer that came back to me was through a man we met on the trip. Randomly in the middle of dinner and in the middle of a conversation with my parents, he turned to me and told me I should go into fashion design and go to Parsons.

Fashion design? I had never considered that profession before. It only recently came up the month before this trip. It was a really random thought and after looking at how I could transition into such a field in Chicago, I kind of gave up in the idea. But Parsons was in NY, where I always wanted to live! But I didn’t want to go back to school AGAIN! I already had 2 masters. I was schooled out.

I followed the guidance anyway and applied. It would take a miracle for my husband to be able to find a job in his field that would be a step up in the horrible job market in his industry at the time. We decided we wanted to move to NY and the miracle unfolded… Through a series of synchronicities, he found a great job that transferred us to NY! And I was accepted to Parsons a week after he received his job offer!

So, here I am. I went to Parsons for their career change program. A grueling year and half later I’m done. And now a year after that I have a 10 month old baby. I was pregnant during school and graduated a month before I had my baby.

So, now I have the degree, the baby, several internships under my belt, a studio space, now what?

In order to be a fashion designer I actually need to design clothes! And I need time to do that, so the first order of business is to put my baby into day care so that I have time to design. I want to make clothes for my baby who is now so big! She looks like she’s over a year old.

You can see my first goal – to train my baby to sleep on her own. I need to do that first in order to out her in day care. Wish me luck! 17 months ago
