Of these 35 years, I worked for international corporations for 30 years, from 1991 to 2021. Most of the time in sales. At the beginning I worked in the office and later looked after international customers. Düsseldorf airport was my home port. An exciting time with all the ups and downs you can imagine.

That's why I can understand double burdens:
In the 2000s, I also drove from the office to the office after work and told my ex -Supported partners in real estate matters until late in the evening. At the same time, I drove 450 km over the weekend to visit my parents, who were both seriously ill. Unfortunately, my parents died far too early.

After professional changes in 2011 - 2012, I was happy to be able to take on new, exciting tasks again at the beginning of 2013 with a renowned company.
But, there were also phases of bullying (then luckily the person was fired) and people with personnel responsibility who, let's say, weren't really suitable for it.

In 2019, my closest colleague died tragically, suddenly and far too early from heart problems. At the same time, I was on sick leave myself because I was “on the verge of burnout”. He always said “Hey lady!…” to me. So you can say that the stress level was very high. In particular, the death of my colleague was the beginning of rethinking and being more careful with my own health.
In 2021, I left the world of corporations and began my multi-year Qigong training. Through this training it became much clearer to me that the emotional and mental influence on health is an important key to holistic well-being.
