Bio
Due to my health, I might be offline for some days without a warning from time to time. But don't worry, eventually I'll come back.
Usually, you can expect a response from me within 3 working days. I'm offline during weekends.
About me
Hey, I am audienta (they/them). I have been here on 7 Cups since 2017, so I have had the chance to gather a lot of experiences I am very grateful for. Sometimes life just does not work like we would like it to, but the conversations showed me again and again how resilient we as human beings are.
My own mental and physical health have been challenging me for a while now. I have had to learn how to set boundaries and listen to my own needs. There are days when I can do that and there are others where it does not work. And that is okay. We all give our best to accept and live our life.
I had the honour to be interviewed for the Living with Leaders series, so if you want to know more about me, that might be an option.
