In life, sometimes, all it takes is a ‘why not’ mindset shift to guide us towards our true calling.
In a world where burnout is praised and celebrated, here’s a story of resilience that stands out as a beacon of hope and transformation.
Maria Pampoukidi’s life was like a perfectly balanced act on the surface, but deep down, she was feeling the pressure.
Hailing from the beautiful city of Athens, her career as a journalist-cum-editor in the beauty industry had initially been a dream come true.
She was flying to Paris almost every month, attending product launches, and getting lost in the world of creams, perfumes, and beauty rituals.
It was glamorous and exciting, at least for a year or two.
But as time passed, the glitter faded, and the demands of her corporate job began to take a toll.
The long hours, constant hustle, and the daily commute left her feeling exhausted and unfulfilled. She was living for the weekends, trying to pack as much joy as she could into those precious moments with her one and only son.
Weekdays, on the other hand, became a blur of meetings, emails, and deadlines. As she rushed from one responsibility to another, Maria realized she had lost sight of herself.
“I couldn’t even remember what MY OWN HOUSE looked like during the week!“
It was a constant cycle of work, home, sleep, repeat. The stress was becoming unbearable, and she knew she needed a change.
She felt like something was missing, a vital piece of herself that had been buried beneath the weight of her daily chores.
But life has a way of whispering sweet promises of change.
One day, while waiting for her Pilates class to start, Maria watched other women in the gym admiring themselves in the mirror. It was a simple moment, but it sparked a powerful idea in her mind.
She thought,
“We’re working out our bodies and admiring the changes. Why not focus the same efforts towards our faces?”
That thought lingered, and the “why not“ somehow led her to her true calling.
Maria jumped right into researching face yoga programs. The Face Yoga Method Teacher Certification stood out (find out more about why here).
It was a HUGE commitment, both in terms of time and finances, but something about it felt right.
Other programs promised quick fixes over a weekend, but Maria knew that real change required a deeper understanding and commitment.
There were doubts, of course. English wasn’t her native language, and the idea of becoming a face yoga teacher was a biiig leap.
But the thought that this journey could lead her to something more fulfilling, something that aligned with her passion for sharing her love and giving back, overcame the doubts.
The decision was made. Maria enrolled in Fumiko’s Face Yoga Method Teacher Certification Course and began a new chapter of her life.
Her dedication paid off, and today, Maria stands as a Face Yoga Method Certified Teacher, leading millions of women worldwide.
