From Cognitive Impairment to Canva Creator

February 24, 20242 min read

I want to share a journey with you, one that speaks to resilience, creativity, and the unexpected paths life can take us on. It's a story about facing challenges head-on and finding new passions along the way. 

Remember that time in 2020, when the world seemed to pause, filled with uncertainties and challenges, many of us facing our own personal battles behind closed doors. For me, it was the aftermath of a near death experience with Covid-19, leaving me with a cognitive impairment that made everyday tasks and creative endeavors feel like climbing mountains. 

During my rehab period, I discovered Canva. Initially, it was just a tool to test the waters, a distraction from the cognitive challenges I was facing. But, as I delved deeper into its features and capabilities, it became so much more. Canva wasn't just a design platform; it was my gateway back to creativity, a way to clear the haze and rediscover my voice and vision.

This experience taught me an invaluable lesson: creativity finds its way, even in the most challenging times. Engaging with Canva helped me not only to navigate through the cognitive fog but also to emerge as a Canva creator. This journey was a testament to the power of perseverance and the unexpected opportunities that arise when we push through adversity.

I share this story with you because I believe it resonates with the essence of entrepreneurship itself—persistence, innovation, and the courage to explore new avenues. It's a gentle reminder that sometimes, the challenges we face lead us to discover new passions and redefine our paths.

I encourage each of you to explore new tools and platforms, like Canva, that can not only enhance your business but also reignite your passion for creativity. Allow yourselves to experiment, to learn, and to grow. Remember, every challenge presents an opportunity to evolve and to uncover new strengths.

Sharing my challenge is more than recounting my personal experience; it's about inspiring a sense of community and empowerment among us. As women entrepreneurs, we are constantly rewriting the rules, breaking barriers, and creating new narratives of success. Let's continue to support and inspire one another, celebrating our journeys and the incredible resilience we possess.

Let this story be a beacon of hope and encouragement. The road may be unpredictable, but it's also filled with endless possibilities. Keep pushing boundaries, exploring new horizons, and remember, we are all in this together, crafting a tapestry of dreams and achievements. Cheers to our collective journey of creativity, empowerment, and entrepreneurship! 🚀
