Reclaim Your Life and Career—Start Living on Your Terms!
I am Noemi an Ex-Tech Lawyer turned Founder, Consultant, and Business Coach who wants to show you how to become the CEO of your Substack and your life!
Speak to anyone that ever talked to me and they will tell you I always say this:
“Me Time saved my life!”
And I want Me Time to save yours too!
Now just full disclaimer… It’s not necessarily literal the saving…
It’s more
More spiritual in nature and soon enough it will impact your career and finances
As in …
Saving you from the life you found yourself inhabiting, but that doesn’t bring you joy or career satisfaction or security.
We can do better! Much better!
That’s where Me Time comes in:
Me Time is a career redesign system that teaches you how to:
reclaim your time
build your life and career with intention
create multiple income streams
increase your wellbeing
It’s an easy system to learn.
And you choose where to start and how fast or deep you go!
But once you do start…
Ohhhhh once you start…
Your life finally feels like your own again!
Your body heals.
Your soul starts singing again! 🎈
And you find the success you never dreamed of reaching!
So welcome to Me Time! I truly hope we get to chat live one day!
Me Time Origins Story (short version):
This article is the fluffy, spiritual, side that’s absolutely needed to move to actionable steps to more income streams. You’re on Substack, so you may already have done some of this work. Start from where you need to start.
I used to introduce myself like this:
“I am an IT lawyer, passionate about privacy, AI and getting things done. I have a talent for setting up programs and processes that people can easily follow”…
Quite dry, right?
But it was LinkedIn, what can you expect?
But then, everything changed!
I decided to quit the dry lawyer persona. Be fully authentic. Open up about who I am, and stop hiding behind title, education, and other external labels (even publicly on LinkedIn).
So here I am introducing myself.
Really this time.
You will see the same on my LinkedIn (Noemi's LinkedIn Profile)
I am a lawyer by training helping startups get their compliance and contracts in tip top shape, BUT underneath it all....
It turns out, who I really am, is a dreamer!
and when I forgot this… well… everything started crumbling and I burned out.
As a child, teen, young adult, I was a big daydreamer...
Looking back now, I realised I not only was a dreamer, but that I actually chased my dreams.
And you know what? I made my dreams come true!
I took that LLM abroad!
I interned at the United Nations HQ!
I got that PAID job in Human Rights!
I got to work internationally as a lawyer!
I got to do it ALL!
But then...Some time ago…
Maybe because of the demands of work…
Maybe because of growing up, or becoming a parent…
I stopped dreaming altogether… and I replaced dreaming with climbing the ladder.
Slowly, I grew more cynical,
a little more sad, more disillusioned …
I did not understand why I felt this way because I had reached all my dreams!!!
I had the perfect job! The perfect family!
Why was I not happy????
So... after a lot of Me Time, I realised that, on the climb up the ladder, I forgot not only that I was allowed to dream, but that it is imperative to dream!
I know every single one of us is a dreamer.
You!
You reading this, you are a dreamer too!
Or at least you used to be…
Maybe you are busy now building someone else’s dream?
That’s ok…
There is always time to course correct because:
I believe there is a better way to work!
I believe we can move on a path where our dreams and the goals of the corporations we work for converge!
THAT's how you find your purpose!
THAT's how you find your calling!
THAT's where the elusive work-life balance is hiding!
And with Me Time... You too, can find the dreamer inside you, and craft the life of your dreams!
Coaching: Roadmap to Reaching your Dream Life
Me Time’s goal it to empower you to change, when you’re ready for it, the way you want to do it. (But please limit procrastination. Life’s too short to have a boring one! There’s no time to waste!).
It starts with reclaiming your sacred Me Time and banning all work, worries, or mindless scrolling in this sacred time.
Defining what your Me Time is to you and what you need it for. It can be your intentional time to rest, feed your soul, reconnect with yourself, daydream…and when you dreams are back… using your Me Time to take action. As you can see the definition should be dynamic and fit your needs.
Me Time is also time where your dreams and deepest desires will come back to you. You will jot them down and keep track of those dreams when they come to you. Nothing is too far fetched!
Then Me Time will take you through a Life Redesign Workshop where you will find a way to grab onto some of those dreams.
Me Time will be your accelerator for action giving you tools to manage your energy, to hold onto the day job while also making strides towards your dreams.
Last but not least, Me Time will challenge you to add more joy into your life because joy is what balances out all the hard things that life inevitably throws at us. Look for my Joy Boosters on notes and think of what brings YOU joy!
Below is my definition of joy.
Having Me Time to craft a plan and working little by little on it is the magic sauce you needed to make your life vibrate with hope, excitement and joy again!
You are enough and you deserve joy,
With love,
I am so inspired and encouraged by your story❣️ I am a dreamer too and starting this year I decided to follow my childhood dream to write stories that uplift and inspire others to pursue their own dreams.
