Being a Grandma, SaaS Consultant, and Human-Behavior Nerd All at Once

I usually try to begin my day very early with prayer, to fuel myself with spiritual strength that will help me carry on my day. At this stage of my life, I am also doing my best to keep consistent with working out before running my errands - because I have learned that balance is not an option, it's a MUST. And taking care of our bodies, mental and emotional health is detrimental to success in all areas of life. 

During business hours I split my time into managing CRM, sales, follow up, business meetings, picking up the child from school, cooking lunch and reading things I like on my breaks - such as neuroscience articles on decision-making, communication, business and sales strategies, and other things.

The worlds I walk between

I’m a SaaS Sales and Customer Success Specialist, helping companies grow their revenue while staying human-centered. I’ve worked in fast-paced startup environments, advised on AI-powered strategies, and closed deals across markets that demand both logic and emotional intelligence, such as Coaching and Mentoring programs, and SaaS Startups.

I’m also a researcher of human behavior, fascinated by why we do what we do. I study mindset. I journal about identity. I read books on emotional regulation like some people binge Netflix. Understanding what shapes decisions, fears, and desires has become both my hobby and my secret sauce in business.

And I’m also a mother of two and a grandma. A soft place for my little ones to land. A rhythm slower than the startup sprint. A reminder that what matters most often has no KPI.

How it all weaves together

On the surface, these roles might seem disconnected. But in practice, they feed one another.

Being a mother of two and a grandma makes me a better consultant
Because I’ve learned how to hold space, how to listen between the lines, and how to stay patient through someone else’s process, even when it’s messy.

Being a SaaS consultant sharpens my emotional intelligence
Because I have to read the room, anticipate hesitation, and guide conversations in a way that respects the pace and pressure of modern decision-making

Being a behavior nerd brings depth to it all
Because I can see the fears behind the questions, the beliefs behind the objections, and the values behind the yes. And when you start to see people like that not just as clients or users or leads, but as whole human beings your work changes. It becomes less about the transaction, and more about the transformation.

What I want people to know

That you don’t have to flatten yourself to fit into a box. 

You can love tech and love silence.
You can talk strategy and still choose softness.
You can be a woman in SaaS who reads analytics by day and reads bedtime stories by night.

You can build your career without losing your soul.
And you can expand professionally while still living a life that’s deeply personal.

Final thoughts

We are allowed to be multidimensional. In fact, I believe it’s our depth, our inner contradiction, our many hats that make us more intuitive, more impactful, and more resilient in every space we walk into. I am the mom, the gradma and the SaaS sales strategist. I am also the woman who sends voice notes about psychology at 10 pm. All of those are me and I bring them all with intention. With presence and quiet power.
