Dear Sisterine,
I want to take a moment to sit with you and share a piece of my heart. These last six months have been an intense journey: my heart divided between raising my little Allegra and running my business with all the passion I always have.
On January 2, 2025, at 1:03 PM, Allegra was born: I remember that moment as if it were now. It was one of the most intense but most beautiful days of my life. At first, it wasn’t easy; I had to learn a lot of things and had to learn to understand Allegra’s needs. But over time, day by day, it got better and better!
In the blink of an eye, I went from entrepreneur to mom. And then there’s Nico’s new life: since September he moved to Milan to study, and since June he moved to Dubai, and the silence he left at home is overwhelming. His absence is felt, but he makes these sacrifices for us, and that has made me even more aware of our love.
So, amidst meetings, suppliers who don’t deliver goods for months, and Allegra growing up in the blink of an eye, I learned something profound: our strength is within us, even when it seems we don’t have it. And I’m not alone: in every one of your testimonies, in every encouraging message, I felt the same courage and resilience beating.
But it’s from these truly chaotic moments that I pulled out simple but very powerful strategies: I learned to say no, I asked for help from friends, family, and collaborators when I needed it, I rediscovered the beauty of a caress before putting her to sleep, a break for myself in the afternoon. These are small things that recharge the batteries.
I close these six months with a full heart. I know I can’t control everything, and I’ve learned that it’s okay.
To you, my Sisterine, I say thank you: for making me feel like a companion on this journey, for giving me the strength to dare, for teaching me, every time I write, that we are never alone.
