I searched for more meaning, more impact, and made my first steps into community building with a global nonprofit focused on food and agriculture entrepreneurship, Thought For Food. At my last and biggest chapter, the House of Beautiful Business, I played a key role in growing a community of 50,000 members committed to reshaping the future of business through life-centered values, creating transformative experiences and thought leadership content, working with brands like Google, Salesforce, Volkswagen, Porsche, and others.

At the end of 2023, I left this chapter to move closer to the way I want to contribute now: less performance, more resonance. Slower, emergent, and guided by intuition.

Along the way, I have drawn from many books, movies, travels, spiritual practice and philosophy, from yoga and Zen Buddhism, especially the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village tradition, to Nonviolent Communication, somatic and movement practices, therapy, and dyad work in compassion.

All of these threads shape The Oneliness Project, my ongoing experiment in transforming loneliness. What was once a source of pain has become the lens through which I explore how we can reconnect with ourselves, with one another, and with the world we share. It is the work of humanizing loneliness, of seeing it not as an individual flaw but as a path into care, community, and new ways of relating—in oneliness.
