„Always on the Move – The Women in My Family“

In today’s podcast, we’re diving into the stories of three incredible women in my family – all of them always on the move, always active, never sitting still!

1️⃣ My Grandmother – The Baker in Zurich

Let’s start with my grandmother, who grew up in the countryside but moved to Zurich to work in a bakery. Life wasn’t easy – it was tough, demanding, and non-stop!
She was always on the move, balancing so many responsibilities:

Serving customers with a smile, no matter how busy it got.
Handling logistics – making sure everything ran smoothly.
Managing the finances – keeping the business afloat.
Working with employees – organizing shifts, solving problems.
Baking, selling, and keeping everyone happy!

She was constantly on her feet, always active, and she never slowed down – not at work, and not even in her free time. She loved walking around Zurich and exploring the mountains. She was truly always on the move.

2️⃣ My Mother – The Social Organizer

The second woman we’ll talk about is my mother, who was just as active!
She worked in different organizations, juggling responsibilities while raising three kids. But that didn’t slow her down – she was always on the go, constantly doing something:

Attending and organizing social events – always the life of the party.
Meeting new people and building connections.
Taking courses and learning new things – she never stopped growing.
Managing the household while staying active and positive.

Just like my grandmother, she never sat still, and she thrived on being busy. She was, and still is, always on the move.

3️⃣ Me – Following in Their Footsteps

And finally, there’s me. I guess I inherited this restless energy from my grandmother and my mother because I’m always on the go too! I love:

Being active – whether it’s work, hobbies, or social events.
Meeting people, teaching, organizing lessons – never a dull moment!
Exploring new places and new ideas – staying curious and adventurous.

But unlike them, I have my husband who is the total opposite. He’s the one who loves to slow things down, take it easy, and relax. And honestly? I’m grateful for that. He reminds me to pause, breathe, and enjoy life.
