Hi, Nice to meet you!
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME AND HOW I FOUNDED SUALIA
Hi, I'm Idalien Everts, and like so many of you, my decision to go remote came from a series of events in my life.
Not sure where you are in this beautiful world, but I grew up in the Netherlands, in a small town in the North.
While my childhood looked ok from the outside, there was a lot going on behind the scenes. It was everything from perfect.
My abusive enviroment shaped big parts of me, and my younger self always wondered what true freedom would look like.
And to my knowledge, I did.
I started travelling the world nonstop, worked in different countries and continents, and lived every day as if it were my last.
I tried multiple different roles, from recruitment to hospitality, customer service, HR, and Sales. Anything that I could get my hands on.
On paper, I was doing great.
But underneath, I was struggling a lot. My childhood was catching up on me, and I lost myself in alcohol and drugs for two decades.
I had to go back to the Netherlands, where I once swore I would never return, and deal with what had happened to me. It took three years of surgery and recovery. But I was able to walk again.
And in those three years of silence, lying in bed, and nothing but staring at the ceiling, I made myself another promise;
So, I decided to build my remote business.
The chronic pain I was left with after the surgery made it impossible to keep a traditional 9-to-5.
