J's Bio:

Hi, I'm J. Lumen!

Some people flip houses. Others flip tables. I flip lives.

Yes, that's me - halfway around the world in a place I once believed was unattainable. A laughable, far-fetched dream...never in this lifetime. Even now, my life still feels amazingly unbelievable.

Surviving an unexpected attempt on one's life has a way of changing everything.

Before that fateful night, I remember sitting on the back porch feeling deflated and trapped in my life. Nothing horrendous, merely quiet disappointment. Wrong relationship, wrong job, wondering how I got there. I questioned if being an adult meant I had to tolerate a life that was "fine" but unsatisfying. Deep down, I knew I deserved better...if only I could figure out how and where to begin.

I got out of the relationship, then convinced myself I had to keep the job until the timing was right...someday. It never occurred to me I might not have the luxury to delay. But 2 months later, after that night, I knew it was time to stop waiting and start living!

When you break free from everyone else's rules - about how life is "supposed" to happen, whether in your personal life or the workplace - you open the door to a life you never imagined.

Ready to flip your switch and experience a transformation?
