Sharon On: From Insurance Corporate Executive to Care Worker, Doing Hard Things, Keeping Hope Alive

In this episode I chat with Sharon Maruta about her journey to the UK, How she left a posh managerial post in corporate as an Insurance Executive in Zimbabwe, and moved to the UK as a care worker, for what she thought would be a short while. Though life then threw her a curver ball, she keeps the dream alive that one day she will return to the Insurance Sector, and so while she waits for that day, she continues to keep herself relevant in the space.

I love Sharon's story, I enjoyed this interview and I completely relate. Thank you Nobu and Sharon

Thanks for watching!

Sharon is a good storyteller bakithi. Her story was touching and highly relatable but the giggles helped to stay positive. Thank you for the motivation Sharon. Adulting pushes us to make hard choices sometimes but one day we will look back and marvel at how God knew best all along. Thank you Sharo and Mrs K🥰🥰🥰. Looking forward to more of these🥰

Iam incredibly proud of you Sharon. Your decision to move from a career in insurance to becoming a carer is truly inspiring. It takes immense courage and selflessness to make such a significant change, especially when it's for the sake of creating a better future for yourself and others.Keep pushing forward, and remember that I am always here to support you. I am so proud to call you my sister.With all my love,

I'm always fascinated by how Zimbabwean parents are involved in their kid's education. In SA, lol! Our parents just want you to get a degree & build them a house

[@NobueKhumalo]

😂😂😂 this made me laugh!❤️

[@LM-he7eb]

@@NobueKhumalo My mom doesn't know what degree I have or what subjects I did in high school. Mind you, this is not some illiterate woman; I was also a cash student, so she paid for my education. Mara, no interest

[@NobueKhumalo]

@@LM-he7eb Askies! Do you wish she was more interested or have you just accepted it as is?

[@LM-he7eb]

@@NobueKhumalo I wish she was more interested. Even during my first year registration (17yrs), she transferred money into my account & told me goodluck. If I was a disorderly child, I'd have chowed the money & she would've never known.
