Calmly’s Post

The past few weeks have been so amazing that I still can’t believe they actually happened. 🥹✨️ Honestly, I usually feel weird posting about things like this, worried it might come off as bragging. But I’m sharing it because it’s proof that choosing the different, often more difficult path (even when it feels scary) can be so worth it. 🫶🏻 A few weeks ago, I got to be part of the jury at EIT Health i-Days, organized by HIVE Innovation in Cluj-Napoca. Being on the other side of the jury table was such an eye-opener—it made me realize how much I’ve learned since we pitched Calmly. It also reinforced how important those lessons are when presenting ideas. Huge congrats to the winning teams—you really earned it! And a big thank you to Alina Forray for inviting me. It was such an honor! 🫶🏻 Then on Tuesday, I was part of the Startups F(o)unded by Women panel, organized by Women in Tech Cluj. The other women on the panel were incredible—I learned so much from them. ❤️ The questions were deep and really made me think about things like motivation, work, money, and purpose. Thank you so much, Georgina Lupu Florian, for challenging me with those questions and giving me this amazing opportunity. And shoutout to Petruța Țuligă (Costea), Roxana Sabau, and Irina Misca—you all shared such inspiring stories and lessons 🫶🏻🤗 Before I wrap this up, here’s a little reminder: say yes to challenges and opportunities—but don’t overdo it. Burnout is very real! Take care, everyone, and see you soon! 🤗
