Hello! I’m Priscila, founder of Mindchitect Pty Ltd, and I’m about to tell you the story about how the company first established. It’s actually been a very long journey, but I’ll try to compile it into something of a short narrative.
In my early twenties, I was often sent for a long work trip all by myself. Sometimes for a few days out of state, every so often in some small town, and numerous times weeks in various faraway countrysides. And that’s when I got to discover the courage in me to talk to people I’ve never met before, and the passion to listen to their stories – which I love! Then one day, sometime during the pandemic, another surprise came along: I got to live for so many months in a retirement village! A beautiful house reserved for my stay with a surprising adjustable bed. An enchanting place to escape to. Mountains are only one look away from the window. Hiking tracks are just a few steps away from the door. Great blow of fresh air everyday. I didn’t know life could be that peaceful.
Along the way, I made great friends with some of the residents there, and the whole conversation with them just completely transformed my life. The lucky, lucky me was constantly receiving all the priceless wisdom and most valuable advices one could ever hope for. There were so many, I could write a whole book about it (and I actually did 😊).
Then suddenly I’d realise, some big changes in me. I started to unconsciously unplug myself from my phone. I was motivated to read and write more often than ever before. I became way more productive. And the most important of all, as I got to hear the most wonderful stories they’d share with me, I got to discover what it means to be truly happy.
Whenever hearing part of their life stories they wish they’d remember to share with their own children and grandchildren whenever they came over the next time, I’d get this idea to write the story for them and put it on the wall as a reminder. In that moment alone, Mindchitect was born.
I hope you enjoy the story! 😊
