Meet the Woman Behind Irene

My childhood self was timid and introverted, struggling to establish her feet. My parents often moved to more selective schools, so I started all over and lost connection with my few friends. Despite the stress, I discovered my passion of writing.

I used to write emails friends from old schools weekly to talk about how different our new schools were. Besides keeping in contact, these exchanges were my first attempts at recording life's experiences and sharing them with others.

My teenage years brought self-esteem issues. I stopped sending emails and wrote my ideas in my diary. Writing was my escape from adolescent and adult misery.

The professional world presented new obstacles as an adult. I wanted to create an online diary but thought some things should be private. That's when I had an idea: why not write for other ladies like me? Working women seeking balance in thier lives. 

To Be Irene was formed —a digital oasis for women seeking advice, tips, and connection as they navigate life's challenges.

My name isn't Irene, lol

My name is actually Monet Noel, and I'm a 9-5 girlie with a passion for learning all I can about making life more enjoyable and sharing it.
