Beyond Limits: My Story of Reinvention on Hive [ENG]
Hello! My name is Lisbeth Carolina Sánchez, but many know me as Carol. I’m 55 years old and have a deep passion for learning. Throughout my life, I have explored various fields of knowledge, earning dual degrees in health and art, along with technical training in marketing and advertising. I consider myself a lifelong learner, always seeking new challenges to grow and become the best version of myself.
Today, I’m excited to be part of Hive, a constantly evolving community that allows us to connect, learn, and share experiences with people from all over the world.
Digital assets have changed the way we communicate and build communities, and Hive is a great example of this. Here, I found a space full of opportunities where content has real value and can impact thousands of people.
I’m ready for this new adventure and look forward to contributing and learning along the way.
My Life Before and After an Unexpected Turn
From a young age, I had a clear calling: healthcare. I am a licensed nurse and a specialist in surgical instrumentation, a profession I practiced passionately for over 15 years. However, one day, my life changed completely when I contracted the hepatitis A virus.
What began as a manageable illness quickly escalated into fulminant hepatitis A, bringing me to the brink of death. For weeks, my body weakened, and my mind was consumed by fear and despair.
But at my most critical moment, I made a decision that changed my destiny: not to give up. I thought of my family, my children, and everything I still wanted to achieve. My mind clung to the idea of moving forward, and little by little, my body responded.
It was a tough battle, but also the turning point that pushed me to reinvent myself.
New Passions and the Power of Reinvention
Water as My Refuge: Swimming 🏊♀️
After overcoming my illness, I realized I needed to care for both my body and mind. I searched for an activity to help me heal, and that’s how I discovered swimming.
Interestingly, I didn’t know how to swim, but that didn’t stop me. I have always believed in the phrase:
👉 "If there’s a will, there’s a way."
I jumped into the water without fear and soon discovered that swimming was more than just physical exercise: it became my space for meditation, my way to release tension, and connect with myself.
💡 Tip: If you’re looking for an activity that helps you start the day with energy and balance, try swimming! Water has an incredible healing power.
From the Operating Room to Art: My Journey into Graphic Design
During my transformation process, another great passion entered my life: art. With no prior knowledge of technology or design, I decided to venture into graphic design.
Inspired by great artists like Vincent van Gogh (Impressionism) and Alphonse Mucha (Art Nouveau), I began experimenting with digital creativity.
Since then, art has become my new form of expression and a powerful tool to transform ideas into images.
Lesson learned: It’s never too late to learn something new. Technology and art can open doors we never imagined.
I’d love for the community to help me find the right tags to talk about health, sports, nutrition, art, and graphic design.

How Did I Find Hive?
I’ve always been curious and love discovering new opportunities. While searching for ways to grow in the digital world, I came across Hive and was fascinated by the concept of a blockchain-based platform where content has real value and creators have freedom through decentralization.
While researching, I found valuable resources on YouTube that became my first learning tool for the platform. Thanks to the videos from @nerdvana (Learn About Hive with Miguel) and @splinterdany (Splinterdany), I understood Hive’s mechanics and potential for sharing content and connecting with like-minded people.
What attracted me most to Hive was its active community and appreciation for authentic content. As I explored more, I realized this was the perfect place to share my journey of resilience, art, and learning.
Now, I want to keep learning, connect with other creators, and receive advice from experienced Hive members. I’m excited about what’s coming!
