A fascinating deep dive with Aubierge Ball-Gamthety, founder of The Way Is Togetherness, speaker, sales professional and advocate for women reclaiming their voice, visibility and power through every stage of life.
Aubierge’s story begins in Chad and Nigeria before civil war forced her family to flee to France as refugees when she was just six years old. From spacious embassy life in Africa to crowded refugee housing in Paris, she learned early that life can change without warning.
But the deepest shift came at 15, when her father suddenly passed away and she became responsible for helping raise five younger siblings while supporting her grieving mother.
What followed was a lifetime of resilience, discipline and learning how to survive by stepping up. Through marriage, divorce, migration, motherhood, corporate leadership and eventually menopause, Aubierge kept reinventing herself again and again. Not from comfort, but from conviction.
Her journey is not about avoiding adversity, but about turning every ending into a doorway toward becoming more fully herself.
Deep dive talking points:
👉🏾 Growing up through displacement: fleeing war and adapting to life as a refugee in France;
👉🏾 Early responsibility and self-leadership: becoming a caregiver and role model at just 15 years old;
👉🏾 Marriage, identity and self-worth: learning to stop seeking love through self-sacrifice;
👉🏾 Menopause as initiation: reframing this life phase as freedom, wisdom and personal rebirth;
👉🏾 Visibility and voice: speaking up for women, authenticity and leadership without apology;
Empowering nuggets:
🙌🏾 Sometimes starting over is not failure. It is life asking us to finally choose ourselves;
🙌🏾 Real confidence is not pretending to know everything. It is trusting that you will figure things out along the way;
🙌🏾 Your lived experience becomes powerful the moment you stop hiding it and start embodying it;
In Aubierge’s words:
🙌🏾 “You have wisdom, resilience, freedom, strength and power. Now it’s your turn”
Books mentioned:
📚 The Bible: as a lifelong source of guidance, belief and purpose throughout her journey;
Aubierge reminded me that resilience is not about never breaking. It is about deciding, again and again, that your story is still being written. Maybe the next chapter of your life is not waiting for permission, but for your courage to begin it!
