She wasn’t even a freelancer before. She spent years buying courses that promised results—none of them worked. She was frustrated, stuck, and questioning if it was even worth it.
But then, everything changed.
She sent one simple message, with no portfolio, no previous clients—just a bold offer. And that’s when she landed her first client.
Six figures in PHP.
A deal she thought would take years to land… happened in one conversation.

In 2005, Pope John Paul II died, and the cardinals had to choose a new pope.
They went inside the Sistine Chapel in Rome and prayed hard for guidance.
After two days of voting, white smoke came out of the chimney, which meant a new pope was chosen.
The new pope was a smart German man named Joseph Ratzinger, and he became Pope Benedict XVI.
In 2013, something surprising happened—Pope Benedict resigned because he felt too weak to lead.
This was the first time in hundreds of years that a pope stepped down.
The cardinals met again in the Sistine Chapel to pick a new leader.
After just one day of voting, white smoke appeared again, and the people cheered.
They chose a kind man from Argentina named Jorge Bergoglio.
He took the name Pope Francis and became the first pope from South America.
Now we’re here again.
Inside the Papal Conclave: Where Cardinals Sleep, Eat, and Secretly Elect a Pope
When the pope dies or resigns, 100+ cardinals from around the world drop everything and rush to Rome. Why? To enter one of the most mysterious and sacred events in the Catholic Church—the papal conclave.
But have you ever wondered… Where do they sleep? Who serves them food? Can they sneak in messages? (Hint: Not even carrier pigeons are allowed.)
Let’s dive in
Where Cardinals Sleep During the Conclave
They stay at the Domus Sanctae Marthae—a guesthouse inside Vatican City. It’s just a short walk from the Sistine Chapel.
Each cardinal gets a private room, simple but comfortable. No 5-star luxury. No distractions. Just beds, prayers, and a mission.
Who Feeds Them?
A carefully chosen team of nuns, priests, doctors, and cooks. These people take an oath of secrecy—serious enough that breaking it means automatic excommunication.
Phones? Internet? Carrier Pigeons?
Absolutely banned.
No phones. No Wi-Fi. No secret messages. The Vatican even uses signal jammers to block all digital communication. And yes, even carrier pigeons would be intercepted by the Swiss Guard.
A Day in the Life of a Voting Cardinal
6:30 AM – Wake up and prepare 7:30 AM – Attend Mass 8:15 AM – Walk in silence to the Sistine Chapel 9:00 AM – Morning vote begins 12:00 PM – Lunch and rest 4:00 PM – Afternoon vote 7:00 PM – Dinner 8:00 PM – Lights out and reflection
No chit-chat. No interviews. Just focused, prayerful decision-making.
How Do They Vote?
Each cardinal gets a folded paper that says: “Eligo in Summum Pontificem” (“I elect as Supreme Pontiff”)
They write the name of their chosen candidate, fold the ballot, and drop it into a chalice on the altar.
Three scrutineers count the votes. If no pope is elected, they burn the ballots and black smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel.
If a pope is chosen, they burn the ballots with a special chemical to produce white smoke.
Then the bells ring. A name is announced. And the new pope steps out onto the balcony.
This ancient process happens behind locked doors, filled with silence, tradition, and reverence.
No phones. No cameras. No pigeons.
Just paper, prayer, and history in the making.
