A Rose and A Thorn
I watched Rental Family (with Brendan Fraser) on Disney+ the other day. It’s such a touching and real film. It perfectly captures those messy, complex, and deeply beautiful human feelings that we often try to hide. I laughed and cried, highly recommend it! It stayed with me and made me think about the space we are creating…

Who Are You Becoming?
Since we are in the month of Ramadan, and as I’m navigating an interesting phase in my life, I’ve been spending a lot of time in reflection. One of the ways I do self-reflection is by journaling. I’ve been journaling a lot lately, sometimes alone, and sometimes with a friend. I found it really fun…

I love my friends. They…

It’s been a while since I last wrote. I was away for almost two weeks, and now I’m back. To be honest, things haven’t been easy. Coming back from my trip, I was hit with a wave of overwhelm and some personal transitions I didn’t see coming. At the same time, I’ve had to face…

I can’t believe we are already in the last week of the year! I’m keeping this one short. This past Saturday, I hosted the Project Maven wrap-up event in Jakarta. If you aren’t familiar, it’s our community of purpose-driven women leaders—and honestly, it was so beautiful. ❤️ It was fun, heartfelt, and real. We ate, we shared,…

Longing for your past (or future)?
As I navigate this grieving season after losing my father a few weeks ago, I’ve been feeling a subtle, quiet grief from time to time. I feel “longing.” It comes in small moments throughout the day, a deep feeling about what I long for: a life where my father is still here, his smile and kindness…

Loving Yourself in Marriage
On September 27th 2025, I had the honor of joining the 4th-anniversary celebration of the amazing community, Marukaii Supermoms! I’m so thankful to be invited to share a topic that is very close to my heart: “Loving Yourself in Marriage.” Gathering with these amazing mothers is a reminder that in order to give, our own…

Loving Yourself Through Challenges
A couple of weeks ago, I facilitated a heartfelt check-in with the Project Maven community, a group of purpose-driven women leaders I hosted. It was a really nice call, reminded me that no matter our roles or titles, we are all going through challenges in life. In our call, we shared so many insights and talked about…
