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…

Celebrating Meaningful Relationships
Lately, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about the people in my life. These past couple of weeks, I’ve been connecting more with my good friends, some are my “ride or dies,” others are people I see through my community, but every single connection has been so deep and meaningful. I love my friends. They…

Rainy Days and The Math of Peace
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 loved the energy and I’m grateful for the invitation, thanks to my dear friend Dr. Savira. 🙏🏽 My career wasn’t a straight line. For years, I climbed the corporate…

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…

A Life Update (not the usual..)
Today’s blog article is a bit different. I decided not to write some insightful article as usual, but rather to share you some personal update.. It’s been a really difficult three months for my family. We have been going back and forth to the hospital as Bapak, my father, who was recently diagnosed with colon…

I’ve found myself navigating so many life challenges, both professionally and personally. From my dad sickness, my skin health situation to my finance. I finally had to acknowledge that, yes,…
