Where Is Happiness?
So, I had a very chill long weekend. I visited my parents and I was pretty much just staying at home, not really doing anything. My nephews came over, and it was fun as always. I also took time to go for groceries with my mom in the morning. I started asking myself, “hey… why…

You Can Do Hard
Few weeks ago was one of the hardest I’ve had in a long time. Imagine: giving four days of full-day training to a total of a hundred people at a foreign embassy, delivering a lecture mid-week, and by the weekend, hosting a community meetup and then dropping my parents off at the train station as…

The Turning Point
At one point in my career, I was at the top of the game. I led a big team that I built from the ground up. I performed really well on my work, and I had the most solid team.. Until.. It wasn’t. When I built the team, I didn’t have much self-awareness. I thought…

Asking For Support
Okay, real talk. I see myself as a very independent person. Always have been. My default setting is “I got this,” and I’m usually really good at handling things on my own. But recently, life threw a few curveballs my way. I faced some challenges, especially around my finances and business, and let’s just say, there were…

The Gift of Silence
We live in a world full of distractions. And hey, most of the time, it’s actually pretty useful, keeps us connected and entertained. But you know how it is – we can easily get overwhelmed, our senses overloaded. 😟 These past couple of weeks, I’ve been on a mission: to really listen more to myself. Not…

It’s been about four years since I started coaching professionally, and I’ve learned so much from the people I’ve met along the way, especially from my clients. Most of my clients are highly successful individuals. They are driven and want to create a meaningful impact in the world, and I admire them so much. But…

Eid Reflection
Just few weeks ago Muslims in the world celebrated Eid. In Indonesia we call it Lebaran or Idul Fitri. It’s a moment of celebration after one month fasting in Ramadan as a spiritual practice. I love journaling a lot, especially before I go to bed. Most of the time I do gratitude journaling, some other…

Questions for Insights
Many people don’t realize that as a coach, my job isn’t to give advice or teach. To be fair, yes, there are some elements of that, but that’s not all. My biggest job of all is actually to hold space for my clients, helping them to connect with themselves so that they can find the…

Befriending Our Fears
Few weeks ago, I finally launched Project Maven! It’s a carefully curated community for purpose-driven women leaders. And today, I want to share a little story behind it.. I’ve had this idea in my mind for a very long time – in fact Project Maven had been sit in my website for two years, labeled with…

Pomodoro: A Simple Productivity Hack
Last week I felt my focus was…scattered. Maybe it was the Ramadan fasting, maybe it was working from home (well, I couldn’t just go to a cafe this time). But with all those little distractions popping up everywhere – laundry, dishes, tv, my bed (lol) – it felt like my to-do list was never ending.…
