No Agenda, Only Love
A couple of weeks ago was so much fun for me. I had many social engagements, and one of my highlights was finally meeting my lecturers’ friends in person. We’d been communicating over WhatsApp discussing about lecture and stuff, and we finally had a really nice dinner together. I also had a great time connecting…

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…

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…

Make Mistakes
Couple of weeks ago was the first lecture of this semester at the university where I work part-time as a lecturer. I really enjoyed teaching the class again, as I always love sharing knowledge. Since it was the first session, I shared about the class preparation, things like attendance, tools, discussion, and how to create…

The Stories We Tell Ourselves
We all tell ourselves stories. Some are loud and clear, guiding our daily decisions, while others whisper in the background, subtly influencing our perceptions. These stories, whether we realize it or not, really impact how we experience life and, in the end, how we create it. Okay, let’s compare these two hypothetical stories below.. Story…

Journaling For Clarity
I always love journaling, especially these past few years. I started gratitude journaling about five years ago.. Almost every night before bed, I write down all the things that I feel grateful about that day. It helps me so much to focus myself on the good things no matter what. I’ve become more and more grateful for the…
