I was a public enemy once..
Years ago, in a previous company, I had a great position and managed a big team. On paper, I was doing well. I was really enjoying my role and my job. But the truth is.. I was a people-pleaser. I wanted so badly to keep everyone happy, and in doing so, I hurt the people…

One Poem
Last week I talked about One Art, so today I wanted to share one poem called “Instructions Before Visiting Earth” by James McCrae. It’s so beautiful I can’t help but share it with you. If you’re feeling a little lost, I hope this poem can help you bring back perspective. After all, we are all…

One Art
Lately, my personal growth journey has been looking a little different. It’s not all about mindset courses, habit tracking, or productivity frameworks. These days, I’ve been falling deeply in love with art—painting, history, philosophy, and even the rich meaning behind local heritage like batik. Every week, I’ve been using AI as a personal tutor to…

Presence is a Luxury
On Saturday, we had our Project Maven gathering, and we talked about “Being Present.” It’s a topic that has been talked about a lot, but we tried to look at it through our current lens of life. To me, right now, being present simply means: slow down, your presence is a luxury. I realized that…

How To Navigate Transitions
I haven’t really shared this loudly, but the past seven months have actually been quite a journey for me. After my dad passed away seven months ago, my relationship ended (the one I thought was “the one”), and I had to navigate a sudden financial struggle after some unexpected expenses at the start of the…

The Alfamart Reset
I’m sitting back at my new working spot today (will tell you all about it later!), reflecting on a little shift I had last week that completely turned my mood around. That day, I was feeling kind of stuck. To distract myself, I started playing games on my phone. And even though I love the…

Creating Space for the New
We just had some extra days off here in Indonesia, I spent most of my time with my family, which is really nice. Oh, my nephews and I watched The Sheep Detective, it was really good (and oh, Hugh Jackman!)… highly recommend! 🐏 I also decided to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a…

When Your Body Says “No”
I got really sick last week. The doctor said it was parainfluenza, and it completely knocked me down. For about four days, I was pretty much stuck in bed, mostly just Netflixing and playing games. The first two days were the hardest physically and mentally. And not just that, I felt powerless and useless. 😔 As much as…

Allowing and Taking Action
For the last few months, I’ve had this huge desire to just be by the ocean. It was hanging in the back of my mind, but I kept making excuses. “Not the right moment,” “The budget isn’t there,” “Too busy.” et cetera.. et cetera.. But lately, the feeling was getting louder. During a call with…

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…
