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…

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…

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…

Wrapping up 2025 with love 🥂
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,…
