The BIG Questions Card Decks
We so often find ourselves trapped in shallow small talk. Questions like, “What have you been up to?” or “How are you?” are frequently met with a polite smile and a rehearsed answer. But to truly navigate life’s challenges with grace and create something extraordinary, we need conversations that go far beyond surface-level chatter.

JOMO – Joy of Missing Out
I don’t have social media apps on my phone. No Instagram, no Facebook, no LinkedIn. Whenever I tell people this, many are surprised. Like, “How do you get information or updates from friends? Or how are you supposed to do your work?” Well… I don’t. (Or at least, not from scrolling my phone!) Instead, I find…

The Light and The Shadow
These days, I find myself really fascinated by the world of art. I think I’ve loved art all my life—whether it’s music, dancing, poetry, or painting. But growing up in a working family, I was conditioned to focus entirely on how to finish my formal education well and basically just work, work, work for success.…

Notes & Reflections from the “Design Your Life” Workshop
A while ago, in a quiet corner at Teru, Epiwalk Mall, South Jakarta, a safe space was created.

We gathered for a reason that was far more personal: 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…

Are you living by design, or just by default? Pernah nggak sih, kamu bangun di pagi hari, melihat cermin, dan tiba-tiba tertegun dengan satu pertanyaan pendek: “Apakah hidup yang sedang saya jalani sekarang benar-benar pilihan saya, atau cuma sekadar mengikuti arus?” Let me ask you honestly..

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…

Eid, IKN and Leaving The Waiting Room
First of all, Happy Eid- Selamat Idul Fitri – to those of you who are celebrating. May this Eid bring you so much love, laughter, and endless blessings. I’ve had a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends. It was crowded as always (lol), and we had the best food made by my mom! My…
