My October Commitment
This month is my birthday month (well, it’s actually on the 15th! 🎉). To be perfectly honest with you, this year has been really challenging. I’ve found myself navigating so many life challenges, both professionally and personally. From my dad sickness, my skin health situation to my finance. I finally had to acknowledge that, yes,…

A Conversation Starter
As a coach, you know how much I love questions. And there’s one particular question that I really love to use to open a conversation with anyone, whether they’re a new acquaintance, a long-time friend, or a family member. I learned this question from Vanessa Van Edwards, and it never fails. I’ve been using this…

Loving Yourself Through Challenges
A couple of weeks ago, I facilitated a heartfelt check-in with the Project Maven community, a group of purpose-driven women leaders I hosted. It was a really nice call, reminded me that no matter our roles or titles, we are all going through challenges in life. In our call, we shared so many insights and talked about…

Embrace The Struggle
I’ve been struggling with a skin eczema condition in both hands (and it’s been 1.5 years!). I feel like I’ve tried everything, but it hasn’t gotten better. I even had some really dark thoughts about what the future looks like if it keeps getting worse. It was during one of those moments that my coach…

Input vs Output
I had a really nice dinner with a friend who was also my client last week, it was such a good catch-up. We talked about all sorts of things, from work and family to our personal growth. During our conversation, he told me how he feels the world seems so negative right now. I felt…

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…
