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,…

Longing for your past (or future)?
As I navigate this grieving season after losing my father a few weeks ago, I’ve been feeling a subtle, quiet grief from time to time. I feel “longing.” It comes in small moments throughout the day, a deep feeling about what I long for: a life where my father is still here, his smile and kindness…

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…
