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…

Pivoting and Women Empowerment
This past Saturday, I had a Soul Connect call with Project Mavens, my community of purpose-driven women. I thought about our discussion this morning, while sipping my iced chocolate now in a coffee shop, reflecting on what we shared. I thought I wanted to share with you some of my personal insights. And as always, take…

I banned myself from..
Last Saturday, I spent my day at the Project Mavens gathering. Our topic was all about abundance and collaboration—and as always, it was so full of deep insights and, most importantly, full of love! 💖 So anyway.. Recently, I decided to ban myself from saying one very popular phrase: “…in this economy.” Have you noticed how often…

The Adventure of Being Me
I cooked pesto spaghetti for the first time yesterday! Well… not really cooking from scratch, as the pesto sauce was actually sent by one of my best friends Maria. She grew the basil and made homemade pesto from it. All I did was boil the spaghetti and mix it up (lol). Oh, it was so…

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.…

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…
