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…

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…

Celebrating Meaningful Relationships

Lately, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about the people in my life. These past couple of weeks, I’ve been connecting more with my good friends, some are my “ride or dies,” others are people I see through my community, but every single connection has been so deep and meaningful. I love my friends. They…

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,…

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,…
