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…

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…

Creating Space for the New
We just had some extra days off here in Indonesia, I spent most of my time with my family, which is really nice. Oh, my nephews and I watched The Sheep Detective, it was really good (and oh, Hugh Jackman!)… highly recommend! 🐏 I also decided to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a…

When Your Body Says “No”
I got really sick last week. The doctor said it was parainfluenza, and it completely knocked me down. For about four days, I was pretty much stuck in bed, mostly just Netflixing and playing games. The first two days were the hardest physically and mentally. And not just that, I felt powerless and useless. 😔 As much as…
