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…

Who Are You Becoming?

Since we are in the month of Ramadan, and as I’m navigating an interesting phase in my life, I’ve been spending a lot of time in reflection. One of the ways I do self-reflection is by journaling. I’ve been journaling a lot lately, sometimes alone, and sometimes with a friend. I found it really fun…

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…

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…

A Life Update (not the usual..)

Today’s blog article is a bit different. I decided not to write some insightful article as usual, but rather to share you some personal update.. It’s been a really difficult three months for my family. We have been going back and forth to the hospital as Bapak, my father, who was recently diagnosed with colon…

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,…

The BIG Questions

I had so much fun at the Jakarta Mindvalley community meetup couple of weeks ago. It’s always inspiring to connect with like-minded people, and we actually played a game with my fun side project, THE BIG QUESTIONS—a card deck of 52 questions designed to help you transform your life and build meaningful connections, one question…
