There was a time I forgot how powerful I really was. Not all at once, but slowly, quietly. By staying quiet, playing small, keeping the peace. In this episode, I share what it looked like to lose myself… and the quiet, sacred journey of remembering. Not with noise or drama, but with grounded truth. The moment I stopped shrinking, started standing tall, and returned to the woman I was before the world told me to dim my l...

For years, I lived as if becoming my “best self” was the goal. Every habit, routine, and affirmation was rooted in the belief that I had to be more, do more, to be enough. But over time, that pursuit became exhausting. What started as growth turned into constant pressure. A never-ending checklist of things to fix, improve, and optimise. Until I stopped. Stopped striving. Stopped treating myself like a project. In this...

The last few days? A full emotional ride. Tears over nothing. Sleepless nights. Hot flushes, aching joints, moods all over the place. In this episode, I share what happens when you stop fighting it. When you stop trying to outpace your hormones, and instead… listen. To your body. To your needs. To the woman you’re becoming. Perimenopause isn’t a breakdown, it’s a message. A call to slow down. To stop putting yourself la...

We all know the usual journaling prompts, morning pages, brain dumps, gratitude lists. But what if you wrote a story instead? One where you are the main character. Where you let your desires speak. Where you remember the parts of you that got quiet over the years. In this episode, I share what happened when I began writing my Love Story, not to find someone, but to find me. And how, when that story had served its purpos...

Back in 2014, I started paying attention to the seasons, not just outside, but inside my life. How I dressed, cooked, rested, moved, planned… even how I decorated our home. What started as a small shift became second nature. A way of living more slowly. More intentionally. More in tune with what’s real. In this episode, I’m sharing what it means to live seasonally, and why it’s become my favourite kind of self-respect. ...

There’s a kind of wealth no one talks about. Not what’s in your bank account, but how you move through your day. How you care for yourself when no one’s watching. How you spend your time when the world feels heavy. In this episode, I share the moment I realised: Time is the most intimate thing I own. And how I use it reflects how I see myself. So I stopped waiting to be told I’m worthy. And I started living like I already ...

What if the “dream life” we’ve been chasing was never ours to begin with? In this episode, I explore why the old version of success, the highlight reel, the ticked boxes, the perfectly curated life, no longer fits in midlife. And how the real work now is not in chasing more, but in claiming what feels real, nourishing, and true. This is your invitation to stop striving and start aligning. To pause the hustle for your "best...

This is the story I’ve carried quietly for years, the one stitched together in survival, sacrifice, and sacred becoming. I share the journey of becoming a mother while losing my own, of rebuilding life after divorce, grief, and displacement, and of raising my daughter while learning how to raise myself. It’s a story of loss, of resilience, of walking through fire and still choosing love. But more than anything, it’s a stor...

In this gentle, reflective episode, I return to the mic with a quieter truth — one rooted in rest, grief, and deep inner listening. There’s no teaching or structured guide today, just an honest conversation from my heart to yours.

If you’ve been feeling emotionally stretched, tired, or like you're carrying too much, this episode is your permission slip to slow down. To remember that rest is not laziness and that you...
