“You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.” – Maya Angelou A few days ago, I attended a seminar. It was supposed to be just another routine event—professionals gathering to exchange ideas, nodding through keynote speeches, networking over lukewarm coffee. I didn’t expect anything transformative. But then I met her. She was…

“The minute I heard my first love story,I started looking for you, not knowinghow blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.They’re in each other all along.” – Rumi I have personally felt as I grew through my 30s, 40s, and now moving to 50s, that our experiences, behaviours, and expectations of care change as…

“What nearly broke us becomes a light for someone else, if we’re brave enough to share.” In this journey of mine called life, I have faced many challenges today I will share one which I am proud to overcome. In the past, I used to be terrified of something as basic as sleeping, or an…

Setbacks have a way of making us shrink into comfort zones that seem safe but are, in reality, prisons of fear. I know this because I lived it. When I first entered the workforce, I was ambitious, driven, and highly competent. My discipline and resilience set me apart, yet I constantly found myself being overshadowed…

I always wonder when someone uses this word me-time, since Covid this term has become the favorite jargon whenever someone is talking about work-life balance. We all share similar fast-paced world around us, where work deadlines, family responsibilities, and social obligations take up most of our time. Many people believe that taking time for oneself…
