When I divorced, I quickly realized it was the perfect opportunity to rediscover the things that brought me joy. After years of putting my former husband's needs and his business, my career, and our home life first, it was time to put me first! One of the reasons why I felt so drained was because I ...

When I divorced, I threw myself into my work. If I'm being honest, I was already throwing myself into my work well before the separation even came. It was a way to cope. I had a long commute, and I rationalized the morning drive as a great way to connect with my peeps in Europe and the evening commu...

After going through a separation or divorce, our self-confidence can take a hit. I put on a good facade. After all, I had left, so I didn't feel I had the "right" to feel unsure. But I remember feeling insecure and unlovable, and I threw myself into my work. I worked crazy hours because that was whe...

I saw my parents get divorced after 25 years of marriage, and I thought, “I’ll never do that. If I ever marry, it’ll be for life!” Little did I know that 20 years later, I would embark on the same journey. My former husband and I had been together ten years when we finally called it quits. We had bo...

I was so caught in the hustle. I worked crazy long hours during the week, on weekends, and while I was on vacation. At dinner time, my phone was never too far off, so I could jump on notifications. I felt like a hamster on a wheel, churning and churning with no end in sight. In fact, the work starte...

Last week, we went to a dinner party. The hostess was wonderful and made all kinds of yummy foods. I have struggled with my weight since I moved to the US. Culturally, America was very different from my previous living experiences. I was 15 and felt like a fish out of water. To be honest, I was mise...

I was so dang tired. I was putting in the hours, working hard but not feeling like it was making a dent, and worse, feeling like I wasn’t making a difference. I wasn’t sleeping well. I felt like I had no time to prioritize myself, and I had so little energy that even if I had the time, I could only ...

Here I was. It was 2 am. I had been in the office since before 8 am, and I was on a conference call.

I was working for an international company in Singapore. That mea...

When I think about a time when I was happiest, it was in my childhood until I was about 13 years old. I didn’t think about the past. I didn’t worry about the future. I just lived. I enjoyed every moment. These are still some of the best memories of my life. 

You might ask, what changed? 

Well…. I ...

Sometimes we make a bad first impression.

Sometimes people hear things about us before they even know us and form a negative opinion.

Sometimes we do something stupid and we hurt a relationship.

Sometimes we encounter resistance from people around us when we try to do something new because the...

The 6 lessons I learned through numerous failures in my own life and how these are helping me in my entrepreneurial journey!

I knew I needed and wanted to give more at work, but I simply couldn't find it within me to do it. Stress was eating away at my health. I was getting sick more often and every time it was more virulent. At the same time, I was (and still am) in the best relationship I've ever had. You could say that...
