When You Love What You Do and You Can Call Your Colleagues Your Friends
July 16, 2025
Looking into the distance, while lost in thought, I was reminded of a quote by Mark Twain: “Find a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
How many of us can truly say that about our work?
Of course, there are always ups and downs, tight deadlines, and unexpected challenges. But with the right attitude, the right support, and a belief in the good - in people, in teams, and in the company - anything becomes possible when you work together with people who are genuinely in it to win it.
I am one lucky woman walking the path of life with pride, joy, and love for whatever it throws my way.
Holding on to a Thin Thread of Hope in Uncertain Times
June 18, 2025
The sun did rise. Things did get better. All because I held on, even if it was only by the thinnest thread.
I’m only a small particle in the vast Universe we live in - but no matter how small, each of us can play a role, create a shift, help someone feel better, and make a difference in a world that feels uncertain for so many.
Because the light always comes after the darkness.
The sun does eventually rise, and it can warm even the toughest and coldest of hearts. If you believe it.
You Don’t Have to Pot the Ball in One Shot to Win
May 14, 2025
It’s quite fascinating, how, even in the midst of intense stress or coming out of a difficult period (like a bad ball strike), we can still dream, hold on to the thinnest thread of hope, and keep believing that everything will be okay again. We plan, take action, make decisions, and move toward a new chapter, one that might still be messy in reality, but looks perfect in our minds.
Every decision we make has consequences, for us and for others. If something feels too easy, it may not bring about much growth. But if it’s full of challenges, resistance, and disapproval from others, then that’s often a sign you need to gear up with bravery, resilience, and maybe even a little borrowed conviction - especially if you truly believe in what you’re doing and where you’re going.
From Broken to Brave: The Quiet Power of Reaching Out
May 6, 2025
Diba is my number one motivator. She never gave up on encouraging me to write. She saw something in me that I was scared to believe - scared to accept was possible. I’m a natural when it comes to speaking, mentoring, and inspiring others. I find the right words, tell the right stories, touch on the key points, bring out the best in those I work with. I see their potential and send them away dreaming, taking action, and making things happen.
But writing what I felt deep inside? That was a distant dream even for me, the so-called motivator who’s brought some of her own dreams to life. And yet, here I am, writing this tonight, grateful for Diba’s belief in me.
Enduring the life that’s right for you
April 23, 2025
How many times a day do you find yourself time travelling, or your conscious mind being taken over by the unconscious? How many times - if ever - have you noticed that your unconscious mind, or past experiences, have made the decisions you thought your conscious mind was making?
Take time to calm your mind. Give yourself the chance to rejuvenate and the opportunity to connect with your intuition. Ask yourself what makes you come alive - and go do that.
Endure the life that’s right for you. There will come a day when you’ll ask yourself: Was it all worth it?
Work-Life Balance: Fact Checking – Sacrificing Now for a Better Future
April 16, 2025
It’s not always about having the best job, the best house, the best car, or the best education. Sometimes it’s more about having the best moments: the real connection, the meaningful conversation, the hug, the peace of mind, the shared laughter, the thank you, the empathy, the compassion.
I'm not suggesting that everyone quit their high-paying jobs or retreat to the mountains. But what if we paused now and then - to evaluate, reflect, and readjust? What if we did a reality check, making sure we’re not sacrificing the present for a future that may never arrive exactly as planned?
Work-Life Balance: Letting Go of the Uncontrollable
April 9, 2025
We can’t control time or other people, yet so much of our energy goes into complaining about the lack of time or the things others did or didn’t do - how they made us unhappy, led us to fail, or caused us to miss out.
But once we make peace with what we cannot control, accept things as they are, and respond (rather than react) to situations, we can begin to guide ourselves through life with more ease. Acceptance helps us navigate even the toughest moments with clarity.
It’s the small things that make the biggest difference.
Work-Life Balance: Spring-Cleaning Your Priorities for a Fulfilling Life
April 2, 2025
How long is your list of things to do in this one life? How often do reminders pop up about all the things you want to do but never seem to have time for? What are you going to do about it?
Maybe it’s time to be fair and kind to yourself. You may not be able to do everything on your unwritten or written list, but that doesn’t mean you won’t live a fulfilling life.
I chose to see it this way: I have this one life, and I want to live it to the fullest. I changed my mindset and my focus. I spring-cleaned my list of things to do a couple of years ago, and I’ve never looked back - I’ve never been happier. Any time is a good time to start.
Work-Life Balance: A Myth or a Mindset Shift?
March 26, 2025
What stage of life are you in? How often do you feel overwhelmed by tasks, obligations, and unfulfilled desires?
Consider shifting your mindset. Send uninspiring words on holiday. Celebrate completed tasks, big or small. Appreciate the little things. Welcome challenges and congratulate yourself for overcoming them. If you fail, ask what you can learn from it.
As far as I know, we get one life. We can either embrace it or get caught up in complaints, comparisons, and the illusion that others have it all while we struggle. It starts with mindset. It costs nothing to reframe your thoughts, to find joy in small moments, and to see what miracles unfold.
Tribute To Mum
March 12, 2025
Dedicating this one to my Mum, the most amazing woman I’ve known in my life.
I am a big dreamer, but my own dreams aren’t the only ones I strive to fulfil. I dream for others and with others, too!
Woman or not, challenges or ambitions, simple or complicated - whoever we are, whatever is on our minds, speaking out can spark the magic, ignite inspiration, or simply calm the mind.
My mum always made time for others. Watching her taught me the value of being there for people, and I chose my path in life with purpose - ensuring I leave enough time to do the same. Becoming a life coach just made it a little more official!
My Late-Night Conversations with My Intuition
March 5, 2025
Trust in your intuition and build a strong relationship with it. Listen closely. If you stray from your path and things don’t work out, don’t be disheartened. Your intuition won’t abandon you. It will extend a hand, help you get back up, and encourage you to start again.
Consider failure as experience wrapped in valuable feedback. If you never try - and sometimes fail - how will you ever know if a path was right for you?
Be brave. Take actions. Explore different ways forward. Don’t fear failure. Befriend your fear, embrace your intuition, and together, they will guide you all the way to victory.
Fear and Doubt - The Unseen Guides on the Climb to the Top
February 26, 2025
Fear and doubt have walked beside me all my life. But I’ve learned to keep them at bay - faint shadows in the background rather than obstacles in my path. Their presence simply reminds me that I’m growing, that I’m pushing beyond comfort zones. And so, I continue to believe, to take action, to move forward - despite them, and sometimes because of them.
Accept doubt and fear as companions on your journey. Trust the process, take the steps, and keep going.
Believe in my belief, as I believe in you - and you will get there.
Now Is All We Have – Make It Count
February 19, 2025
I practice staying grounded, especially in times of uncertainty. I encourage others to do the same. Daily life, personal worries, work stress - our challenges are unique, but they all have a way of pulling us away from the good that exists in our lives. We get so caught up in past regrets or future concerns that we miss what’s happening right now.
So, I invite you to pause. Take a deep breath. Look out the window and truly notice what you see. If needed, set a reminder to pause and check in with yourself throughout the day. In just a couple of weeks, you’ll notice the difference. You’ll feel more present, more in control, more content. “Zen,” as one of my colleagues put it!
Opportunity. Risk. Your True Calling.
February 12, 2025
When you know something, you stick with it—and it happens.
That muse, the one that connects with you on an almost inhuman level, the one that nudges you to risk, to seize opportunity, to answer your true calling—that’s when you need to take action.
It’s been connecting with me again lately, urging me toward something out of the ordinary. I’m still making sense of it. But as always, time will tell—and I’m so excited for what’s yet to come.
Ease Your Anxiety by Befriending It with Compassion
February 5, 2025
Here I am today, having achieved two dreams within two years of putting them down on paper.
Oh yes, Dreams Do Come True!
Befriend your anxiety with compassion. Reach out when you need help. Seek quiet moments to find your inner stillness. Forgive yourself and others if necessary. And above all, keep dreaming.
Five Years From Now: Building the Life You Truly Want
January 29, 2025
Get out your pen and paper and write down three things you dream of making a reality. Yes, Dreams - not goals or plans, just pure, unfiltered dreams. And when you dream, dream big! Let your imagination run free without limitations.
To uncover the truth, you need to connect with your inner wisdom. Find the voice of silence within you - the voice that speaks in the quiet moments of your heart. This requires stillness and mindfulness.
In that stillness, the voice of silence will emerge - a quiet, compassionate guide that will help you make decisions and pursue your dreams with clarity and confidence.
Pinching Myself: Finding Joy in the Journey of Life
January 22, 2025
It’s not just about where you are now or where you wish you’d be. You’re here today because of everything you’ve done. Sure, you’ve failed a few times, but you’ve also grown, helped others, made friends, and learned valuable lessons along the way.
No one’s life is perfect. We all go through hardship, but we come out of it. It’s hard to stay positive when everything seems to go wrong. But what are you going to do about it?
Will you believe that everything is possible, that there’s always a way? Sometimes you’ll find it yourself; other times, it’ll be revealed to you in the most mysterious ways. All it takes is one small action step each day - just one.

January 15, 2025
As this new chapter unfolds, it feels glorious to rediscover the joy of being present and grounded. Every moment—even the challenges—becomes an opportunity to learn and grow. Facing life with the right attitude and a clear mind makes everything more rewarding.
Mistakes have been made, lessons have been learned, and there’s no room for unnecessary negativity. The only way is up. So, bring it on—life, work, adventure, and all the possibilities that lie ahead. The journey is just beginning, and it’s one of gratitude, resilience, and boundless potential.
