We like to think of ourselves as rational beings — that we see the world as it is. But the truth is, we see the world as we are. Our minds are not passive recorders of reality; they are active editors. Every moment, the brain filters, selects, and interprets information to fit a story itContinue reading “The Mind’s Filter: Why We Only See What We Want to See”

When the Mind Becomes a Storm
There are days when the mind feels like an endless ocean dark, deep, and unpredictable. A single thought drifts in like a wave, gentle at first, then swelling into something larger, heavier, almost impossible to contain. One worry becomes two. One doubt becomes a chorus. And before you realize it, you’re no longer floating you’reContinue reading “When the Mind Becomes a Storm”
“If I Have to Ask, I Don’t Want It Anymore” – The Silent Cry of Women
Frida Kahlo’s powerful words to her husband are a timeless reminder of the emotional labour women often shoulder in relationships: “I’m not asking you to kiss me or to apologize when I think you’re wrong. I won’t ask you to hug me when I need it most or to tell me I’m beautiful, even ifContinue reading ““If I Have to Ask, I Don’t Want It Anymore” – The Silent Cry of Women”
Scarcity Mindset: The Ancient Story Our Minds Still Tell
For much of human history, life was uncertain. Our ancestors lived through harsh seasons, unpredictable harvests, and the constant possibility of losing what they had. To survive, they learned to store, protect, and hold on to resources tightly. That instinct kept them alive.

Trauma as a Teacher: The Wake-Up Call We Never Asked For
Trauma was my wake-up call; it hurt, but it also showed me who I AM. We don’t choose trauma. It crashes in uninvited—messy, painful, disorienting. And yet, for many of us, it becomes the pivot point. The moment everything changed. Not because we wanted it, but because we couldn’t ignore it. When it hit me,Continue reading “Trauma as a Teacher: The Wake-Up Call We Never Asked For”
The Power of Choice: A Gift to My Daughters
I did my best to raise my daughters with the belief that freedom of choice is one of the greatest gifts a person can have.

The Unspoken Realization: Finding Solace in Self-Acceptance
We spend our lives pouring our hearts into the happiness of those we hold dear. Every smile we evoke, every problem we solve for them, and every effort we make is rooted in the desire to see them content. Yet, for many, there comes a moment of unsettling clarity—a realization that while we prioritize theirContinue reading “The Unspoken Realization: Finding Solace in Self-Acceptance”
It’s Better to Focus on What’s Right Than Who’s Right
In our fast-paced world, it’s common for disagreements to arise. Whether it’s in personal relationships, workplace settings, or broader societal issues, the focus often shifts to determining who is right rather than understanding what is right. This inclination to assign blame or victory can overshadow the larger picture—one that reveals deeper truths about the situationContinue reading “It’s Better to Focus on What’s Right Than Who’s Right”
The Other Side of the Coin: Recognizing the Positives in Our Upbringing
In recent years, the conversation around inner child healing, past traumas, and difficult upbringing situations has gained significant traction. Social media is filled with stories, reels, and posts advocating for addressing childhood wounds and blaming upbringing for negative attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. While these discussions are valid and provide a platform for many to healContinue reading “The Other Side of the Coin: Recognizing the Positives in Our Upbringing”
Assumptions: The Silent Killer of Relationships
Assumptions are often seen as a mental shortcut, a way for our minds to make sense of the unknown. However, in relationships—whether personal or professional—they can act as silent killers, eroding trust, understanding, and connection.
