How to heal fully and properly.
Resilience
We are living in an era of crises, it is estimated that one billion people are suffering from stress-related illnesses and that number is rising. The key to resilience is staying healthy even when faced with life’s great burdens. Resilience keeps people mentally healthy despite serious crises while others break down. Resilience is a natural phenomenon that enables people to continue developing after they experience a catastrophe or traumatic event.

Why Giving Up Is Actually Beneficial
Quit? Never! That was me: I've failed to end relationships that had clearly crossed the red line, and when there was every indication to stop I still hung in there with the hope that tomorrow will be better. It’s a curse, really, and one that has brought plenty of unwanted drama into my life. But when I ask myself why letting myself give up on this relationship feels so damn hard, my only answer is that I’ll be branded a quitter without the understanding that quitting can be the positive process of choosing the path that more fully serves your highest good.

Bloom Where You're Planted, But Branch Out for the Sun: Embracing Continuous Personal Growth
The image of a vibrant flower thriving amidst adversity, pushing upwards even through cracks in the pavement, speaks volumes about the human spirit's potential for personal growth. We, like resilient flora, can blossom into our best selves, even in challenging environments. Yet, simply surviving isn't enough. Just as a flower wouldn't be content staying nestled in the shade, we shouldn't limit ourselves to merely "getting by." Personal growth isn't just about persevering; it's about actively stretching towards the sunlight of our full potential.

A Letter From The Goddess of Love
Day 28/366 days of writing and publishing in 2024. One of the most played playlists I've ever created was inspired by the recurring themes that arise during my coaching sessions with clients. It revolves around the emotions of fear, the need for approval, feelings of inadequacy, and the presence of limiting beliefs. I designed this playlist as a tool for my clients to turn to whenever they encountered these challenges. You can listen to it here. Interestingly, I found myself reaching for this playlist as well, recognizing my own humanity in the process. However, as I reflect on it today while brainstorming for a new writing topic, I realize that I haven't needed this playlist in a very long time. While I acknowledge that I may require it again at some point in the future, I no longer experience those negative emotions about myself as frequently.

Mastering Self-Discipline
In the intricate tapestry of human achievement, discipline emerges as the unyielding thread that weaves success and personal growth. It's a silent force that constitutes a staggering 90% of the journey, yet it's a facet often overlooked in the conventional educational milieu. As we traverse the corridors of learning, the art of self-discipline remains elusive, prompting a quest for wisdom beyond textbooks. Drawing inspiration from the profound insights found in "Discipline is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control" by Ryan Holiday, we unravel seven stoic lessons that illuminate the path to strong self-discipline and emotional control.

The Weight of Words
She walked through the crowded hallways with her head down, clutching her books tightly to her chest. Her footsteps were heavy, matching the weight she felt in her heart. She knew that as soon as she turned the corner, they would be waiting for her – the relentless tormentors who made every day a living nightmare.

What kind of beast is "social anxiety"?
Social anxiety, sociophobia (Some people generally confuse it with sociopathy. Hahaha, it shouldn't be like that, it's a little different!) - names that at least once flashed in your spaces of the virtual, and maybe not only, world. And as if it is so clear that this is a fear that arises in situations of interaction with other people. Almost every link found on this query in Google says so. There are quite a lot of explanations on the blogs of psychologists on Instagram and TikTok. But there are still some gaps in understanding, right?

In the end, all that matters...
Eleven years ago I finished my first novel. The person who completed that life-long dream was filled with enthusiasm, eagerness, and hope for the future of their writing career. Today, the faint specter of that youthful exuberance can hardly be seen when someone looks at me. If they stare long enough, a slight shimmer might alert them to its presence, but unless they look closely, they are unlikely to see it.

Ascension
A lot can happen in one day, let alone in one year. The year 2023 was a very difficult one. It was most certainly a year full of trials, tribulations, lessons and loss. I am a single mother of two. I have two daughters. I became a mother at the age of twenty. I actually ended up walking across the stage at 5 months pregnant with my oldest daughter. I waddled across that stage proudly! Ten years later, I was surprised with my youngest daughter. Nice gap, huh?

I laugh because I must not cry
You may have noticed that whenever there is a tragic event which doesn’t involve murder, people are quick to make comedy out of it. Whether it's a person getting into an accident, an assault, a person getting embarrassed or an unfortunate event which shows the incompetence of authorities, random people all over the internet are quick to make comedy skits out of these events. The most notable of which is the infamous Chris Rock and Will Smith slap, It seems like the turmoil of one person makes for the laughter of millions of others. This in and of itself isn't done out of malice, but I feel it undermines the bigger problem because we tend to ignore the issue which is right in our face in favor of a quick laughter. This is made all the more egregious when you consider developing countries, where such problems I wouldn't say are more important, but are definitely more impactful.
