Thereโs a question that keeps circling back to me lately. Sometimes at the end of a long day, sometimes when Iโm pouring my morning tea, sometimes in those quiet pockets where my mind finally has space to speak up. Can I truly guide someone else through change when Iโm still trying to find my own

Menopause : The Things That Women Donโt Talk About
I almost wanted to kill this article. There was an uneasiness in me as I questioned if a personal and intimate topic like Menopause has a place in LinkedIn, a business and employment-focused social media platform. Sharing this article makes me feel like Iโm going into a fine dining restaurant in a T-shirt and shorts.

A Letter to My Client L (and all women on a journey of change)
Hi beautiful, I bet you didnโt know how hard I tried to chain my own emotions as you were sharing your frustrations, tears and that deep sense of being worthless. What I didnโt reveal too is that I know this journey of change so well (too well!), because I went through it once and I

Do you find yourself constantly procrastinating on important tasks? Well, you are definitely not alone. I am a big procrastinator myself. We all know that nagging feeling when those lingering tasks on our to-do lists keep haunting us. It is not exactly pleasant, is it? So then why do we keep putting off things we
