LOVE WITHOUT LOVING YOURSELF

Image
What if much of what you were taught about love is incomplete? What if love was never meant to hurt, silence you, or make you smaller? What if the real problem is not that love is hard, but that we have been practicing a distorted version of it? Look around. Relationships are collapsing under pressure. Marriages are breaking apart. Parents wound their children while insisting they mean well. Couples exhaust each other emotionally and still call it love.  At some point, we have to pause and ask an uncomfortable question. Do we truly understand love, or are we repeating inherited beliefs without examining their cost? This conversation matters because love is not a side issue. It shapes how we choose partners, how we stay, how we leave, how we raise children, and how we treat ourselves when no one is watching. Let us talk about love honestly, without romance, fear, or spiritual bypassing. Love is powerful and widely misused Love is one of the most powerful words in...

Life Is Waiting on You to Slow Down

Image
Happy New Year 2026! It's a brand new year and on the 1st day in the year 2026, I was just home all day engage in critical thinking and studying and these questions popped up within. What if the delay you are frustrated by is not resistance, but timing? What if life has been speaking all along, but you have been too busy pushing to hear it? What if the very thing you are praying for requires less effort, not more? These are uncomfortable questions in a world that worships movement.  We are trained to hurry outcomes, chase certainty, and exhaust ourselves in the name of faith, discipline, or ambition.  Stillness is treated like a luxury.  Rest is postponed until everything works out. Yet there is another truth. A quieter one. Life is not waiting for you to try harder. Life is waiting for you to slow down, listen, and align. The moment clarity arrived. A couple of days to the end of 2025, I stumbled on a video by Reverend Michael Beckwith on manifestation throug...

You Don't Enter The New Year By Force

Image
As the year winds down and there are just two days left, I naturally slow myself down. I always do. This period has become sacred to me. I pause. I breathe. I reflect. I take stock. This morning, I sat quietly in my office.  No rush. No agenda.  Just me and my thoughts. I looked back at 2025 with honesty and kindness. I looked at the highs that stretched my joy. I looked at the lows that tested my strength. I looked at the woman I have become, month after month, decision after decision. I thought about my health, my family, my work. I thought about stepping into new responsibilities on a fresh professional front. That mix of pressure and privilege that comes with growth. I thought about building my personal business, sometimes with excitement, sometimes with fatigue, but always with intention.  I thought about the inner work. The discipline. The days when I showed up even when it was uncomfortable. The days when growth required me to unlearn, not just learn. W...

Year-End Introspection and Retrospection: Lessons, Growth, and Gratitude as the Year Winds Down

Image
  As the year comes to a close, many of us naturally drift into introspection. We pause, we look back, and we ask ourselves difficult but necessary questions.  This process of year-end reflection is not sentimental indulgence. It is strategic self-leadership. Retrospection allows us to extract meaning from experience, while introspection helps us realign with purpose. As this year winds down, I find myself reflecting deeply on a journey that began in uncertainty and unfolded into growth, leadership, and profound gratitude. Questions That Frame Year-End Reflection Before any honest introspection, questions must lead the way. 1-Where did I begin this year emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? 2-What internal shifts mattered more than visible achievements? 3-Which moments tested my values, and how did I respond? 4+What lessons will I carry forward into the new year? 5+Who have I become as a result of this year’s challenges? These questions shape meaningful self-refl...

WHO ARE YOU WHEN EVERYTHING GOES QUIET?

Image
A Deep Dive Into Identity When was the last time you stopped to ask yourself who you are beyond the roles you play? Not “Who am I as a mother?” Not “Who am I as a partner?” Not “Who am I in my job?” I mean the real question. Who are you when no one is watching, needing, or expecting anything from you? This morning, I sat with myself and took a long look at the different expressions of my life. The mother. The friend. The media trainer. The journalist. The lover. The wife. The sister. The professional. The helper. The guide. Every version of me holds meaning, but none of them alone define my identity. Once I stripped those roles away, I asked myself: Who am I standing alone? What surfaced was simple and true. I am a woman committed to living a better life, growing through every season, evolving with intention, and bringing light to others. But most importantly, I am learning to be happy with myself—at every stage, in every version. Identity starts with that kind of honest se...

How Gratitude Rewired My Life: A Three-Year Journey of Inner Work, Healing, and Expansion

Image
My life. Three years ago, my life looked fine on the surface. I was functioning, working, showing up, meeting expectations. Yet inside, I felt restless. There was a quiet heaviness I could not ignore, a sense that I was living from effort instead of ease. I carried old emotions I had normalised for years. I did not call it trauma then. I only knew something within me needed attention. That was when I stumbled on Marisa Peer, a foremost and globally renowned hypnotherapist. It was not during a crisis. It was one of those moments when curiosity opens a door and life changes direction. I encountered her work online, pressed play on one video, and something clicked. Her language around the mind, childhood conditioning, and gratitude felt grounded, intelligent, and practical. No theatrics. Just truth delivered with calm authority. I stayed. What followed was a deep immersion. I gorged on podcasts and videos. I listened repeatedly, sometimes to the same message until it sank bene...

Losing Yourself Syndrome

Image
How We Fade, How We Break, and How We Find Our Way Back Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and realized you don’t recognize who you’ve become? Have you ever wondered when you stopped being you? Have you felt burned out, overstretched, unseen, and disconnected from your own soul? I’ve been there. And I’m going to speak from lived experience, not theory. The Quiet Question Nobody Asks Before I dive in, let me start with some real questions we rarely confront: When last did you pause and check in with yourself? When did you last ask, “How am I really doing?” Are you living, or are you performing? Are you carrying your life, or is life carrying you? Are you being true to yourself, or are you slowly disappearing? These questions matter. Because losing yourself is not sudden. It’s a slow fading. What is Losing Yourself Syndrome? Losing yourself syndrome happens when you abandon your identity, your needs, and your wellbeing in service to roles, responsibilities, expect...
