It’s funny how the definition of an ideal day shifts as we move through different stages of life. When I was younger and working on cruise ships, my perfect day was one of pure relaxation—sitting on a sun-soaked beach, eating fresh calamari, and sipping a strawberry daiquiri. And yes, that wasn’t just a dream—it wasContinue reading “How the Ideal Day Changes Throughout Life”

Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes, it takes just one moment to change everything. For me, there have been two major life events that completely altered the way I live and see the world.
The first was in 2019. I hadn’t been feeling great, but I pushed through, as many of us do. Then, on the 7th of February, I became critically ill with sepsis. I was just 15 minutes away from not surviving. That experience left me chronically ill and changed my perspective on health, resilience, and theContinue reading “Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes, it takes just one moment to change everything.

A Journey Through Technology: From Clunky Typewriters to Powerful Smartphones
I often think back to the first computer we had at home. It was the 1980s, and we had a Macintosh, the same kind that was in schools at the time. The only reason we had one was because my dad was one of those people who went around teaching teachers how to use them.Continue reading “A Journey Through Technology: From Clunky Typewriters to Powerful Smartphones”
From Burnout to Purpose: How I Started My Business Supporting Parents of Premature Babies and Neurodiverse Families

The Psychological Impact of Incontinence: Why Aren’t We Talking About This?
This morning, as I was getting dressed, I sneezed—and that was it. Pee on the floor. And in that moment, all the frustration, embarrassment, and sadness that I’d tried to push away came flooding back. I’ve struggled with incontinence for as long as I can remember.
