The relentless pursuit of excellence became a breeding ground for anxiety, a silent saboteur whispering doubts and fears. Maybe you recognize this… Continue reading The Quiet Battles of Managing Anxiety as a High Achiever

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned…
You’ve probably heard the phrase “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” It basically means: when a woman feels betrayed or deeply hurt especially in love her anger can be like wildfire. I once heard a story about a lady named Maya. She loved her boyfriend with everything time, trust, support, all of it.… Continue reading Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned…
Allowing Problems…
This might sound cringey but see it as a Simple Reflection. Here’s the thing, I just got to understand that there’s a big difference between having a big problem and making a problem big. I’ve been there. Something small would go wrong, maybe I missed a deadline, ran short on money, or had a tough… Continue reading Allowing Problems…

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? Well, I mean… at this point, I think we all deserve honorary PhDs in “Surviving Global Chaos 101.” Don't you agree? Seriously. If COVID-19 taught me anything, it’s that life can flip faster than pancakes on a hot Sunday morning and no… Continue reading Adapting to the Changes Brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic. StoryTime…
Don’t Take Rejection Personally
I’ll be honest rejection used to crush me. One “no” and I’d start questioning everything about myself. Was I not good enough? Was I wrong to even try?

Redefining Failure and Success
There was a time when I thought success was about trophies, titles, or public applause. And failure? That was falling short of those visible milestones. But life had other lessons in store for me. One day, after a project I had poured my heart into completely flopped, I felt crushed. But sitting in that moment,… Continue reading Redefining Failure and Success
Problem Solving
I’ll never forget one particular Monday morning. Everything that could go wrong… did. A client backed out, my team was confused, and I sat there staring at my to-do list, wondering where to even begin. I felt unease and wanted to panic but instead, I paused. I’m saying this in light of a significant lesson,… Continue reading Problem Solving
Failing Backward and Failing Forward
I know, this seems like a weird topic, but I think it’s important. I’ve had my own fair share and have tasted it. I still remember the moment I failed big time one of my core module required for my Masters degree certificate after having aced all the others. For a split second, to think… Continue reading Failing Backward and Failing Forward
Resistance to Change
Change used to scare me. Not in a dramatic, panic-filled way but in a quiet, subtle “let’s just stay comfortable” kind of way. I liked routines. I liked knowing what to expect. But then I hit a point in my life where comfort was holding me back more than fear ever could. A wise person… Continue reading Resistance to Change
Nothing but Victory
Let’s be honest, life isn’t easy. Challenges, failures, roadblocks… they happen to everyone. But here’s the thing: Victory doesn’t belong to the strongest. It belongs to the ones who refuse to quit. I remember a time when I felt like giving up. I was exhausted, discouraged, and convinced I had nothing left to give. But… Continue reading Nothing but Victory
