For years, I chased gold stars. Perfect grades, leadership roles, prestigious awards, and certificates – you name it, I wanted it. On paper, I was thriving. But Inside? Now that's a different story. 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
Sometimes we don’t even notice the progress we’ve made until someone else points it out. Maybe you’ve been working out, eating better, or just trying to stay consistent at something, and you feel like it’s not enough.

I remember the first time I was asked to lead a project I had no idea how to handle. I wanted to say “yes” so badly, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t ready not yet. I didn’t just lack confidence… I lacked competence. In today's reading, John Maxwell clearly reminds us once again of… Continue reading Competence

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
Helping others win isn’t just kind it’s transformational. I remember working with someone who lacked confidence and direction. Instead of stepping in and taking over, I asked questions. I offered encouragement. I gave them room to try and even fail. And when they finally succeeded? The joy I felt was even greater than if I’d… Continue reading Help People Win
