🌼 27 years ago, I lost my mum. I was only 15.
She never got to see me grow up, never met her grandchildren, never got the chance to walk beside me through the biggest moments of my life.

For years I carried the ache and the question: Why did she have to leave so soon?

But over time — through deep healing and a spiritual journey I never expected — I began to understand something else.
Maybe her soul had a plan.
Maybe her absence was never a punishment, but part of a greater purpose.
Maybe she never really left at all.

This piece is my heart on paper.
It’s for the daughters, the seekers, the ones still talking to the sky.
If you've ever loved and lost, I hope it brings you the same comfort it's brought me.

💛 Why Did She Have to Leave So Soon?
A spiritual reflection on love, loss, and the invisible thread that still connects us.

I know my ex still hates me for it, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Parents, never be afraid to stand up for your children—no matter who it upsets. Their safety, their well-being, their lives come first. Always.

The Secret Word We Create

In my latest blog, I explore why some adults build intricate imaginary worlds, how trauma plays a role, and whether this coping mechanism is helpful or harmful. If this sounds familiar, you might find it reassuring to know—you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

Choosing the Right Partner!

Love is exciting, but a lasting relationship needs more than just butterflies. Before diving in, take a step back—do you truly align on values, goals, and the life you want to build?

In my latest blog, I share what I wish I knew about choosing a partner wisely—because life is too short to spend with the wrong person.

‼️Trigger Warning: Childhood Abuse‼️

Some stories are hard to tell, but silence is what predators rely on. At nine years old, I thought I was safe in a family friend’s home. I wasn’t. It took me years to find the courage to speak up, but when I did, my voice was heard.

This is my story—one of survival, resilience, and breaking the silence. If it helps even one person, it’s worth sharing.

Just because you don’t ask for much doesn’t mean you deserve the bare minimum.

You are not a burden. You are not disposable. You are worthy. 💛

Sometimes, life puts us in impossible situations where the 'right' choice feels out of reach. But does that make our actions unforgivable? Who decides—karma, conscience, or something greater? 🤔

Is this really what life is meant to be?

Wake up. Work. Pay bills. Repeat. Society tells us this is just “how it is,” but deep down, many of us feel it—there has to be more.

Were we really born just to survive? Or are we here to experience, to grow, to live?

It’s time to question, to wake up, and to break free from the illusion that life is nothing more than work and obligations. Because maybe, just maybe, we were never meant to be trapped at all.

Ghosting isn’t closure—it’s cruelty

Losing a close friend is hard, but losing them without a word is devastating. No explanation, no goodbye—just silence. Ghosting leaves you questioning everything, wondering if you ever really mattered.

People outgrow friendships, but basic decency isn’t hard. If you need to walk away, *say something.* Even a simple message is better than disappearing.

Because no one deserves to be erased.

For years, I struggled with feelings of not being good enough, constantly questioning what I had done to deserve the challenges I faced. After lots of therapy and self-reflection, I’ve come to realize that I’m not the problem—it's the people around me that don’t always see my worth.

In my latest blog post, I talk about the importance of self-realization and how setting boundaries, embracing kindness, and understanding your true self can change the way you navigate life.

If you're ever made to feel like you're not enough, take a moment to reflect on who you're surrounding yourself with and what their influence is doing to your sense of self. You are worthy of love, respect, and kindness, and if others can't see that, it's their loss. 💫

✨ NEW BLOG POST ✨

Ever told yourself “I’m never doing this again”—only to do it again? 🙃

Whether it’s overspending, overeating, gambling, drinking, or any other self-destructive habit, we all have those moments where logic flies out the window, and the “f**k it” mindset takes over. But why do we keep doing things that stress us out, even when we know better? 🤔

In my latest blog post, I dive into the psychology behind self-sabotage—how ADHD, trauma, and our own brains set us up for these cycles—and how we can start breaking free (even when it feels impossible).

P.S. Written while having a bag of Cadbury’s Whispers for breakfast. Because I live my truth. 😆🍫

💔 Teen Su***de: A Silent Struggle We Need to Talk About 💔

❗️❗️Trigger Warning: This post touches on the difficult and heartbreaking topic of teen su***de, a reality that many families are facing. If you're struggling, please reach out to someone for support ❗️❗️

As someone who has experienced the pain of su***de both as a teen and as a parent, I want to open up about the signs, the fear, and the importance of truly seeing our kids. Teen su***de is more prevalent than ever, and social pressures—especially from social media—only seem to make it harder for teens to cope with their emotions.

In my own youth, I was invisible—feeling isolated and desperate for someone to notice me and care. Today’s teens are facing even more pressure, but there are ways to help—to listen, to care, and to take threats seriously.

If you’re a parent or caregiver, it’s so important to recognize the signs, and if you suspect something is wrong, act immediately.

In my latest blog, I share:
✅ The heartbreaking reality of teen su***de and the role of social media
✅ Warning signs that a teen may be at risk
✅ What you can do if your child is struggling with suicidal thoughts

Let’s open up the conversation. Your voice can save a life. 💬 Please share if you feel someone needs to read this.
