The Mindset Shift That Saved My Life
When Life Felt Too Heavy to Hold There was a time when waking up felt like lifting a mountain. Not because anything dramatic happened—there was no big crisis, no sudden catastrophe—but because everything inside me slowly dimmed until I could barely see a way forward.

The Hidden Costs of Hustling. Top Story - December 2025.
People do not need to be reminded of the murky, colourless and dull picture of what burnout resembles, of either 'taking on too much' or 'hustling too hard.' I truly get it. Burnout is real for both entrepreneurs and employees alike; and when we push our bodies to the brink - aches and pains, and perhaps a few viral infections and mental exhaustion (only to name) come knocking on your domain. And these pesky guests do not give two hoots as to whether or not they are invited to the party - let alone into your own personal space. Life is expensive, and it is only becoming more commonplace and familiar. It is important to put in the effort, yet that effort needs to be inspired. It does not matter what line of work you engage in, provided you are in the flow. The healing starts with you in getting to the bottom of your trauma and inner child. Doing the inner work.

The Art of Becoming Unshakeable
Life rarely announces when it’s about to test you. One moment you’re moving forward confidently, and the next, something hits you from an angle you never expected. People tend to believe strength comes from being naturally tough, but the truth works in a quieter and far more interesting way: strength is built in layers, through choices you make every day, and through the tiny battles no one sees. Becoming unshakeable is not a personality trait — it’s a psychological skill set.

Dialogues Across Time. AI-Generated.
I feel we are at the corner of something revolutionary and yet evolutionarily necessitated. Some psychologists acknowledge only the past century as a time for our field when it has been alive and well, but giving credit to the late Charles Darwin means first acknowledging the agencies that formed out of novel curiosity, which would eventually call the field home. Psychology evolves, sometimes quickly, but the questions at its core remain the same.

Weight of Unspoken Things
Have you ever swallowed your truth so many times that silence begins to feel safer than honesty? What's your why? For a long time, expressing myself felt like stepping into dangerous territory. Territory guarded by expectations, traditions, and unspoken rules I never agreed to but still inherited.

Shift That Changed Everything. AI-Generated.
Featured Image Prompt A dimly lit hospital waiting room at 3 AM, with empty plastic chairs arranged in rows, a coffee machine glowing in the corner, medical charts scattered on a nurse's station desk, fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows, and a lone figure in scrubs sitting with their head in their hands near a window showing the dark city skyline.

Setting Guilt-Free Boundaries
Boundaries are not intended as a sole mechanism to avoid people pleasing, trauma, confrontation, and/or discomfort. Not all boundaries are healthy. Healthy boundaries send out a powerful message to the world that you truly care about yourself. That you matter. That you are putting yourself first - even if it is only for a change to begin with. That is a powerful start. That is the ultimate level of self-care. This is not a luxury in this stone age. This is a necessity. Then again, rock music group Nirvana (adequately put) sang out loud to "come as you are."
