Another news on retrenchment! For many people, a job feels like security. A stable income. A routine we can depend on. Until one day… it is not. Layoffs do not only happen to “certain industries” or “certain people”. Sometimes it happens quietly, unexpectedly, even to those who thought th

If you are a working mom, this might feel a little too familiar. When your young child falls sick… not just once, not twice, but the third time in a single month, it is really no joke! Frequent urgent leave applications. Work deadline does wait, workload continues to snowball. Late nights s

Yes… it is that time of the year again. Tax filing season! And a lot of time, I get asked the same question… “Is this actually a legitimate business?” “How do I know this is real?” Honestly, I get it. With so many things happening online these days, it is normal to feel cautious. No on

Taking a leap to start something new is scary. No matter how you look at it… there will always be uncertainty. “What if it does not work?” “What if I fail?” So some people choose to wait. Wait for the right time. Wait to feel more ready. Wait until everything feels certain. The truth

So instead of asking “Where are my results?” Maybe the better question is… “What am I becoming through this journey…” It is pretty normal to want results when we try something new. We all want to know… is this worth it? Is this going to work? But before any result shows up, there is al

A 9 to 5 can feel stable… until it is not. One change, one decision, one unexpected situation… and everything can shift. And as moms, it is never just about us. It is about the little ones depending on us. The future we are trying to build for them. The moments we do not want to miss.

Lesson learned in this birthday 🎈 This year’s birthday present felt a little different. As my elder girl grows up, her likes and dislikes are becoming clearer. She now openly shares what she wants, without hesitation, without overthinking. Sometimes I look at her and think… wah, that carefre

Have you ever felt like you have been doing the same things over and over again, but the results just… are not there? You keep going, hoping something will change. But deep down, you start questioning yourself… “Should I even continue?” I have been there. But what if that feeling is not

You don't have to let your savings decide the duration of you staying home for your kids! Many moms didn't know they could actually build a side hustle before they quit their jobs for their kids. I started building my business as a side hustle while I was holding a full time job. Ye

It's easy to say "no". By saying "no", you continue to stay in your comfort zone, and it is safe to do so. But when life forces you to step out of your comfort zone, you look back, and wish you had done something. Build options while you still can, you will thank you

Here's something I didn't realize when I first started this business. That is... Giving courage to moms to believe in themselves, and to build something meaningful for their families, while building mine. Courage sounds more than just telling one "you can do it". In my

Many moms choose to pause their careers for their children. Because nothing feels more precious than being there to watch them grow. These moments are once in a lifetime and cannot be reversed. But let us be real. Many families rely on savings during this period. And when the savings start runni
