Compromise versus Sacrifice
Relationships are complicated. Every person is created with different upbringings, values and experiences. Every person navigates through life with the eyes of their family, school friends and their community. And that’s why relationships are complicated. Like a human fingerprint, there is only one version of us. In this lifetime, we are here to figure who we are and what our lives are destined for. There will be many joys and pains from a living a fulfilling life. We invest


How Courage Fights the Fear
In the classic story Wizard of Oz, the story takes us on journey from Kansas to the magical land of Oz encountering characters representing good and bad. And one of those loveable characters is the Lion who dreams about visiting the Great Oz to give him courage. The film cleverly represents the contradictions of the Lion from picking on her small dog Toto to being paralysed with fear approaching the Great Oz. We see a character that wants to be brave and courageous but mistak


The Curse of Over-Criticism
As soon as we start crawling, we learn what is right and what is wrong. We are taught what to say and what to do from the day we understand our parents. They is no doubt our parents are there to protect us from physical and emotional harm. But as we get older and older, the lines start to blur. From a toddler to a child. From a child through to the teenage years and from the teenage years to adulthood. We learn about the world through the eyes of our parents, our family and t


The Last Chapter
Epic moments are the times when you realise your life has changed forever. After leaving my hometown, my personal mission was to explore every creative curiosity. Along the way, i created a better version of me. I learnt that life is not about just trying to make it through the tough times. Life is about thriving in the moment.

Why Women need to Speak up
After the US election, the world had a scary realisation. When you are female with years of experience and qualifications compared to a male candidate, you can still lose. We heard the talks of sexual assault is ‘locker room’ talk and racism is acceptable in politics and yet the man won. How could this happen? Why did happen? And why is it still not an issue? There has been too many claims from women that are swept under the rug and ignored. It happens at work, on the street


The (other) benefits of exercise
Nobody wants to read (or hear) another article about the positives of exercising. We have all heard the same facts. Exercise is good for your health. People live longer. Prevents disease. And generally you become a better version of yourself. But the truth of the matter is, we want results now. Sometimes the satisfaction of a good donut and box full of goodies from KFC is not going to meet the satisfaction of exercise. So what are the benefits of doing exercise now? Exercise


The Battle with the head and heart
There comes a moment in our lives where we have to choose between two different paths. Unfortunately sometimes these options are not crystal clear and we have this internal battle. The options can be two great opportunities and we can’t decide what works best for us. Or they are two options that are both not-so-great options and we try to choose one that creates lets drama. Or an even harder battle when we know what choice to make but the pressure from other people can make u


How is body image affecting who we are
Most girls have a negative body image. It is a common problem amongst women. Statistics show that more than 90% of women aren’t happy with their body. But what is more concerning that having a negative body image affects how we see ourselves in the world. The messages we receive that people - particularly women - should look and be a certain way to achieve happiness and success. The right make up. The right clothes.
