Remembering My Father’s Voice

It’s Father’s Day weekend. And it’s also four years since my own father passed on. Grief is strange in that it wraps itself around days like this. Even when you are doing okay, it tugs gently at your heart, reminding you of what once was. And who once was.I have been thinking a lot aboutContinue reading "Remembering My Father’s Voice"

The Self-Made Illusion

We often celebrate the idea of being “self-made,” but is anyone truly self-made? Even Jesus, in fulfilling His divine mission, relied on a close circle of people from disciples to friends and supporters. This post unpacks the myth of individual success and highlights the power of community, support, and God-ordained relationships in our personal and professional journeys. It’s time we traded self-sufficiency for grace-filled interdependence.

Shinning Without Overshadowing: Navigating Power Dynamics In The Workplace

I recently came across a post on LinkedIn about one of the most quoted and debated laws in Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power. Law 1 says, "Never outshine the master." The idea is simple, make your superiors feel superior. Don’t threaten their status. After decades in corporate, I understand the principle and haveContinue reading "Shinning Without Overshadowing: Navigating Power Dynamics In The Workplace"

7 Career Myths That Are Holding You Back…

I was reflecting on my career journey so far and realized certain things I believed were just not true and probably resulted in missed opportunities.  It’s not just external obstacles that block progress. It’s often the myths we believe about success, advancement, and what it takes to “make it.” These myths may sound like wisdomContinue reading "7 Career Myths That Are Holding You Back…"

Nurturing Friendships In The Midst of Career And Motherhood Demands

There’s no shortage of people I can sit with and have a genuine laugh with, and just share life with. But when it comes to actually finding a time that works for both of us? That’s where the real struggle begins. Somewhere between work meetings, school pick-ups, extra-curricular activities, and personal development, friendships seem to take a backup seat.   Even when we both mean well and want to meet up, it turns into a long back and forth of “what about next month?” or “can we try again after this project ends?” And don't get me started on time zones. Some of my closest friends are spread across different parts of the world now. When I’m finally free for a chat after bedtime routines, they’re fast asleep or knee-deep in their own daily madness. Coordinating a simple phone call feels like planning an international summit sometimes.

Because Sunday Always Comes!

Ever since my father passed, seasons like Easter, Christmas, and even my birthday feel different. Driving home, knowing he will not be there to welcome us, is something I will never get used to. I miss his warm welcome, his stories, and his presence. The ache of missing him comes in quiet waves. But even in that grief, Easter still carries hope.

Entrepreneur vs. Employee

Entrepreneurship is often marketed as the ultimate dream. Social media coaches who are trying to sell you their products will tell you that working a 9-to-5 job means building someone else’s dream, and running your own business is positioned as the key to financial freedom. Corporate life is painted as restrictive, and being accountable to a boss is looked down on. In some instances, there are also stories of toxic workplaces and narcissistic bosses. If you flip the coin, those who are "killing" it in corporate will share only their wins, their latest promotions, all the big and impactful projects they are working on and hashtag their posts with #greatplacetowork. Lately, though, for everyone celebrating their promotion or new role, there is someone who has been laid off and has been looking for a new role for months without success. So which path should you take? Read on to find out!

Faith demands action!

This post is a few days late because i was traveling. Now that I am back, the normal posting schedule will continue. 2025 is going by very fast... at least for me, it is.  So, let's talk about the goals that you set when you were excited about the new year in January and theContinue reading "Faith demands action!"

The Perfect Moment That Never Comes!

I was looking at my goals earlier this week, and I realized I have put off starting certain things because I keep telling myself the moment isn't quite right. Weeks turn to months, and years go by, and still, the moment is never quite right. When was the last time everything lined up just rightContinue reading "The Perfect Moment That Never Comes!"

The Women Who Shaped Me – A Tribute On International Women’s Day

They say it takes a village, not just to raise a child but to build a career and a life. Today, on International Women’s Day, I want to honor the incredible women who have shaped my journey, from my home to the workplace.

Rain, Traffic And Power Outages… Not Always A Bad Thing!

Continuous rain comes with its fair share of inconveniences. Children's school extra mural activities were canceled all week! Kids were stuck indoors, and that's when the screen time battles began. And please don't get me started on traffic, because somehow, the moment it rains, as drivers we seem to collectively lose their ability to drive! And of course, with that much rain, the electricity outages follow. Always. Without fail! But even the rain has its lessons.

Traffic Jams And Life Lessons!

A forced and unexpected change to my usual route to work reminded me that sometimes we have to try new things. That the best routes aren’t the ones we already know and when we try something new, we open ourselves to possibilities we never thought possible.

Cut your coat according to your cloth!

I needed a salary increase. In ignorance, or rather innocently, I took my budget to my line manager and showed him how this was not a frivolous ask but a real need 😃😃😃. My manager was gracious enough to explain how things worked. His exact words were.." You have to cut your coat according to your cloth"

Why working women  need a tribe (and how to build one)

And just like that, January 2025 has ended! It's as if you blink and the month is over. I am not going to ask if you are still on track with your goals 😃. January was a wild juggling act for me. For the first time in twelve years, we no longer have a live-inContinue reading "Why working women  need a tribe (and how to build one)"
