Are you a busy working mom or dad, who has always wanted to prepare a special breakfast or some simple, delicious snacks for the family - but have always felt intimidated by the complicated recipes? Or perhaps, you are fearful that you don't have the capability to prepare something decent enough for the kids - what is vegan, dairy free, high fat, paleo, keto, low carb again? Or maybe, you are just feeling too time-strapped to whip up anything in
Finding your purpose - your why, your reason for being - is a constant discovery & reflection process. Know that it is perfectly OK to not know your purpose, or if it is currently evolving. Purpose is also as simple or as sophisticated as you make it to be.
What's important is to set aside me-time for your growth, exploration and wellbeing - to reflect, be clear of what drives you and what is important to you at whichever stage

We are strong, confident, independent and beautiful. But we are also fearful. Fearful of what people think of us. The judgements.
We worry about not being heard or if we are being too overbearing. Fearful of not looking groomed or being perceived as vain... We speak a lot about being authentic, about being true to who you are. But, when we've developed a routine of not really thinking about why we do what we do, it can be difficult to
If you have ever found yourself being spoken down to, or being disrespected at work, whether woman or man, having to be in that situation is unpleasant and unnecessary. We #pressforprogress, but we can do zilch if we leave anyone out of the conversation. What we, as a collective, should strive towards is building empowering environments for everyone to thrive, regardless of gender, age, race and any other differences that we may have subconsciously (or consciously) singled out.

"Move Your Body and Your Mind Will Follow."
Whether through leadership, parenthood, philanthropy, lifestyle choices or championing for a cause like gender diversity, living a purpose first requires one to stand for something.
That means, to be centered and self aware - to know yourself, your values, then identifying your purpose, and following through with action.
Through a mindful movement & journalling session, the #teambusywoman community explored the word "centered" by bringing awareness to their minds & bodies - using

One of my favourite books is “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a Jewish psychologist that survived the holocaust and his moving story is one about survival, resilience and grit.

The rise of the new age working culture - coworking spaces - is evident. A significant number of new co-working spaces are popping up in Orchard, Lavender, East Coast, and especially in the Singapore Central Business District (CBD).

One of my super techie, successful entrepreneur friends then told me, “one of my biggest aspirations is to make this an amazing place to work for my employees”. That was an “aha” moment for me.
