When baby arrived, that moment was magical. I was in disbelief looking at my child on me, “Am I really a mom?! What does it take for me to be a mom?” Haha. I still felt like my
We live in a noise-addicted world. We may find it challenging to discover our own voice, perhaps due to personal fears, shame and expectations. Sadly, some of us may even think that our voice isn’t worth finding.
After many years of struggling to find my very own narrative, I realized that one place I often overlook is actually within me. Now, I make conscious efforts to get in tune with my intimate oasis in the midst of all that
Anxiety.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with it.
As a little girl who felt overwhelming surges of unexplainable and uncontrollable emotions, I obviously had no idea that was what it was called.
All I knew was that it was a horrible feeling that made me feel powerless; a sense of inner turmoil that no amount of crying could get rid of; a whirlwind of angst that made me want to scream my lungs out.
Everything
We all know the daily hustle can be exhausting and the worst part of it all, thinking about work after hours happens more often then we'd like to admit! Bringing too much work home can quickly get us down, make us anxious, sleep-deprived and just not someone fun to be around.
There’s nothing better than taking time to invest in yourself, show yourself some self-love and recharge on the weekends - especially during summertime! Here are some tips on
"I struggle with anxiety and depression. Many friends would describe me as 'bubbly and joyous' but deep down, I struggle daily to get out of bed and face daily tasks..."

We all face different challenges at different life stages. Moving to a new city, being more self-aware, embarking on a career change...So how does one's mindset and beliefs determine the course of actions we take and how one reacts to the curveballs in life?

On 9th June 2018, we celebrate Global Wellness Day (GWD). The purpose of this social project? To ask ourselves the question even if only for one day, “How can I live a healthier and better life?”
One of the main aims of GWD is to be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits. Busy women of all ages and lifestyles manage a gazillion things everyday, and stress is inescapable. We all know that daily stress, if
Whether single, married, divorced, "it's complicated" or whatever permutation you might currently fall under, unless you've been living like a hermit, there is no way you wouldn't have experienced certain dating peeves.
We figured, why not just share it all? If you identify with the stories, well at least you know you aren't alone. If you have been lucky enough to escape the dating scene pretty much unscathed, well thank your lucky cupid watching over you, and have a laugh
We are all ‘working mothers’ – whether it is in the corporate or less conventional sense. We also need to learn to support one another and shake off negative self-beliefs and judgement – whether the latter is coming from ourselves or externally. Working motherhood is a constant juggling act – just as one fire is put out, another one starts burning up.
Days of perceived control are juxtaposed by the following day of sheer chaos, which leads to negative self-doubt and reflection upon

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Do you remember the ever evolving answers that you gave? Was it the super cool uniforms that attracted you? Or were you inspired by the really nice doctor that made you feel all better?
Many of us spend a good portion of our lives caught up in the rat race, seeking comfort in the fancy dinners and cushy lifestyles. There's nothing nothing wrong with that - but is that what

Hong Kong, 8th Feb 2018 (Thursday)
In 2018, The Busy Woman Project set its intentions to raise more awareness on building resilience; with a focus on overall wellbeing. Why do some people suffer real adversity and not buckle? Resilient people have been theorised to possess three characteristics: a firm acceptance of reality; a deep belief that life is meaningful, and exceptional improvisation skills.
"Move & Live" is conceptualized upon this premise and in-line with 1Q18 theme: Living a Purposeful Life.

As long as I can remember, I never had a regular period. I remember going to my doctor as a naive 16 year old and asking to go on the pill as I was never quite sure when my menses would arrive. This really should ring alarm bells for any doctor - but for mine, it didn't.
