Happy Growing!
2025 is here, and whether it feels like a fresh start or a daunting challenge, it's just another step in your journey. This new year doesn’t require drastic change, but rather a celebration of how far you've already come. Reflect on your past accomplishments—whether big or small—and recognize the resilience that brought you to this point. Shifting how we view ourselves with kindness and love is the key to unlocking the future we deserve. So, let’s take a moment to acknowledge our achievements, no matter how difficult the journey was. You are worthy of love, compassion, and all the good things life has to offer. Here's to the continued growth in 2025!

Good Girl No More: Living for You When You’re Brown
The pressure to be the "good girl" who prioritizes everyone else’s happiness over her own is a familiar battle, especially in South Asian families. This holiday season, as family interactions intensify, it’s important to remember that your worth is not tied to their approval. The never-ending race for acceptance can leave you feeling unfulfilled, but it’s time to break the cycle. Start living for yourself and prioritize your choices. You deserve to be seen, heard, and loved for who you are, not for who they want you to be. It’s time to stop seeking their approval and start creating the life that’s right for you.

Love is More Than Romance
Society often makes us feel like our worth is tied to being in a romantic relationship. The pressure can be overwhelming, especially when everyone around you seems to be paired up, leaving you wondering, "Why can't I find that too?" But here’s the truth: love is more than just romance. In fact, love is all around us—in the kindness of strangers, the support of friends, and even in how we show compassion to ourselves. In this post, I share how we can open ourselves up to love in all its forms, beyond the romantic fairy tales, and remind ourselves that we are worthy of love, no matter our relationship status.
