 There's a to-do-list I never write down, but it's aways running. It's in my mind when I wake up, buzzing beneath the surface while I work and whispering in the background as I try to fall asleep. It's not on an app, or a sticky note, or a family calendar. But it's there--constant, quiet, and exhausting.  This is the invisible to-do-list: It's remembering the next doctor's appointment. It's knowing we're running low on toothpaste. It's tracking when the baby's onesies will be outgrown. It's realizing we're down to the last trash bag--and mentally noting to grab more. It's thinking ahead to birthdays, school events, and who needs an encouraging word this week. This list doesn't come with reminders or alarms. No one else gets a notification when something's overdue. It's just me--remembering. The Mental Load of Motherhood The mental load of motherhood can be an invisible burden that you carry day in and day out.This can ...

 Balancing a professional career and motherhood involves navigating a complex interplay of challenges and opportunities. It often requires a strong sense of resilience, communication, and support from both personal and professional networks. In this blog, I share the story of how motherhood transformed my career, not by slowing it down, but by infusing it with deeper purpose, sharper focus, and profound joy. My Career Path: Navigating Professional Growth as a Mom As I sit down to reflect on my career journey, it's clear that my role as a mother to my beloved daughter has profoundly shaped the trajectory of my professional life. From sleepless nights spent at my desk to the joyful moments watching her grow, the blending of career ambitions and family responsibilities has been both challenging and rewarding. Embracing Change The moment I became a mother, the lens through which I viewed my career began to shift. Suddenly, time felt more precious. The early morning meetings and the lon...

 We all want to be productive, decisive, and in control of our time -- yet for many, three sneaky habits quietly run the show: overthinking, procrastination, and poor time management. Individually, they're disruptive. Combined? They create a mental loop that keeps people stuck -- not just in their work, but in their relationships, goals, and even sense of self-worth. While i don't personally wrestle with all these three issues in the same way, I've seen them impact others deeply -- friends, colleagues, even loved ones. And what's consistent across the board is this: most people don't even realize how much these habits are draining their time, energy, and potential. If there's one thing people impacted by these three problems have learned over the years, it's this: they don't need enemies when they have overthinking and procrastination on their team. They've been sabotaging their productivity for far too long -- and time management? Well, it's the...

It's been a little over two months since I stepped back into the office after my maternity leave. I remember the mix of emotions I felt that first morning - excitement, guilt, exhaustion, hope. Since then, I've been quietly carrying the weight of two worlds; the one at home, where I'm learning to be a mother, and the one at work, where I'm expected to pick up right where I left off. for weeks, I debated whether to share my experience - wondering if anyone would understand, if it was too personal, or if my words would even matter. But today, the feelings bubbling inside me are too strong to ignore. So, I'm putting them down on paper, not just for me, but for every mother who's walked this road in silence. Because if there's one truth I've come to know deeply, it's this: being a working mom is the hardest job a woman can have - and the most invisible one too. You never really know how heavy it all feels until you're living it - trying to show up fu...

"Sustainable fashion is not just a trend -- it's a necessity" In recent years,  the fashion industry has faced increasing scrutiny for its environmental and social impact. From fast fashion's resource-heavy production models to poor labor practices, consumers and brands alike are rethinking their role in the global ecosystem. This shift has birthed one of the most important movements in modern apparel: Sustainable Fashion. What is Sustainable Fashion? Sustainable fashion refers to clothing and accessories that are designed, produced, distributed, and consumed in ways that are environmentally friendly and ethically responsible. It aims to minimize the negative impact on the planet and promote fair labor practices across the supply chain. This involves using eco-friendly materials (like organic cotton or recycled fabrics), reducing carbon emissions, conserving water, minimizing waste, and ensuring safe working conditions for workers. The concept also encourages consumer...
