Hello and welcome to my blog page, my safe space…

Writing is my safe place; it’s what I do when I run into a wall and can’t figure out a way. I write when I am happy, reflective, or overwhelmed. I write to share my inner thoughts and experiences, and I write to share ideas and learnings. More importantly, I write to heal.

My intention is not just to create a blog, but to build a community—a safe and enjoyable space for you to connect, reflect, and heal.

The first set of posts will be on managing transitions while achieving transformation. I don’t know how many posts we’ll have on this topic; I intend to explore and share until it’s time to pivot into the new (of which I don’t know what that is at the moment, but we’ll figure it out together).

These are some things to expect on this page for now:

  • biweekly posts on managing life transitions

  • weekly quotes

  • weekly nuggets

  • and random inspirational videos.

I want to keep it spontaneous, so I don’t know what will happen in the coming months, but I am sure of one thing: we will love, transform, and grow together.

The first post on this page will be released on Friday, September 5, 2025. Watch out for it…

To new chapters and bold transitions,

Before I became a transition coach, I shared my feelings about career changes with a friend. She had gone through a similar experience. She felt lost because her identity was tied to her job and company.

E.M.O.T.I.O.N.S

In my career and life journey, I have experienced pivotal transitions and met people who have also navigated significant life changes. One common experience shared by all is a wave of emotions that cannot be defined, along with the vulnerability that accompanies them.

Processing Transitions

I wish someone had prepared me for the emotional turmoil of leaving a long-held job. I thought I had it all ticked off and was looking forward to my next career phase. I wrongly assumed the next role would be as easily secured as the previous one. What I experienced was the reverse. Finding my next job took a long time, and I nearly lost myself in the process.

Ray & Emma

What happened to Ray?

Ray and Emma had waited a long time for a forever family. Their basic needs were met in their foster home, but something was still missing: tenderness, affection, and a sense of belonging. Every time a potential family came by, Ray and Emma would perk up with hope, as if saying, “Pick us.” But time and again, they were overlooked.
