For many people, the holidays are about joy, family, friends and celebration. But for many, the holiday season can stir up feelings of grief.
If the holidays feel heavy for you this year, you’re not alone. Grief and love are deeply connected, and both can coexist, even in the holiday season.
Today, I’ll share the story of how losing my mother to cancer when I was 10 years old forever shaped my holiday seasons, and how I found strength in both honoring old traditions and creating new ones.

She believes that understanding and addressing failure and grief are crucial for building resilience and going the distance in one’s career.

This week, I cleaned out my office cabinet, and I found decades of journals dating back to 1976. They were filled with memories, emotions, repetitive thoughts, overthinking, and growth.
When writing them, the journals served as a therapeutic tool that helped me process feelings and provide clarity to my overthinking mind. Reading them now allows me to reflect on how my past experiences shaped my life today.
In this episode, I discuss how journaling helped and continues to help me and why you should journal too.

Join me in this episode as I explore the reasons why people make bucket lists and why some don't, and discover what's on my less adrenaline-fueled bucket list.

As summer comes to an end, I’ve given myself a homework assignment to reflect on the summer I turned 60.
When I was younger, I loved summer, but this year, I was dreading it. I faced a quieter summer, as my grown children were an ocean away, and many of my friends were travelling. But I was determined to make the most of the summer by embracing change and seeking joy in my life, regardless of the number on my birthday cake. So, I committed to learning new skills and picking up new hobbies: golf and Mahjong.
Join me in this episode as I discuss the challenges and joy of golf and mahjong, how they became addictive, and how, alongside the best birthday surprise I could ever ask for, I had one of the best summers I can remember.

Why is it that we’re often our own harshest critics? Why are we harder on ourselves for mistakes, we would easily forgive others for? I know I’ve experienced self-criticism, especially when it comes to perfectionism.
Society expects us to always do well and emphasises achievement. We’re told to work hard and be resilient. Social media fuels this by setting unrealistic standards we’ve all seen and come accustomed to but are still vulnerable to.
Perfectionism, the inner critic, and the fear of judgment can also play a psychological part of self-criticism.
Luckily, cultivating self-compassion and reframing negative thoughts can combat self-criticism. In this episode, I’ll discuss various tried-and-true practical strategies for living a more joyful, self-compassionate life.
