I’ve followed every self-help theory and spiritual shortcut out there. Until they all started to feel hollow. This piece is a call to return to what’s real: presence, connection, and healing that doesn’t come wrapped in a brand.

Why do so many of us feel we’re never quite good enough? This article explores how to live with that feeling—and still keep showing up for ourselves.

Each click I get feels like a reason to delete my content instantly. I can’t even count how many times I’ve posted a comment only to delete it later, regretting the decision to have shown myself, even in that small way, out there.

Over time, I’ve realised there are two kinds of people in this world. The GO people and the NO people.

Breaking the cycle isn’t about perfection, but about awareness and self-compassion. It’s a journey of understanding our wounds, embracing our flaws, and creating the space for our children to grow into their authentic selves.

Most of us go through life unaware of the hidden forces shaping our choices, relationships, and sense of self. We believe we know who we are—until life triggers us, exposing patterns we didn’t even realise we were caught in. True self-discovery isn’t about fixing what’s ‘wrong’ with us; it’s about seeing ourselves clearly, beyond the masks we’ve been taught to wear.
