My personal story on dealing with ambition impacting my mental health — My entire life has changed in the last 18 months. A year ago, I was at a soul-sucking job that was uninspiring. I knew I wasn’t meant to be there. I didn’t want to do any ‘job’; I wanted to do my own thing because the 8-hour workday and office…

I don’t wake up at 5 am or eat salad. — I’ve been in my best body for a year now. Of course, it wasn’t easy. It resulted from six years of working out consistently and having a balanced diet that got me here. I now look and feel happy with my body and my mental health is strong, which I…

Here’s why I’ll probably never go back. — A year ago in July 2020, my phone died. Little did I know back then that this was the beginning of my entire life to turn around. I had a little above 11k followers on Instagram, all organic. I had been blogging about my weight-loss journey since my undergrad in…

A new career, more money, and a greater sense of life purpose — Imagine this. One day you’re looking at some people having a wonderful life.

Chris Voss is a former FBI hostage negotiator who now runs the Black Swan firm, which provides negotiation services. He says that ideally, you’d want to hear these…

Here’s the step-by-step process. — I’m a full-time writer. I literally get paid to write copy that converts, or in simple terms, that ‘sells’. For some reason, this is something I cannot do with my own audience. I’m grateful to the universe and am content with what I have. Maybe it’s because my life was…

An honest overview of what it's like. — In all honesty, I wish I was told how self-employment is not as glamorous as people make it sound. Being your own boss can be a sexy job title accompanied by work that takes a toll on you. I’ve been self-employed for 16 months now. …

A non-inspirational and supremely actionable read. — By the time you finish reading this, you will get actionable points to start change beginning right now. No more airy inspiration. I’m tired of inspiration with no clear action. So here’s me trying to change that. Desires First, I’ll tell you the desires that I had at 25. I was…
