Work and mental health are inseparable. As a scientist living with depression, I’ve learned that discipline—not motivation—keeps me steady. Structure transforms chaos into calm, reminding me that routine isn’t restrictive but restorative. Our jobs shape our minds; the key is learning to work with, not against, ourselves.
What began as the darkest chapter of my career turned into unexpected growth. Losing a job I once loved forced me to redefine success, rediscover balance, and rebuild confidence. "Despair and Development" traces that transformation — from rejection and uncertainty to renewal, resilience, and the surprising freedom of starting again.
Insecurity is universal — a quiet thread connecting us all. "Do Not Let Our Insecurities Define Us" gathers honest reflections from people of different ages and professions, revealing the shared weight of self-doubt. Through collective vulnerability, it reminds us that acknowledging our insecurities is not weakness, but the first step toward self-acceptance.
A new year doesn’t have to mean starting over. Instead of erasing the past, we should use it as a guide. Our darkest moments shape who we become, teaching us resilience, self-worth, and direction. Growth isn’t about forgetting — it’s about transforming what once hurt into fuel for progress.
In this post, I explore how music speaks when words fall silent. From its ability to unlock lost memories to its power to shape our emotions, music connects us in ways nothing else can. Whether healing heartbreak or brightening grey days, sometimes a song says everything we cannot.
After a challenging start to 2018, I’ve put together a vlog to share a fresh chapter and reflections on overcoming personal battles. It’s a celebration of resilience, moving forward, and embracing new beginnings—thank you for continuing to follow along on this journey.
In this post, I explore the extraordinary power of music as both a sanctuary and a catalyst for emotional expression. Music can break us down, rebuild us, and guide us through grief, heartbreak, and joy. I share how curating playlists for both negative and positive emotions can help process feelings, transform mindset, and ultimately harness music’s magical ability to heal.
This is mental health.
