Don’t let the past dictate your future.
Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Whether childhood trauma or heartbreak in adulthood, healing begins when you challenge negative self-talk and reclaim your story. With reflection and self-compassion, you can step out of the darkness and build a future guided by strength, not pain.
Never Rush Into A Relationship.
After heartbreak, it’s tempting to fill the emptiness with someone new — but rushing into love rarely heals old wounds. True recovery takes time, reflection, and self-compassion. Learn to be comfortable alone first, because lasting love begins when you no longer need another person to complete you.
It’s Not Immigration, But AI That Will Inevitably Take Our Jobs.
While politicians debate immigration, the real threat to job security is already here — artificial intelligence. In this post, I explore how automation could erase millions of jobs by 2030.

Where Words Leave Off, Music Begins.
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.

To care is to be vulnerable.
In this post, I explore the paradox of caring: to truly invest in others is to open yourself to vulnerability. I also share a video of me calling my mum as I receive my undergraduate degree results—a moment full of relief, joy, pride, and raw emotion.
Freedom: the core component of anxiety.
Anxiety often arises from freedom—the ability to make choices and face uncertain outcomes. Whether it’s big life decisions or everyday possibilities, the weight of options can feel overwhelming. In this post, I explore how accepting what’s beyond our control and embracing the opportunities we have can help transform anxiety into curiosity and growth.
Fear does not stop death, it stops life.
Fear can consume us, holding us back from truly living. It thrives in the moments we overthink, obsess, and let anxiety take control. In this post, I explore how fear doesn’t prevent danger—it prevents life—and how confronting it, rather than avoiding it, can open the door to courage, growth, and unforgettable experiences.
