Dear Friends,
After almost three months of hiatus in the Philippines, it's great to be back in Miami! As someone who considers both the US and the Philippines home, I treasure moments when I can spend time with my family.
It took me some time to adjust to this lifestyle, but I've accepted that I have two homes now and can have the best of both worlds.
It’s been almost a month since I returned, but it took me some time to recover from jet lag and a bad cold. However, my body has adjusted over the past week, and I have started following an early morning routine- an intense beach workout or leisure walk. I have also rekindled my yoga practice and have been feeling inspired lately to focus on my writing.
So, what’s new?
This little corner of the online world is now known as The Chrysalis, a space for learning, curiosity, and self-expression through my writings.
Here's what you can expect from me:
🦋 One or two personal essays a month. All my offerings are a labor of love, no spam, promise!
🦋 Nuggets of Joy, inspired by my recent interview with Leadership Coach Misha Safran. Each month, I’ll share one thing that brings me joy, awe, and gratitude. I intend to build a list of joyful things to return to when times are challenging, and it would be fun to create this list with you!
Here’s an invitation. Share your answers to the questions below with me, and if chosen, they will be featured in the newsletter.
Where do you find joy when moments are challenging?
What gives you joy in general?
Share it with me here.
I look forward to hearing from you!
The Chrysalis is a growth container, a platform to experiment, get creative, and share what I learn from failing forward and taking risks. Mindfulness, resilience, kindness, and joy are some of the topics I will explore here. As well as navigating anxiety, self-care, somatic awareness, and much more!
This newsletter is free, and I’d be over the moon if you shared this with your family and friends!
See you soon in your inbox!
With love and gratitude,
Upcoming Offerings
