Real talk on love, life, career, wellness & becoming who you're meant to be
There is nothing quite like the feeling of wanting to be close to someone and yet being completely trapped inside your own head. You want to be present. You want to feel connected. But instead, your mind is racing with thoughts that pull you further and further away from the moment. “Do I look okay […]
Twenty-Two Is a Brutal Age to Watch Your Financial Future Collapse Twenty-two is such a strange age to get cancer, isn’t it? You’re barely standing on your own two feet financially. You haven’t built a savings cushion, your career is just a sketch on a napkin, and your biggest money worry up until that point […]
Everything I Thought I Wanted Was Built on Someone Else’s Blueprint At twenty-two, I was doing everything right. University degree in progress. Social life thriving. A clear, predictable path stretching out in front of me like a highway I never questioned. I was headed somewhere, or at least that is what I told myself. The […]
Nobody Prepares You for What Cancer Does to a Young Body I want to get real with you for a moment. At twenty-two years old, I was sitting on the other end of a phone call from a doctor who had almost not bothered running tests because I was “so healthy.” He told me I […]
The Phone Call That Changed Every Relationship in My Life When you get a cancer diagnosis at twenty-two, the first thing that hits you isn’t fear of dying. It’s the faces of everyone you love flashing through your mind. My mum. My partner. My best friends from university. My little sister who still thought I […]
Nobody Tells You What Cancer Does to Your Sexual Self When I was diagnosed with late-stage blood cancer at twenty-two, the doctors talked about survival rates, treatment plans, and side effects. They mentioned hair loss, nausea, fatigue. What nobody sat me down and warned me about was this: cancer would completely dismantle my relationship with […]
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from being the person everyone counts on. You are the one who remembers birthdays, coordinates family dinners, checks in on friends going through hard times, and somehow holds the emotional pulse of every relationship in your life. You do it willingly, even gladly, because you love […]
Let’s talk about something most women carry but rarely name out loud: the guilt that shows up the moment you reach for your own pleasure. Not the guilt about eating dessert or skipping the gym. The deeper kind. The guilt that tightens in your chest when you want to be touched, when you crave intimacy, […]
Here is something nobody warns you about when you are climbing the ladder: the higher you go, the emptier it can feel. You land the promotion. You hit the revenue target. You get the title you have been dreaming about for years. And for a few days, maybe a few weeks, everything feels electric. Then […]
I spent years running myself into the ground trying to feel good. Not in the way you might think. I was not partying or making reckless choices. I was doing everything “right.” The green smoothies, the morning runs, the gratitude journal, the supplements lined up on my counter like little soldiers of optimization. And yet […]
“Hi, my name is Natasha, and I am addicted to the butterflies.” I know, I know. That sounds ridiculous. But hear me out. I was sitting across from yet another first date at a trendy little wine bar in the city, and somewhere between his story about hiking in Patagonia and my second glass of […]
“I used to think great sex would fix everything.” That’s the confession I hear most often from the women I work with. And honestly, it was mine too. Somewhere along the way, I absorbed the idea that if I could just have better sex, more passionate sex, more frequent sex, I would finally feel whole. […]
