Kindness is Trending
From global stories of Potato Rescues to personal support within the MENA community, I write about how empathy and the spirit of Ramadan help us achieve a more blissful, connected world.
Happy New Year of the Horse
Today is Lunar New Year, and since I am a Pig, I am leaning into the great energy between the Pig and the Horse this year…
Here are 9 simple ways to welcome in some extra luck and abundance.
Wise Anger
We are often told that being nice is the highest virtue a woman can hold. As we move into perimenopause and menopause, the pressure of years spent biting our tongues begins to build. If you are feeling a sudden, intense heat that has nothing to do with a hot flash, you are not alone. It is time to stop apologising for our fire and start listening to what it has to tell us.
Notebooks, Totes, and Silk: Why Event Merch is My Love Language
I am well aware I sound a bit like Veruca Salt, but when it comes to a gallery gift shop or a concert stall, I really do want the lot. To some, a notebook or a silk scarf is just another bit of merch, but to me, it is what keeps the event alive. Our industry is all about bringing people together, and decent merchandise is simply how we bottle that energy so guests can take a piece of it home.
Super Bowl 2026: Event Management
The Super Bowl has just wrapped up and the sun is now up in Dubai. While we return home to catch a few hours of sleep. The event teams are busy with the turnaround. Managing a global sporting event on this scale is a heavy lift. It is a test of how long you can stay sharp on your feet and whether you can handle a schedule where a thirty-second slip-up is a massive problem.
The Architecture of Quiet
Abu Dhabi is for the reset.
I spent my morning on the yoga mat and my afternoon at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. While the architecture looks like a sci-fi dream, it was the quotes etched into the windows that actually stopped me in my tracks.
How To Accept The Shadow Within Us
We cannot help others face their difficult parts if we have not looked at our own. What we push away tends to show up anyway, often at the least convenient moments.
The LinkedIn Shift: From Corporate Cringe to Creative Gold
I used to think LinkedIn was full of corporate suits and cringe-worthy self-promotion. Then I landed my last two clients there. Here's what changed everything.
Persistence over Perfection
Stop waiting for the right time or the perfect version of yourself. Strength in 2026 is showing up even when you're overthinking. Here are three simple things I'm keeping in mind to make sure this year actually feels different.
Thank You to My Yoga Teachers
After years away from social media, I'm back and reconnecting with the teachers who changed my life. This is a long overdue thank you to yoga and the incredible people who taught me that strength isn't just physical - it's mental, emotional, and found in something as simple as a deep breath.
"Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter your flame." - B.K.S. Iyengar
What is Ho'oponopono?
Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness that involves expressing remorse, asking for forgiveness, expressing gratitude, and expressing love in order to heal and transform relationships. It aims to bring about healing, understanding, and connection within oneself and with others.
Redundancy
I've never been quiet, but I've always kept my professional life private, building genuine relationships rather than collecting followers. But Dubai changed everything. Now I'm filming my first video next month, writing my book, updating my yoga credentials, and showing up online because I realised that staying invisible means I can't help all the people who need what I have to offer.
Full Moon: Your 2026 Guide
Full moons are powerful times for release, clarity, and transformation. Use this energy to let go of what no longer serves you, cleanse your space, and pull cards for insight. Here's your guide to working with each 2026 full moon.
The Doing is the Reward
You cannot get a runner’s high by simply imagining the treadmill; you have to lace up your trainers and move. The same is true for our goals. While the ‘manifestor’s high’ of dreaming on paper feels like progress, it is no substitute for the hard-won satisfaction of taking action. Use your vision as a starting point, but remember: the real magic is in the doing.
Goal setting for a happier 2026
January arrives with its familiar expectations: resolutions, resets, reinventions. New year, new you. Veganuary. Dry January. The gym membership you'll definitely use this time.
We've been sold the idea that transformation has a calendar date, that change only counts when it starts on 1st January. But here's what nobody tells you about fresh starts: they're available every single day, and the best ones? They rarely happen when everyone else is watching.
A Kenyan Christmas
This Christmas, I finally made it to Africa. Between watching elephants roam free and floating over the Masai Mara at sunrise, I remembered why slowing down matters.
Wisdom from The Little Prince
What if the secret to a meaningful life isn't found in chasing more, but in cherishing what's already in front of us? This Christmas Eve, I'm reflecting on a simple truth from The Little Prince that's changed how I see everything.
Lead with a Good Heart
You don't need to harden your heart to be strong. Real strength is choosing kindness even when life gives you reasons not to. When your generosity isn't returned, when your intentions are misunderstood, it can make you question yourself. But don't. Your good heart is not the problem; it's your superpower
A Solstice Reminder
December 21 is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. I like to use this moment to review my goals and set a clear path for the year ahead. What’s one goal you’re focusing on in 2026?
