From getting a spirit animal to contemplating the eternal nature of life and death, here are some of the jewels I learned in Egypt. Join me on this journey of discovery and transformation.

Many of us are predisposed to certain behaviors and conditions in our families. But just because something runs in your family doesn't mean you must accept it as your fate.

Traditionally cast in the role of caretaker from a young age, I have consciously shifted towards a role that allows me to enjoy being a daughter, sister, and aunt on my terms. This holiday season marks a significant transition in how I interact with my family, moving away from exhausting obligations towards mutual respect and personal happiness.

As someone known for action, I often found myself rushing through the milestones of starting my own business, driven by a "get it done now" mentality.
