She Leads with Soul

Valentine’s Day is often seen as a celebration of romantic love, sometimes creating pressure to make grand gestures—red roses, chocolates, elaborate surprises.

But love exists in many forms, beyond just romance.

On Friday evenings, I set aside time to be with my parents, usually taking a walk by t...

Last weekend, I hosted an in-person meditation to set intentions for the new year and welcome the Year of the Wood Snake.

During the meditation, I guided participants to open their hearts—to release past disappointments and forgive anything from 2024 that might prevent them from manifesting their g...

I recently celebrated my birthday with family and friends at a beautiful wine farm my sister chose.

The tables were nestled under the branches of ancient oak trees, with vineyards stretching toward the distant mountains.

I enjoy visiting wine farms—the rolling hills, the trees, the peaceful atmosp...

As I set my intentions for this year, I reflected on some of the goals I had set toward the end of last year.

When I re-read them—after a much-needed break—I realized there was an air of desperation in my requests to the universe.

Desperation doesn’t attract the best options!

At best, it may offe...

Happy Chinese New Year! 🎉

As we move from the Wood Dragon year to the Wood Snake, we’re stepping into a year of transformation, wisdom, and personal reinvention.

For me, the new year truly begins with the Chinese New Year. 

I’ve started each of the past three years with a Chinese astrology readin...

This weekend, I spent a wonderful time at my sister’s beach house with my family.

When we arrived, we could feel any stress or worries simply melt away.

The house offers uninterrupted views of the ocean in various shades of blue.

You could smell the sea and hear the waves crashing on the rocks an...

It was a beautiful summer evening under the shadow of the mountain.

We carried our picnic basket filled with snacks and drinks, ready for an evening of entertainment at the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens.

The gardens, stunning as always, were alive with energy as families gathered on the lawns f...

Has This Happened to You?

For the past two years, I’ve loved using a beautiful diary based on the moon cycles. Being born on a Monday—“Moon-day”—might explain my deep connection to the moon.

This year, I was late ordering my diary, and by the time I checked, my local booksellers were sold out. Luc...

I’ve been reading an inspiring business book that introduced a powerful concept: once you’re clear on what makes your offering uniquely yours, competition becomes irrelevant.

Your personalized approach, infused with your unique flavor, flows naturally. While others might attempt to replicate your ...

It was a beautiful summer’s day, with only a few clouds draped over the mountain as we set off for a picnic on the lawns of the cricket grounds.

Armed with chairs, snacks, sun-hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses, we were ready for a day outdoors. Attending the first f...

It has been is a season of both celebration and loss for me.

While many are focused on celebrating, this weekend, a family friend is saying goodbye to a loved one who is the same age as my brother.

I am reminded that beginnings and endings are all part of the cycle of life.

As we step into 2025, a ...

It was a windy, cool morning just after sunrise. As we approached the cliff top, the sound of crashing waves and the roar of the ocean greeted us.

From our elevated vantage point, we could see the white peaks of the waves—like galloping horses riding toward the shore. The sun hung low in the sky, a...
