Does The Truth Punish Us?
Raya came to me in tears, begging me to help her. An incident happened at Malcom and Plyers Investments where she worked. She and another employee allowed something terrible to go on. She cried for a week because she was called in for a meeting and was at risk of losing her job. Jennifer Scott, the employee, was the goddaughter of the company owner and didn’t obey the rules. She came to work late every day. Her friend clocked her in early using her phone, which she got from her when she arrived, whenever that was. She didn’t complete most of her assignments, and that increased the workload for Raya and her group of six. Raya and Zora were the only employees in the group who were aware of what was really happening. HR was aware, but because of who she was, they protected her and themselves.

The Online Side Hustle That Changed Everything
At 23, Ryan felt trapped. Every morning, he woke up before sunrise, squeezed into a crowded bus, and headed to a job that paid his bills... but drained his soul. The work wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t inspiring either. His paycheck disappeared the moment it arrived: rent, food, utilities, and a small loan he couldn’t seem to shake. By the end of each month, his bank balance hovered dangerously close to zero.

Un-more
**Un-More** I want to share a concept that has genuinely changed my life: the Un More Theory. It’s not a professional method or a clinical model — just something I’ve developed through real experience as a 40 year old mum of a two year old, living with medicated anxiety and learning how to rebuild my energy, confidence, and balance.

Goal Setting for People Who are Done Shrinking
There comes a moment when you realize the problem was never your ambition, it was how small you kept making it. For years, maybe you set “reasonable” goals. Safe goals. Goals that wouldn’t stretch you too far, disappoint anyone, or expose you to the risk of failure. You told yourself you were being practical, realistic, grounded.

Reasons to Be of Good Cheer
A story is told about a parakeet that sang all the time because it was cheerful. One day, the owner was vacuuming out the bottom of the bird's cage. When the telephone rang, the woman turned away from the cage for only a second. That was just enough time for the parakeet to be sucked up into the vacuum. The good news is that when the owner quickly turned off the appliance and unzipped the bag, the parakeet was still alive. The bad news is that the parakeet didn't sing much anymore after that ordeal. The bird had lost its joy and its desire to sing.

The Moment Life Finally Made Sense
I was twenty-eight when I realized I'd been living someone else's dream. It hit me on a Tuesday morning, stuck in traffic on my way to a job that paid well but left me hollow. Around me, engines hummed and horns blared, but inside my car, there was only silence—the kind that forces you to hear the thoughts you've been avoiding.

The Carpenter’s Lesson
When I first met Samuel, he was just another apprentice in a small woodshop in our town. He had little experience, no special talent, and often struggled to cut straight lines or assemble simple furniture. Many of the other apprentices mocked him, saying he would never become a good carpenter. I remember watching him quietly, noticing that he never complained, never gave up, and seemed determined to learn, no matter how many mistakes he made.

Saving the Best for Last: The Paradox of Waiting. AI-Generated.
It is a small, subtle movement that happens at dinner tables around the world. You look down at your plate. Perhaps it is a perfectly seared scallop, the crispiest piece of skin on the chicken, or the strawberry with the deepest red hue. Instinctively, you push it to the side of the plate. You separate it from the rest of the meal, creating a small, sacred space for it.

The Architecture of Resilience: Why Your "Internal Weather" Determines Your Destiny. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Introduction: The Myth of the "Perfect Moment" We are often told that greatness is a lightning strike - a singular moment of clarity where the stars align, the bank account swells, and the path forward becomes a sun-drenched highway. We wait for this "perfect moment" like travelers waiting for a train that isn't on the schedule.

How You Spend Your Time and Your Money Reveals A Lot About You
Time and money are your most honest currencies. You can lie with words, curate your social media personas, and tell yourselves comforting stories about who you are. If someone wanted to understand your values, priorities, and beliefs, they wouldn’t need to interview you.
