Post-exams breather. Being in my final year of med school lectures makes me cherish these quiet moments even more, knowing that the next 365 days of duty might mean missing Christmas and so many moments with the people I love.

ps. Surgery exams slayed me so deserve ko to(yata)

Tonight all these lives converge here The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears Where fraternal souls sing identical things And it’s beautiful  It’s rapturous. It is frightening. ____

I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right. A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max and Shellback for helping me paint this self portrait.

If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain… 

The Life of a Showgirl is out now.

“My stomach hurt all day thinking about it. There is no way out. There is no way out. I kept repeating it in my head. I felt like I could will myself to death with those words. But I couldn’t. I had kids. I had to get better. I had to. I had to take care of myself. To take care of my children. I had to figure out, once and for all, how to get out of the hole, how to get off the floor, and stay there. I had to figure out, from the inside out, what was going to transform me into someone who would not just succeed, but thrive.”

- Choose Yourself!.”

the strength of boundaries

You’ve been there before.

Sitting across from someone you care about, letting the conversation wander into places you wish it hadn’t.

They asked one question too many, pressed one button too hard, and because you didn’t speak up—you let it happen.

You laughed when you wanted silence. You agreed when your heart begged to disagree. And when the moment ended, you carried the weight of it home with you.

Home to your family, or to work, or even to other friends.

That’s the danger of blurred edges. Without boundaries, even love can start to feel like intrusion.

And without lines of respect, closeness can slowly turn to erosion.

But boundaries aren’t walls meant to shut people out. They’re thresholds—markings that say, this is sacred, this is safe.

They give relationships shape. They let us know where respect begins and where harm cannot enter.

You can move boundaries over time. You control the shape.

And you can still be generous. You can still be kind. You can still be the one who listens, supports, and loves—

while also saying: this is as far as you may go.

Boundaries are not distance.

They are clarity.

And clarity is a gift.

Because those who truly love you won’t resent your boundaries.

They’ll honor them.

They’ll recognize that the space you’re protecting is where your love has the freedom to grow.
