Flourish-Her: Empowering Women on Entrepreneurial Journeys

A few days ago, I received a box of farm-fresh produce delivered straight to my door.

Not just any produce—this was the kind of selection that made me feel like I had a personal farmer picking out the best of the harvest just for me.

Baby carrots and beets so fresh they still had all their...

On Sunday night, wildfires broke out on the Table Mountain range.

By Tuesday, strong winds had carried the flames toward the City Bowl, where I live, and other areas.

The air was thick with smoke.

Ash and fire debris blew into my home, forcing me to shut my windows.

That night, I fell asleep to...

At the start of the year, we often feel a surge of enthusiasm for our goals.

But within a few weeks, that excitement can start to fade.

I've found what helps is being part of a supportive community.

In January, I joined a 31-day challenge to send a daily email.

Each day, there was a thread in the...

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...

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...

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

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

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...
