Flourish-Her: Empowering Women on Entrepreneurial Journeys

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.

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...

At the start of the year, my sister gifted me something truly special—a yoga retreat. She’s been visiting this serene oasis for the past three years, using it as a space to step away from the busyness of life, relax, and reconnect with herself.

We spent months trying to align our schedules, and as ...

Over the weekend, I took a walk by the sea. No matter the weather, the ocean always invigorates me—the scent of the salt air, the rhythm of the waves, and the beauty of the sunset over the water.

It’s a moment to reconnect with nature and with myself. As I strolled along the seafront, I noticed how d...

The entrepreneurial journey is filled with challenges, and at times, it can feel like the world is pressing us to make choices against our will or that we’ve run out of options.

Recently, I faced such a moment. After months of working toward approval for an application, my request was denied. It wa...
