  • It Took Me 34 Years to Find My Voice

    In September 2024, I hit my rock bottom. Yet no one around me knew just how much I was struggling. To a degree, even I hadn’t realised it.

    I never asked for help, not since I was a little girl. Not even from my husband, who I literally expected to be a mind reader.

    And none of it could change until I started speaking up for myself.

  • The Universe Laughed at My Plans

    If you had met me before kids, you would have met a woman who was dead set on her career. My husband and I were these two independent people kicking goals and loving life. 

    When I unexpectedly fell pregnant with our son in 2022, I genuinely thought I'd be back at work within the year, pushing myself towards whatever the next goal was. 

    What I hadn't accounted for was how I would slowly start putting myself last. And more importantly, how unaware I'd be of it.

  • The Life I Thought I Wanted | Official Trailer

    I had my life planned out. And I mean planned. I knew where I wanted to be in two years, five years, ten years. I was doing everything I thought I was supposed to do, and for a long time, I genuinely believed I was building the life I wanted.

    Well, the universe had other plans. And somewhere in everything that followed, The Soft Power Rising was born.

    If you've ever found yourself wondering whether the life you've worked so hard to build is actually the life you want, I think this space might be for you.
