Am I The Drama? Thoughts After My Recent Existential Crisis
No seriously, am I? This week I found some old pictures from my first blog in 2016 and since then I’ve had 4 blogs on different things basically trying to find my niche. I have a problem which I’m aware many people would find to be a blessing, I’m good at a lot of things. And yes, I recognize this privilege especially considering a number of people (particularly in this country, not sure about others) don’t even know what they’re interested in. I mean the education system in

Allowing Myself To Receive Community Care
Hello Sunshine☀️ Last we spoke here, I was sharing why and how to make space for community care in the world of self-care. In that post I spoke more about giving community care, which I think, or at least in my personal experience, is easier than receiving. In the last few months or so, I’ve really gone through a challenging season of letting people in, asking for help and not running away when I receive the love that I’ve been wanting and that I so freely give to others. It’

Dear Wendy, I Forgive You
This blog post is quite different from the rest. It’s a journal entry & letter to myself and of course, anyone who resonates. Hi Wendy -past & present versions. I’m writing to us today because I feel like I need to let go and forgive us, forgive me for all the ways we’ve fallen short of who we are & want to be. Holding on to this guilt isn’t making me any better or proving how sorry I am. If anything, it’s limiting my growth. Holding on to the guilt is me choosing to define m

Back To Factory Settings
Over the past 3 weeks or so I’ve had it rough. My social battery has been depleted twice, my anxiety has been through the roof, my work life has also been pretty busy and I was also going through some random personal issues. Needless to say, this adult midterm has been a gift to me. I needed to rest and reset so I can go back to functioning at my optimum level. I know I’ve said this 100 times but rest is one of the most important ingredients for success, happiness, health and

What We Owe To Ourselves
If you interact with my content here or on Instagram, or with similar content, chances are self-care, self-love and self-improvement are important to you. You could just be starting out or you could be deep into it. Either way, there are some habits that are essentially self-care that we hardly ever talk about. It’s the hard parts of this journey but they’re also the most important ones in order to stay rooted and grounded positively on this journey of self while also staying

Finding My Authentic Self: My Journey
I don’t know about you, but for a long time when people would tell me ‘just be yourself’ I really struggled to understand what that meant. Who is Wendy? Am I not being myself currently? In fact one of my trauma responses resulted in blocking and repressing my entire childhood. I remember even telling my best friends (Abi & Musyoka) and therapist how I sometimes felt like a clone cause I had no idea who I was and I barely remembered my childhood. I adopted and absorbed people’

Hi, I'm Wendy & I'm A Rebel
I would’ve never guessed that one day the word rebel would be used to describe me. It’s Tuesday 23rd Nov at 11:44 and I’ve just taken The Four Tendencies Quiz and found out that I’m apparently a rebel. I read my report and it actually makes so much sense and is among the most important discoveries I’ve made about myself this year. Before I explain why this is true and how having this information is super beneficial, let me start with the backstory that led to this revelation

I'm 23 & Other Stories
Today is my golden birthday (meaning I turn 23 on the 23rd) and on my birthdays, I like to spend time alone to introspect about my wins, losses, strengths, weaknesses and just life in general. So I thought of having this first post as a reflection of my life lately. This past year has been quite the interesting one. From finishing school, to starting a small business and all the things in between I feel grateful and full of happiness. My biggest flex though, has been learning
