Why is it so hard to rest without feeling guilty?

On 8 August, women from across Indonesia came together for “Self Care Is Not Selfish”, not just a reflective session, but a full experiential journey into self-care without guilt.

We explored the “inner critic” that tells us to keep going even when we’re tired.

We unpacked where this voice comes from and why so many of us link our worth to productivity.

Through guided exercises, honest conversations, and moments of pause,
We experienced what it feels like to put ourselves first without apology.

By the end of the session, something shifted.

We realised: self care is not indulgence. It’s survival.

One participant put it beautifully:
"I used to think spare time meant I was lazy. Now I know it’s how I protect my sanity."

Thank you to every woman who showed up with honesty and openness.
We’re building more spaces like this.

Happy National Day, Singapore! 🇸🇬❤️

Today we celebrate our country’s journey and the women who are part of it.

From the homes we build,
to the businesses we lead,
to the dreams we chase…

Every woman’s story is part of Singapore’s story.
Here’s to creating a future where every woman feels empowered to live fully and fearlessly.

Majulah Singapura.

You’re strong. But sometimes, you're just exhausted.

You keep showing up.

You try to do everything.

Because people depend on you.

But you get tired too.

And it’s okay to admit it.

You don’t have to carry it all, every day.

You deserve support, just like everyone else.

They tell you you're amazing — but then choose someone else.
You’ve probably heard these before:

🟫 “You should start a business!”
But they don’t help you promote it.

🟫 “You’re doing great at work!”
But when it’s time for a promotion, they pick someone else.

🟫 “You need rest!”
But make you feel guilty when you finally take a break.

People give a lot of advice.
But what we really need is support in action.

💡This is called the difference between mentorship and sponsorship.
Mentors give advice.
Sponsors recommend you. Help you. Speak up for you.

✨ So let’s not just say we support other women...
Let’s show it.

Let’s rise together.

Dreams don’t expire, even if you paused them for a while.

Some of us paused our goals for the kids.
Some chose a safer job when money was tight.
Some just got… tired.

But it’s never too late to try again.
To learn again.
To dream again.

💬 What’s one dream you’ve been wanting to return to?

Share in the comments — or just tag a woman who needs this reminder today.
Let’s keep reminding each other: we’re not behind, we’re on our way.

It’s rare to find a space where women can slow down and feel truly seen.

On Friday, 11 July, we hosted our very first Bahasa-speaking webinar for women across Indonesia —
“Finding Your Way.”

It was more than a session.
It became a space for reflection, honesty, and connection.

We spoke about feeling lost.
About wanting clarity, courage, or simply space to breathe.
And in that one hour, something shifted.

Participants left with words like:

“I feel lighter.”
“I finished feeling happy.”
“I want to join again.”

Thank you to every woman who showed up and shared a part of herself with us.

We’re just getting started.

Ever said “yes” just to avoid hurting someone’s feelings?
Or changed your mind just to keep things peaceful?

Many of us are raised to please, especially as women.
But what happens when pleasing others means ignoring yourself?

This post is a reminder that self-awareness isn’t selfish.
It’s knowing when to say no, when to rest, and when your needs matter too.

Most people think self-awareness means journaling or meditating in peace.

But in real life, it often looks like this:

You’re tired, overwhelmed, and maybe even snapping at people.
Then you pause, breathe, and realise—“I’m not okay right now.”
That moment of honesty? That’s self-awareness.

It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being real with yourself—even during hard days.

You don’t have to chase someone else’s version of success.

You don’t have to follow the same life plan as your friends, your siblings, or even your younger self.

Maybe your ambition today is rest.

Maybe it’s starting again, smaller but stronger.

Ambition doesn’t have to be big or loud.
It just has to be real for you.

Ever feel like you’ve done everything you’re supposed to…
but still feel like it’s not enough?

You keep going. You try your best.

But the doubt doesn’t go away.

Maybe the problem isn’t you.

Maybe it’s the pressure you’ve carried for years.

You don’t have to earn rest.

You don’t have to do more to deserve love.

Avoiding and protecting your peace can feel the same at first — but lead to very different outcomes.

One helps you move forward.

The other keeps you circling the same place.

You don’t need to get it right all the time.

You just need to stay honest with yourself about what you truly need.
