It was a real pleasure to have this conversation with Sakif Chowdhury, the host of Dream Pod Studios, in the comfort of my home.

This conversation is filled with laughters and personal stories - all around my journey to break free from the “perfect life” that looked good but didn’t feel good, to live a life that’s aligned to my truth.

To me, freedom means to be free from my limiting beliefs.

To me, freedom is love: love for myself, for people around me, and love for the world.

To create a life of freedom takes a radical level of honesty. First of all, to yourself.

Admit to yourself what you truly want. This is not easy! Fear of disappointment, and shame - the voice that says: “Who do you think you are to want that?” - can stop us from wanting what we want.

When you’re completely honest with yourself. Here comes a moment of daringness.

You need to, in the words of my coach Bev Barnes, “Dare to Decide”. Dare to decide that you’re going to create the life that is truly yours. That you will…

Pursue your dreams - not your parents’ dreams.

Fulfil your purpose - not the purpose given to you by stereotypes.

Live true to who you really are: a human being filled with unlimited potentials, capable of experiencing boundless love and joy - not the limiting version that you place upon yourself.

Refuse to live a life that looks “good” from the outside but feels bad on the inside.

Because at the end of the day, the only person you can save is the one you see in the mirror. And the only life you were born to take care of is yours.

With love and freedom,
