wellness is shaped by far more than what you eat or how you move: it’s influenced by your relationships, your self-talk, your habits, your purpose and the inner world you’re quietly cultivating every day!! the older i get, the more i realise that everything really is that deep: what we consume emotionally, mentally, and spiritually compounds 🤍
"if exercise could be packed in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation." ~ dr. robert n. butler. in this blog post, i discuss the well-documented/ evidence-backed benefits of weightlifting for women! it is absolutely mind-blowing to think about the impact it has on: disease management, bone density, joint stabilisation, functional strength and mental health <3 go gymmm!
another vulnerable blog post for this week! as the year wraps up, i've been reflecting a lot on how i've grown. in many ways, i'm incredibly proud of the ways in which: i've asserted myself more boldly, bet on my aspirations and connected meaningfully with the people in my life who matter most! however, i also realised that i've been struggling with outsourcing my inner compass. i.e. silencing my own intuition, crowdsourcing opinions and leaning on external validation as a crutch. that was a super profound realisation for me! here's to 2026 and re-building or re-fortifying that belief i have in my own discernment (my favorite word right now!!).
to me, this is one of THE coolest spaces in health sciences: food as medicine. our diets influence everything from: inflammation, gut health, neurotransmitter production, blood sugar regulation, immune resilience and even how our genes express themselves over time. again, this isn't about: perfection, restriction, moralising food choices or advocating for “superfoods” replacing medical care. more so, it's about raising awareness about: how diet is undeniably a core pillar, upholding our health and wellbeing!
the last few months have been tricky for me to navigate... i realised by and large, this has been because i've struggled to discern what is in my realm of control versus what isn't - and so, i've been applying pressure on the wrong things! this blog post really applies to anyone and everyone: whether it's about a career, relationship, lifestyle or any other goal/ ambition you may have, we can't force things into existence. we can, however, stack the odds in our favor <3
most people don’t realise how differently fabrics behave once we throw them away: some break down in months, while others stay on the planet for centuries. in this post, i break down credible, research-backed data on biodegradation timelines across natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic fibers and why these differences matter for our skin and the environment! if you care about conscious consumerism, circularity or simply want to understand your clothes beyond the label, this guide is for you!
hobbies aren’t just ‘pastimes’ - they’re biologically essential! neuroscience shows that different types of hobbies activate different neural systems, improving stress regulation, focus, emotional resilience, memory and long-term brain health. this post breaks down why your brain thrives on diverse forms of play, movement, creativity, learning and inner work… and how the right mix can change the way you think, feel and show up in your life :)
food looks different everywhere: not just because of culture, but because of policy, regulation, access and what each society considers “normal.” after living in the us, south korea and singapore + spending months in europe, i started noticing just how deeply food systems shape our health. this post breaks down the differences, the surprising insights and the habits we can learn from each region!
this blog post was inspired by a conversation i had at the bar (!)... it got me thinking about whether there are some innate characteristics that lend themselves to corporate vs. entrepreneurship! it also gave me space to reflect on my own journey: including my year and a half stint at kpmg - in healthcare & life sciences consulting - and now (and hopefully, forever hehe) building builtwithhabit!
the founder journey has a way of holding up a mirror: showing you not just what you’re building, but who you’re becoming in the process! these six mindset reframes have reshaped how I think about progress, self-trust, and growth; they’re lessons in patience, perspective, and remembering that discomfort is often data.
i never anticipated that the gym would become such a central part of my life. what started as an hour (or three!) of structure during the pandemic turned into my anchor: this is the story of how strength training shaped not just my body, but the way i live, think, and build my business!
i really feel like food shouldn’t feel as complicated as it does right now... this post is about how i approach eating in a way that fuels strength, supports gut health, and still celebrates flavor, culture, and creativity!
i spent six weeks in london (and a month traveling around southern europe before that!): my longest stretch away from my desk since starting builtwithhabit. i thought stepping away would slow me down, but it did the opposite. this is a love letter to the city that reminded me why creativity, connection, and curiosity are just as essential to building a business as discipline and focus!
the secret to transformation isn’t willpower: it’s systems and wiring. in this post, i unpack the brain science behind habit formation and how i’ve leveraged it to build both strength in the gym and builtwithhabit from the ground up!
with so much jargon on clothing tags, it can be hard to understand what fabrics we should be avoiding versus opting for! this skin-safe fabrics deep dive summarises the 'go's' and 'no-go's' in the garments space, with some insight into what we're doing differently at bwh!
in a world where it feels like everything is quietly toxic, i share a simple framework for making your home a little safer, one room at a time. from the kitchen to the closet, this guide breaks down red flags to watch out for and low-tox swaps you can start with today (without overhauling your entire life overnight)!
sometimes, wellness isn’t always as “green” as it looks. in this post, i dive into the surprising environmental costs of supplements, skincare, gadgets, and gear. i also share the small, everyday shifts that actually move the needle.
an unfiltered look at the quiet pivots, unexpected detours, and “canon events” that shaped my path: from science and consulting to starting a skin-safe activewear brand. this isn’t just a story about business. it’s about building a brand that feels aligned with who i am!
