As a woman in my 40s, this is what wellbeing actually looks like for me.

After burning out multiple times juggling work with uni, then work with running my wellbeing studio, I learned health is invisible when you have it and everything when you don't.

Burning out taught me what actually matters. Not 5am routines or elaborate meal prep. Not what looks impressive online. Just sustainable practices that work with my real life, the kind I can maintain for years, not weeks.

It's about living long in a body that feels good. Not what it looks like, but what it feels like. Those Blue Zone centenarians were onto something. They lived to 100+ without tracking a single calorie or following a single wellness trend.

So I started choosing differently. Simpler. More sustainable.

That's why my meals follow 80/20 without counting. Why some days my movement is just my walking pad. Why I've learned to recognise when my nervous system needs to downshift and actually honour that instead of pushing through. Why reading trashy novels is part of my rest practice.

This isn't wellness perfection. It's sustainability.

In January 2026, I'm moving to Ubud for 12 months. Taking a sabbatical from project management. Choosing a slower pace. This is what that choice can look like.

This is even flow ⚖️

What does health look like for you?

Your nervous system is as unique as your fingerprint.

What calms your colleague might activate your stress response. What helps you feel grounded might overwhelm someone else.

This is why some wellness advice doesn't work—it might be designed for a different nervous system baseline than yours.

When you understand your specific patterns, you can focus energy on strategies that actually work for your system.

When weeks get overwhelming, these are the 8 items that keep me eating well without adding more to my plate.

No fancy recipes required.

No meal prep marathons.

Just practical choices that work when cooking from scratch feels impossible.

The common thread? They all remove a barrier - whether that's prep time, decision fatigue, or food waste.

What's your go-to item for hectic weeks?

Your 3pm sugar craving isn't simple. There's so much at play.

Set point theory.

Microbiome composition.

Your brain genuinely needing fuel.

Chronic stress mode.

Skipped meals.

Gut bacteria sending signals.

Decision fatigue.

Food and nutrition is a complicated beast—mechanisms are often oversimplified when the reality is far more complex.

This is why "just have more willpower" doesn't work. When you understand the multiple systems at play, you can stop blaming yourself and start working with your body instead of against it.

And sometimes, like the ad says, you just need to have a break, have a Kit Kat! 🍫

Restriction creates obsession.

Permission creates peace.

My approach? 80% home cooked meals following Mediterranean style eating—it's simple, evidence-based, and easy to stick with. 20% is room for dessert.

When it's this straightforward, it stops being another thing draining your mental energy and just becomes part of your routine. You're not overthinking every food choice or using up your executive function on decisions that should feel natural. That's what makes it sustainable.

Also, I genuinely love dessert. That brownie in the first photo? .sg —the best brownie I've ever eaten. I went back twice in 4 days. Absolutely worth it.

Food doesn't need to be complicated. And it definitely doesn't need guilt.

Building habits that actually stick isn't about willpower.

It's about working with how your brain naturally creates patterns.

These five strategies come from research on habit formation - and they're designed for real life:

✔️Start small: When you begin with 1-5% changes, you build momentum without overwhelming your system. Small shifts create lasting neural pathways.

✔️Attach to existing habits: Link your new habit to something you already do consistently (like brushing your teeth). Your brain's established routines make the new pattern easier to follow.

✔️Write it down: Being specific about when, where, and how increases your follow-through. Vague intentions rarely stick.

✔️ The 12-month test: Ask yourself: can I see myself maintaining this a year from now? If not, it's worth adjusting the approach.

✔️ Embrace being human: Missed a day? That's normal. The habit isn't broken - just pick up where you left off.

This is what sustainable change looks like. No rigid rules. Just systems that work with your packed schedule.

What's one habit you're working on right now?

When your body won’t let you sleep, it might be protecting you for good reason 🧠✨

We’ve all been there - exhausted but wired, staring at the ceiling despite trying every sleep hack. What if your sleeplessness isn’t a problem to fix, but your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do?

Modern life keeps us in constant low-level vigilance through neuroception - our body’s unconscious threat detection system.

Between impossible deadlines, overflowing inboxes, and never getting that “all clear” feeling, our nervous system stays activated even when we’re physically safe.

The research shows sleep requires the ultimate expression of safety. Your body must completely trust it can release its protective scanning. This isn’t about staying calm - it’s about building flexibility to shift appropriately when your environment signals safety.

Instead of fighting activation, try the cocooning approach 2-3 hours before bed with soft lighting, slow breathing, organised spaces, and longer exhales. Think of it as having a conversation with your nervous system in the language it understands: safety cues.

Building resilience isn’t about being invulnerable - it’s about recovery and honouring your body’s natural rhythms. What if flexibility, not perfection, is the key you’ve been missing?
