Summary: How a random conversation with a stranger brought me to tears in realizing my patterns of perfectionism and FOMO. Since I just recently became a life coach, I was always excited to meet other coaches and learn from them. I was playing tennis with a neighbor’s son, an old […]
Part of the “Dr. Tooni” women’s health and empowerment project: “Self-Love Shoes: All About the Right Fit.” This random metaphor for romantic relationships just popped into my head one day. It started off as “how I convey that a partner who isn’t a good fit for you may feel good […]
settling down
Summary: My thoughts on romantic love and “settling down” as a woman is expected to by age 30, otherwise she is considered a “Leftover Woman” in some cultures. I’ve always placed a high emphasis on relationships, whether familial, platonic, or romantic. As a people-pleaser for most of my life, I […]
we are one
Summary: What current events have taught me, and given me further insights into why I travel. I travel to be educated, to be humbled, to learn, because I know we are one. I don’t want to be stuck in my own bubble of a country. Like many others, I’ve found […]

love every day
My father (an anesthesiologist) has been sick for the past 3 weeks. Fever, fatigue, and a patchy spot in his left lung on chest x-ray. Though he tested negative for COVID-19 twice, we still highly suspect that they are false negatives (the tests are unfortunately not very accurate). He is […]
covid 19
These are truly crazy times we’re living in now. It felt necessary to dedicate an entire post to the COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) pandemic. Some say this is World War III, with an invisible enemy. I couldn’t agree more. From what we’ve seen so far, it seems to have a 13% […]
financial independence person jumping
Summary: Financial Independence, Retire Early (F.I.R.E/FIRE revolution), and how this was the life philosophy I never knew I had, all along. Happy 2020, everyone!! I can’t believe how quickly time has gone by. I haven’t posted in over 2 months!? A number of things happened, such as my tablet pen breaking […]
