  • 42 | Know your PURPOSE in life?or you knew & now you've forgotten. Let's regain motivation together!
    Sep 30 2022

    It's difficult, very difficult, to recognise the moment in your life when you've lost your motivation to thrive, progress, and even live your daily life! But it could happen to any of us! whether it’s triggered from the outside or the inside! It's a horrible feeling that must be accepted! It does happen from time to time... And if we are not cautious, it might truly become our permanent state in life!

    to be aimless, devoid of future motivation, and gloomy...

    We all know that we need to work hard, grow, learn, and be a good role model for our children, but what happens when we find ourselves at the opposite end of the spectrum, so stuck in finding our purpose in life... We don't even know who we want to be, let alone have motivation to become our best selves in the future...

    However, let's be honest: it's not a good situation to be in. It is not only harmful to ourselves, but it can also harm our children's perceptions of the future and opportunities for growth!

    Hearing me from my newly refined condition, I'm going to invite you to face this issue with me this time. I'm confident in saying that I understand what you're saying and that I know what can help you... now, take a deep breath and let’s have a mindful chat together today!

    BONUS offer valid until October 12th, 11:00 PM EST

    Full access to the four-week MamaNest workshops, which will be held on October 120th and 21st, ranging from best self definition to organising your life around your attainable best self and achieving a lifestyle and approach to life that helps you stay on track!

    I hope this offer helps you heal and find your life's purpose one more time, mama! I'm hoping to see you there to apply:
