The reason I write

The reason I write is simple: I prefer writing. It’s how I express myself fully. I often read more than I watch—if I’m watching a video, I read the script instead. I choose blog tutorials over YouTube videos. Sometimes, I combine methods just to develop the habit of watching, but reading and writing remain my main tools for learning.

I write from the heart, honestly, to share my thoughts and experiences. (After reading this, you’ll understand why I focus so much on writing.)

My Struggle with Social Media

I have a problem with social media. Algorithms constantly change and dictate what we should post, when to post, and how to post. What used to be simple—sharing photos—has now become reels, hooks, and viral videos, often with little value. Opening my phone on a Monday morning can feel overwhelming, flooded with content—everyone seems to post exactly at 8:00 AM.

I also struggle with advice being shared without proper expertise. For example, someone might lose weight on a program and then invite others to follow the same plan. But are they certified dietitians? (I know they’re not.) Are professionals guiding the program? (No one knows.) This kind of advice can be harmful, and it frustrates me.

I also notice a trend of women telling others they’re “not made to work from 9 to 5.” Stop dictating what other women should do. Not every woman has the same goals, luxury, or flexibility to choose her schedule or type of work. Theories about work-life alignment or syncing your life with your cycle may be interesting—but they are just theories. They don’t work for everyone. We shouldn’t make women feel guilty, inadequate, or pressured.

If it were up to me, I’d want a 9-to-5 job that brings me financial safety. And I’d still want to give yoga classes, grow my yoga brand, work in coaching, and follow my passion. Do you think I can do all that?

Now imagine watching completely opposite videos every single day—one woman saying, “Follow your dream, climb the corporate ladder, success is beautiful!” and another saying, “I structure my entire life around my cycle.”
Tell me—how would you feel?

Awareness and Choice

We need awareness. Women should have the freedom to choose their path. Not everyone can live entirely by passion, and that’s okay. Women have value in the workforce—they bring skills, appreciation, and unique contributions. Encouraging them to quit their jobs or feel bad about working is misguided. Real empowerment is about choice, not pressure.

My Coaching Journey

When I started emotional coaching, communication, and later evolved into neuroscience work, I opened an Instagram page. I was advised to focus on logos, branding, colors, and even creating a website. All I really wanted was a simple calendar to organize appointments. Three years later, the website remains unused—it constantly needed updates as my work and programs evolved.

I realized I was trying to fit into a system that drained me. Marketing, social media, and the pressure to maintain an image were exhausting. So, I decided to start from scratch, focusing on clear purpose and vision.

As I continue working with members, my approach evolves. Workshop topics change—from Reinvent Her to Empower Her, from vulnerability to communication strategies. This evolution is natural, real, and necessary. Life is about growth and change, not resisting it. The key is noticing how these changes serve us.

Choosing Authenticity

Now, I focus on what resonates with me and my work. Authenticity comes first—not algorithms, Meta, Google, or AI. We choose our narrative. We decide what serves us and our members.

Why I Write

Why do I write this? I often feel the urge to share videos on social media, but I always end up writing instead. For me, some things are easier to express in words. I don’t like being handed a manual when it comes to sharing ideas, even though I appreciate structure. I often find myself questioning the sources of videos I watch, and many times, I end up unfollowing pages if the content doesn’t truly resonate with me.

I write also to see if you feel the same struggle, to connect with those who experience this overwhelm. And, most importantly, I write because it makes me happy. Writing allows me to think, reflect, and share authentically in a way that videos or social media posts never could.

So here’s my final question to you: how do you navigate this constant stream of advice, expectations, and “shoulds”? How do you stay true to your path while engaging with the world around you?
