Embracing a Newfound Sense of Purpose

I hope this newsletter finds you well and you are enjoying a moment of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Today, I want to share a heartfelt reflection on the concept of purpose and its profound impact on our lives.

Purpose: ‘Why you do something or why something exists.’ - Cambridge Dictionary

In recent months, my family and I have navigated through some tough emotional challenges, witnessing the decline in the health of a dear one and their final departure from this life. Communicating this to our little star, our three-year-old bundle of joy, added another layer of complexity. While the journey was emotionally taxing, the experience has gifted me a renewed sense of energy and purpose.

Amidst the feelings of loss, a newfound determination has blossomed within me, propelling me to make a difference in the world. As we take a moment to heal, my focus has shifted towards reaching out and helping others, acknowledging the pain resonating globally due to war, and environmental disasters, but also closer to home, and the everyday struggles we all face.

A New Vision for the Little Star Design Studio

This newsletter serves as a glimpse into the exciting vision I have for my company. As we approach the new year. I am expanding on and reopening select services to provide you with various personalised resources, designed to nurture emotional resilience and support positive mental health for both parents and professionals. Along with a curated set of resources you can access via a monthly subscription based on the 7 C’s of Emotional Resilience.
