Not Just a Joke
Some words sound like jokes. But when they are repeated often enough, they don’t feel light anymore. It wasn’t about what was said. It was about what slowly changed between them. There is a moment when we realize that “just joking” is not always harmless. And that’s where the real conversation begins. #motherhood #familydynamics #siblingrelationship…

ON : Where though ?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? The question always brings me back to a quiet office, sitting across from a manager, filling out an annual review. Thinking about targets, planning the next steps, choosing the right training to “get there.” I’ve always been a little impressed by people who can answer it without…

ON : Happiness…
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? Do we really need something to be happy? It sounds like a simple question, but the more I sit with it, the more it makes me pause. Because when I look at my days, they are never perfectly arranged. There are always small interruptions, small delays,…

A change that changed everything
Describe one positive change you have made in your life. If I have to choose one positive change that truly shaped my life, it would be this : I learned to change the way I see people. It sounds simple. But for me, it changed everything. I used to be a little afraid of my…

Slightly Out of Place
It started like any ordinary day. I put a load of laundry into the washing machine and went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Nothing special, just the quiet rhythm of the house moving around me. The machine was set to a sports cycle, about an hour, so I let it run without thinking…

ON : Best or Worst or just…
What animals make the best/worst pets? I wouldn’t consider myself an expert on this question. We haven’t had much experience with pets, at least not in the sense of animals we keep close as part of the family. But from what I’ve observed, what makes a pet “good” or “bad” often comes less from the…

ON : The work I would do anyway.
What job would you do for free? Before answering, it helps to pause on the word job. A job, by definition, is something we are paid to do. So if we take away the payment, what remains is simply work we choose to give, freely, and often more intentionally. If I reframe the question that…

When Truth Take a Day Off
We spend a lot of time teaching our children to tell the truth. And we insist on it. From when they are very young, we repeat it in simple ways. Be honest. Tell me what really happened. Don’t say something if it isn’t true. It’s not just about correcting a behavior, it’s about building something…

The Quiet Week
Not every week gives you something to write about. Some pass quietly, without asking for attention. This was one of them. My husband was away on a business trip, so the rhythm of the house shifted a little. I drove my son back and forth between school and his hockey training, the same roads, the…

ON : At five, did I even know ?
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? To be honest, I don’t remember what I wanted to be when I was five. I think that question only started to make sense to me much later, around middle school. Back then, I said I wanted to be an air…
