A new kind of stable.
“How do you find balance running a business like this and maintaining your sanity?” Was the question he asked me. “Ahem… So you’re assuming that I’m sane?” They had sent me these questions a few days before and I don’t really like to go to deep into prepping answers coz then I suck on the spot with it, I rather…

Untitled.
I decided to name this post Untitled because I’m typing it out in my text editor and that’s what it says at the top of the document. I pause. The cursor flashes before me over and over, as the seconds pass, and I realise – that is how I’m feeling, Untitled. Time is a funny thing. We have so much…

What if…
What if there’s a brand new Mother and her newborn baby. What if she’s struggling so much and feeling so overwhelmed and needs emotional support.
