Hi, I’m Makaela. Nice to meet you :)

Although you probably stumbled upon this page, i’m really happy you’re here.

This is a place where I am aiming to be 100% authentically myself, by publishing one blog a week full of struggles, good times, bad times, challenges, successes and whatever the heck else is going on in this fun thing we call life.

Scroll down for my brain dump, journaling, diary entry, no holds barred style blogs. No apologies or disclaimers. Simply thoughts from my head, to this page.

Let’s get into it!

The rise of the Strong Independent Woman

I was once told by a man that the saying ‘Strong Independent Woman’ is overrated and makes no sense. Other than just being misogynistic, what he couldn’t comprehend was why there was such an importance placed on the term ‘strong independent woman’. That is what i’m about to dive into. Buckle in.

What happens when you have a values clash?

I am slowly learning through therapy and self-exploration that values are the building blocks to every emotional connection and decision in life. So what happens when you don’t have the same values as someone? Can you get past it, or is it doomed to fail?

Tiny changes, big results

My journey to finding out if small changes over time, rather than big unattainable changes, will make a difference to your life. Starting with coffee. As always.
