Growing Beyond an Unfulfilling Marriage
Saturday, April 5
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she must pause and ask herself: Am I truly living, or am I just surviving?
For years, I believed that staying in my marriage was the "right" thing to do. I told myself that sacrifices were part of love. I buried my dreams, dimmed my light, and silenced the voice inside me that whispered, “There’s more to life than this.”
But lately, something in me has shifted. I've started to redefine what rich means to me. It's no longer just about money in the bank or material things — it’s about emotional freedom, peace of mind, purpose, and personal growth.
And the truth is, I can’t step into that richness if I’m constantly feeling emotionally drained, undervalued, or stuck in a relationship that no longer nurtures who I’m becoming.
A Rich Mindset Begins with Radical Self-Honesty
One of the most powerful steps in embracing a rich mindset is being radically honest with yourself. For me, it meant admitting that I’ve outgrown the version of myself that stayed silent just to keep the peace.
I’ve learned that peace bought at the expense of your own soul isn’t peace at all — it’s self-abandonment.
Growth Demands Space
Just like a plant can’t thrive in a pot that’s too small, I’ve realized that I can’t grow if I keep shrinking myself to fit into a marriage that feels more like a cage than a partnership.
I want to thrive — spiritually, emotionally, financially. I want to build a life that reflects the woman I am becoming. That requires brave decisions. That requires faith.
You Are Not Selfish for Choosing You
Let’s be clear: choosing to grow out of a relationship that limits you isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
It’s saying, “I matter too.”
It’s saying, “My purpose matters.”
And most importantly, it’s saying, “I trust that God didn’t bring me this far to live a life half-lived.”
What a Rich Mindset Looks Like
Believing you are worthy of more, even when it’s uncomfortable to pursue it.
Taking accountability for your healing and growth.
Letting go of what’s no longer aligned — no matter how familiar it feels.
Trusting in abundance, not scarcity — in love, life, and opportunity.
Surrounding yourself with people who pour into your vision instead of draining your energy.
Moving Forward, Not in Fear — But in Faith
I'm not writing this because I have it all figured out. I’m writing this because I’m choosing courage over comfort. I'm choosing to believe that the best version of me is on the other side of this difficult chapter.
If you’re reading this and it resonates, know this: you are not alone. You are allowed to want more. You are allowed to pursue a life that reflects your dreams and honors your soul.
This is not the end — this is the beginning of your rich girl era — the one where you choose healing, growth, purpose, and power.
And I’m right here with you, walking the path, one brave step at a time.

Finding Love, Reconciliation, and Balance
Monday, May 6
Hey there, lovely souls! Today, I want to share a piece of my heart with you—a story of love, trials, and the messy but beautiful journey of marriage and motherhood.
Let's rewind a bit. Picture this: a bustling office, the clickety-clack of keyboards, and the occasional aroma of coffee wafting through the air. That's where it all began—the subtle glances, the shared laughs, and before I knew it, I found myself falling for someone who wasn't my spouse. Yep, you heard that right.
Now, before you judge, let me take you behind the scenes. You see, being a mom and a wife while also climbing the corporate ladder is no easy feat. Balancing deadline and date nights with your significant other—it's enough to make anyone's head spin.
And then, there's the allure of the office crush—the witty banter, the understanding nods, the sense of camaraderie that comes with tackling projects side by side. It's a dangerous dance, one that I found myself caught up in before I even realized it.
But here's the thing about marriage: it's messy, it's complicated, but it's also worth fighting for. As the days turned into weeks and the guilt gnawed at my conscience, I knew I had a choice to make. Did I succumb to the allure of the forbidden, or did I roll up my sleeves and fight tooth and nail for what truly mattered?
Spoiler alert: I chose the latter. Because beneath the surface of doubt and temptation, there lies a love that's deeper than any office flirtation—a love that's woven into the fabric of family, of commitment, of the shared dreams and memories that make life worth living.
So, I did what any determined mama bear would do—I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I poured my heart and soul into rekindling the flames of romance with my spouse, into showing up not just as a wife, but as a partner, a confidante, a best friend.
And let me tell you, it wasn't easy. There were tears, there were tough conversations, there were moments when I wanted to throw in the towel and call it quits. But through it all, there was a glimmer of hope—a belief that with time, patience, and a whole lot of love, we could weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side.
And you know what? We did. Because here's the beautiful truth about marriage: it's not about avoiding the storms, but about learning to dance in the rain—to hold each other close, to weather the highs and lows together, to emerge battered but unbroken, hand in hand.
So, to all the moms out there juggling a million hats, to all the wives feeling lost in the chaos of everyday life, and to anyone who's ever found themselves tempted by the allure of something new and exciting, I see you. I feel you. And I'm here to tell you that you're not alone.
Keep fighting the good fight, keep chasing after love with reckless abandon, and above all, keep believing that the best is yet to come. Because if there's one thing I've learned on this wild journey called life, it's that love—true, messy, imperfect love—is always worth fighting for.
A Day to Remember: Family Fun at Vano Beach, Marigondon Lapu Lapu City
Sunday, April 28
Hey there, fellow beach lovers! Today, I'm excited to share with you all about our recent family trip to Vano Beach in Marigondon Lapu Lapu City. It was a day filled with sunshine, sand, and some much-needed quality time with the ones we love most.
Now, before I dive into the sandy details, let me paint a quick picture of where we're at. Lately, life has been a bit of a whirlwind for us. Between juggling work, household chores, and the everyday hustle and bustle, my spouse and I realized that our marriage had been on the rocks. We knew we needed to hit pause and prioritize what truly matters: our family, especially our precious kiddos.
So, we decided to embark on a mini adventure to Vaño Beach. Nestled in the heart of Marigondon Lapu Lapu City, this picturesque haven has undergone some remarkable updates as of our visit.
First things first, let's talk about the beach itself. Vaño Beach has always been known for its pristine shores and crystal-clear waters, but the recent enhancements truly took our breath away. The beachfront now boasts more spacious areas for picnics and relaxation, complete with sturdy new cottages and cozy beach loungers. It's the perfect spot to soak up some vitamin sea while basking in the warm Cebuano sun.
For the more adventurous souls in the family (yes, that includes our little ones!), there are exciting water activities available. From boat riding and also a lot of swimming gears there's no shortage of ways to make a splash and create lasting memories together.
