News Alert: Between Friends

Throughout my life, I’ve always been curious about people’s life stories, believing that everyone has something special that shapes them.

Small talk doesn't interest me; I prefer delving deep into conversations. (I know people sometimes are quite surprised with questions that I might have!) While I may not have a large circle of friends, those around me earn my trust and admiration on various levels.

Nearly everyone in my circle (about 99% of them!) has intriguing stories or insights. So, I've decided to share their stories with a broader audience, hoping to inspire or assist others along the way.

Introducing "Between Friends," a series of chats with friends about their lives, backgrounds, and experiences. Each month, I plan to feature different topics—from single parenthood to raising differently-abled children to property ownership in Bali, and more!

The first session features a friend from my Philips days, a former editor at Mommies Daily. Now a single parent residing in Jakarta with her teenage daughter, she'll be the first to share her life story, discussing the challenges of single parenthood and pursuing a career in Jakarta.

Stay tuned for the upcoming blog post, where she'll unfold her experiences and insights. I'll also be keen to hear your thoughts and feedback.
