Darling, let’s get one thing straight: there is nothing sexier than a woman with something interesting to say. It’s not your Instagram feed or your wardrobe that makes you unforgettable, it’s the way your mind works, the conversations you spark, and the wisdom you bring to the table. Sure, your winged eyeliner might be sharp enough to cut glass, and your curls might bounce like they’ve got their own PR team, but let’s not forget that the most dazzling thing in any room is a woman who knows her mind, and dares to use it.

You know what really gets on my nerves? When people look at where I am and say, “Wow, you’re so lucky.” As if I just tripped and fell into my successes like some rom-com protagonist who accidentally stumbles into the arms of a billionaire. Babe, if luck had anything to do with this, I’d have won the lottery by now and be sipping a cocktail on a private island. The truth? I’ve failed more times than you’ve even tried. And I say that with love (and maybe a little sass).

Listen up, ladies. It’s time to stop being the side character in your own life. You’re not just the quirky friend, the emotional support human, or heaven forbid an NPC. You’re the main event, the leading lady, the It Girl of your own cinematic masterpiece. Welcome to Main Character Energy 101, where we raise our standards, boost our confidence, and take control of our lives like the powerhouse queens we are.

Life in your 20s is like being handed a blank page and a dozen pens, with everyone shouting different things you "should" write down. It’s exhilarating, overwhelming, and, if we're being honest, messy. Somewhere in this chaos, I’ve realised one thing: emotional intelligence isn’t just a skill… it’s survival.

There was a time when I thought ‘no’ was a dirty word. I’d bend over backwards to please people, say yes to every request, and overcommit myself until I was running on fumes. But let me tell you, darling, exhaustion is not a cute look. A high-value woman doesn’t just exist to accommodate others; she curates her life with intention. And that means wielding the power of a well-placed no like a queen brandishing her sceptre.

There’s something magical about stepping into the night as a 20-something woman. The air feels electric, the possibilities endless, and my confidence radiates from the perfect combination of my favorite dress and that red lipstick I save for "just because" occasions. I’ve learned to embrace these nights not just for the fun, but for the unapologetic way they allow me to reclaim my power, my sensuality, and my laughter.

There’s a particular kind of silence that settles over a city on a Friday night, just as the party crowds begin to buzz and heels click in unison like a ritualistic drumbeat. Somewhere in the distance, champagne corks fly and laughter spills out of blacked-out Ubers. And yet, there I am, cocooned in my flat, hair in a claw clip, robe loosely tied, sipping peppermint tea like it’s Dom Pérignon. Blissfully unbothered.

I used to believe that openness was the key to connection. That in order to build real relationships, you had to let people in completely unfiltered, raw, and without hesitation. I wore my heart on my sleeve, thinking that honesty and vulnerability would guarantee understanding. But what I didn’t realise was that not everyone deserves full access to you. Not everyone needs to know your thoughts, your plans, your heartbreaks, or your next move.
