This guest post by my dear friend and writer Hui Zhen captures a part of my behind-the-scenes journey with Lilynage. Learning deep lymphatic self-massage was never a straight path. It has unfolded as a by product of many pivots, trial and error, and moments of rediscovery. From ceramics to aromatherapy to wellness coaching, each step carried me closer to a practice that truly resonates more with what I would like to do. If you’ve ever wondered how to, or whether it’s ok to change direction, to pivot slightly or a lot, this I hope is a reminder that every detour has its meaning and is beautiful in its own way.

Knowing Your Why: The Key to Health and Fulfillment

If you've ever found yourself caught in the cycle of social comparison, you're not alone. It's human nature for us to look at the success of peers and feel frustrated, thinking, "Why don't I have that?" or "How did my life turn out this way?" This comparison game can significantly impact our mental health and self-esteem.

For many women in their 30s to 60s, it can feel like life is passing by while others seem to have everything we want—a thriving career, a loving family, financial stability, or even just a sense of fulfillment. This constant comparison can lead to negative thoughts, frustration, sadness, and disappointment with ourselves, making it hard to appreciate the unique path we're on.

But what if we could shift our focus inward, away from external validation, and rediscover the beauty in our own journey?

In this post, we’ll explore why we compare ourselves to others, how it impacts our well-being, and practical steps to shift your focus inward to build a life you truly love and enjoy. By the end, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how to stop comparing yourself to others and embrace your own path with confidence and grace.
