I’m BACK.
Over the past two years, I quietly disappeared from the internet. During that time, I went through the darkest period of my life — losing a loved one, another family member undergoing major surgery, and unexpected changes at home. I went from being a confident and fearless professional woman to someone suffering from severe depression. My world collapsed, and my heart was full of regret and grief. With medication and therapy, I was gradually brought back from the edge and slowly began to find myself again.
During that period, I couldn’t bring myself to speak deeply with anyone. I distanced myself from friends and family because I didn’t want to hear painful truths or news I wasn’t ready for. Day after day, I carried on quietly, doing my best to recover and walk out of the shadows.
It took a lot of reflection, effort, and adjustment. But eventually, I overcame depression and returned to a healthier, more positive version of myself.
In 2026, I will keep moving forward — as myself, as a daughter, and as a mother.
Looking back, last year was truly not easy. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way.
At the beginning of 2025, I travelled alone from Tokyo to New York, but unexpectedly ended up hospitalised until I gave birth. After being discharged, I juggled caring for a premature newborn, attending medical appointments, and breastfeeding. Every day was busy yet full, caring for this tiny life. At the same time, I had to sort out his passport, birth certificate, Social Security number, and visa for Japan. I never knew a newborn needed so many documents — it was overwhelming.
I was deeply moved by the miracle of life and the power of medicine, and I am forever grateful to the two incredibly kind and professional doctors in New York who cared for me.
I brought a human being into this world.
After 100 days, I travelled 14 hours back to Tokyo with my three-month-old baby to reunite with my mum. I spent months recovering physically and mentally through yoga, acupuncture, and continued follow-up care.
I also continued attending industry events so I wouldn’t fall behind. By chance, I joined a Spanish project team 🇪🇸 — #EthicHub — continuing my work in #Web3 partnerships and advisory. I kept learning about #AI, began studying website design and optimisation, learned #Elementor, and returned to using #Canva and #Notion. Balancing work and life alone with Bryan was truly tough, but incredibly fulfilling. After my mum returned home, caring for him on my own became an even greater challenge.
Babies change so quickly. Watching him grow from such a tiny little being into the lively boy he is now fills me with pride and love as a mother. I try to stay calm, grounded, and give my love to my son and my mum. They give me strength. Thank you, my son. ❤️
He also started nursery here in Japan — and immediately began “unlocking the virus library”. Since November, we’ve been at the paediatrician almost every week, fighting through each bug together.
I am grateful to the version of myself who never gave up — who kept going until the sunshine returned.
All in all, last year was a beautiful year. And this year will be too.
I will keep levelling up — stronger and better.
Thank you to everyone who has continued to care for me.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year, good health, and every happiness.
Let’s stay in touch ❤️
