Hi, I’m a mom but I’m also ME - a self-intro

Hello there, my name is Belinda 😚

Ever since the arrival of my baby, the role and identity of a mom has more or less taken over my life, so here’s an attempt to remind myself of all the other parts that make me ME.

—————————

I identify as a millennial, but I guess ‘95 is somewhere in the grey zone haha ✌🏼

I got married at 26 💍, and became a mum 👩🏻 and homeowner at 27 yay 🏠 - of course, with my husband who is 8 years older

☝🏼Facts about me:

♈️ Aries. ENFP - Campaigner.

🌱 Born vegetarian and turned vegan in 2015 (alliums-free - onion, garlic, leek, chives, shallots, etc.)

📚👩‍🎓 Science stream (PCME) in JC > Major in Chinese Language in NUS FASS

~gap year~

💼 contract teacher with MOE for 4 months > vegan home-based biz (just nice covid happened) > customer communications role at a superfoods company > contract-admin role (procurement-related) at NUS

Interests: Cooking, baking, yoga, singing, teaching, creating random stuff, writing, learning languages, learning about babies and parenting, natural health, plant-based nutrition, Chinese culture and history

As a mom: obsessed with my baby, (trying to be) chill with things, aiming to be natural and gentle in my parenting (no sleep training, no hard disciplining or timeouts), baby-led weaning but flexible, making sure to prioritise self-care too.

As a salaryman: not v interested in climbing the corporate ladder but will do what I can to do my job well, happy to have enough to get by and also when I have time and space outside work to do what I love. values work-life balance and integration. extra happy if the work is meaningful or exciting to me.

Future plans: I hope to get back into yoga teaching (I completed my YTT200H back in 2021 then got pregnant 🥹) and carry on my home-based business (selling vegan bakes and kimchi) somewhere down the line. For now, family and stability first 🥲🙏🏼

—————————

I hope this gives a great overview about me - definitely still way more to me than just these, so feel free to ask me anything you may be curious about. 😄

I’d love to connect if you share similar interests or experiences! ☺️

Till next time,

Beoz
