Hello, I’m Emize.
I’m a woman in tech, a wife and mum to three gorgeous kids. I also have a dog, which still surprises me to this day.
What else? I love food, wellness, women getting paid well and spa days…I quite like Sundays too!
Working mum life, as much as I love it, can be pretty full-on. Add to that my many Type A tendencies (I’m more type B these days though…life mutated my genes or something) it just made sense for me to create this space to track it all.
Somewhere to just be and not overthink it.
A space to share thoughts, experiences and things I’ve done, pondered or loved that don’t always get a chance to take root before something newer or more urgent comes along.
Think work calls, school WhatsApp reminders, “will you read with me?” requests or a flooded toilet; I should probably mention I live in a very old house.
There are several open tabs in my mind and on my screen, all waiting to be cleared during a desperate attempt to start afresh on a Sunday.
So, this is where those thoughts get to live. Somewhere to revisit, reflect and perhaps find encouragement on the less easy days.
I also hope, something here might be useful to other women like me, trying to live full, prosperous lives - spirit, soul and body.
While I’m all for growth, ambition, optimisation and unlocking potential, I’m also learning that there’s a lot to be said for enjoying what already is, rather than constantly chasing what could be.
What to expect here
Dear Sunday is my weekly roundup of wellness-minded reflections, lessons from the week and a sprinkle of all the things bringing me joy on this full journey of life.
Alongside it, I’ll share occasional deep dives into seven areas of life I’m navigating, exploring and, in some cases, still figuring out.
The Wellness Edit - Wellness, recovery and feeling our best without making wellbeing another full-time job.
Life to the Full - Motherhood, family life, faith and the beautiful chaos of trying to fit it all in.
On the Job Front - Career reflections, navigating the job market and the journey towards work that feels more aligned.
Unlocking Potential - Our home renovation journey, with a few life parallels along the way.
Foodie Corner - Recipes, nutrition, meal plans and all the foodie finds worth sharing.
The Movement Edit - Movement, Pilates and building strength for life.
The Joy Edit - The little things bringing me joy. A mandatory feature, because what’s the point of building a full life if we forget to enjoy it?
