Hi, I’m Lia—a woman, a seeker, a survivor, and a storyteller.

I was born into a world of questions, raised by love that chose me, and shaped by the trials that life never warned me about. I’ve walked through abandonment, betrayal, abuse, grief, and heartbreak—not just once, but again and again. And yet, here I am: not bitter, not broken—but becoming.

This blog is my gift.
To myself, on my birthday this year of 2025!
And to anyone out there who feels alone in their struggle, uncertain in their silence, or lost in their healing.

Over the years, I’ve worked as a leader in human resources, holding space for others while learning how to hold space for myself. I’ve also lived across cultures, survived a divorce, experienced spiritual visions, carried and lost a child, and risen from mental health struggles with a stronger spirit than I ever thought I had.

My blog is a place for:

• Stories from my memoir
• Soulful reflections on healing, love, solitude, and resilience
• Creative expressions, ideas or projects from hobbies and else, like painting, cooking, etc
• Spiritual and emotional insight that I hope will meet you right where you are
• Essential Life View which gather from experiences

This is not a perfect blog. It’s not curated for aesthetics.
It’s raw, honest, and written from the deepest part of who I am.

If you’re here looking for truth, for softness, for the reminder that light can still live in dark places—you’ve come to the right place.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I do have my story.
And I believe stories, when shared with sincerity, can heal.

So thank you for being here.
May this space be a reflection of the strength inside you—and the softness you’re allowed to carry.

With love,
Lia A Setiawati
