about

Hi! I’m EsGee – a writer, thinker, and builder of intentional spaces for self-growth, emotional clarity, and authentic living. I’m so glad you’re here!

For years, I bought into the Jerry Maguire fantasy. The idea that “you complete me” would simply happen because I was part of a long-term relationship. At work, I measured success by other people’s timelines and definitions, rarely setting boundaries or asking for what I needed.

It wasn’t surprising when I hit a wall — frustration, disillusionment, and a shaken sense of who I really was. Underneath it all, I knew something had to change. I just didn’t realize how much life was about to shift.

How my story EVOLVED

By 2020, as the world unraveled and so did my marriage, the not-so-quiet tug of deep dissatisfaction with my life became impossible to ignore.

What followed was a slow, uncomfortable unraveling.

Trying to be brave on the outside, so as to not make anyone else uncomfortable, but counting down the minutes till I could be alone to let myself just be, tears and fears et al. Bedtime crying marathons. Endless series of WhatsApp conversations with friends. Long journaling sessions. Therapy. Countless moments of questioning everything I thought I knew.

But somewhere in between all that heartbreak, anxiety, and settling into a new country in the middle of a pandemic, I slowly (very slowly) began rebuilding and healing.

Eventually, as the very, very real and existential anxiety (fun times, it was not!) eased, I began to rediscover myself again. Not the version shaped by old narratives or external expectations, but the one rooted in self-acceptance, clarity, and a sense of purpose that felt like mine.

Now, I’m not a coach or a therapist. I’m just someone who’s been where you might be – emotionally exhausted, quietly questioning, wondering if there’s more to life than just holding it all together.

And I created Her Aligned Self (previously known as Sage & Bloom) as a space for those of us who are ready to work for the life they long for and find the courage to create it – one mindset shift, one aligned decision, one small step, one day at a time.

I’m not here to hand you a perfect blueprint.
I’m here for the women who are grieving unlived lives, emotionally overwhelmed, but finally ready to create an aligned life that feels like their own.

All of this to say…

This space is for reflection, intentional choices, and honest growth. Instead of chasing the kind of goals that only look good on a vision board, this is about growth that asks you to face the hard questions, break old patterns, rediscover your authentic self, and make intentional life choices.

It’s about paying attention to what’s out of alignment and making the small, steady changes that bring you back to yourself. It’s about rewriting your story with intention, even if you’re still in the messy middle.

Welcome. I hope this feels like a place where you can exhale.
