hello beautiful people, it’s mao.
i just wanted to jump on here to give you a brief update of what has been happening in my life, and working towards my aspirations with mistakes are overrated.
i haven’t been actively publishing articles or poems for quite some time now, and i wanted to let you in on a secret.
my passion is putting together what has helped me on my journey, along with research on the particular subject, to share with you on your journey.
i also enjoy sharing my poems i have documented along my healing journey, in hopes it resonates with you.
before creating this website, i had plans to create my own self guided trauma healing journal to help survivors navigate their way through their journey.
when i was at the beginning of my healing journey after experiencing trauma, i was lost, isolated, confused and drained.
i was in search of finding something that could help me find my bearings, work through what i was feeling, and help me get back on my feet to continue my journey.
i unfortunately couldn’t find a journal that resonated with me and what i was dealing with, so it became my mission to create one for those who are in the position i was once in.
over the past 3 years, i have documented my healing journey – everything i felt, exercises and strategies that helped me, and some of the experiences i faced after my traumatic event.
over 2 years in the making, the self guided healing journal ‘self impact‘ is ready for you to pre-order.
the pre-orders will be ready to be shipped when the journal is published on the 04/07/2025 (4th of july 2025).
make sure to get in before the 04/07 to ensure you receive 20% off.
i introduce to you – self impact

about mao – mistakes are overrated
mistakes are overrated (mao), is a trauma survivor, and for a long time she struggled deeply with the aftermath of what she had been through. there was a point in her journey where she thought, “i cannot live like this anymore.” that moment became a turning point. a quiet but powerful decision to begin the hard, messy, and beautiful work of healing.
as she began facing her pain and doing the deep internal work, she slowly started to rebuild her relationship with herself.
through her own journey, she discovered powerful tools and insights that helped her reconnect with herself and rebuild her life from the inside out. she created mistakes are overrated and the self guided healing journal self impact in hopes to support, inspire, and empower others on their own healing journeys.
mao never wants anyone to feel as alone, overwhelmed, or lost as she did in the beginning. she made it her purpose to share what helped her through her journey to create something meaningful for those finding their way, just like she did.
