who am i?

hello, i’m mistakes are overrated (mao).

this website was created as a place for those who want to learn.

if you want to understand how trauma can affect our mind and body without feeling judged or overwhelmed, i welcome you to this space.

on this website, i share poems, affirmations and articles with practical strategies that helped me, inviting you to explore what supports your healing.

please know that what i share is general informational and for educational purposes only.

i share my personal experiences and what i have learnt over the years to show you what truly helped me, so you can feel empowered and inspired to support your own healing journey.

why is mao important?

mao matters because it helps people understand themselves on a deeper level, especially the parts shaped by trauma that tend to go unseen or unspoken.

by becoming vulnerable and sharing what i have learned through my own healing and research, i hope to allow others to feel less alone, more understood, and more capable of change.

at its core, mao exists to empower people to reconnect with themselves and realise they have the power to become whoever they choose to be.

how can this community help me?

this is a space for healing, growth, and self discovery.

mao is a safe place for anyone who is ready to break free from old patterns and step into a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

i believe your past can be honoured without becoming your identity, and healing is a journey of returning to your true self and remembering the power you already hold within.

if you’re choosing yourself, you belong here 🤍

how will self impact help me on my journey?

self impact is more than a journal, it is a safe space for honouring your past without letting it define you.

created by someone who has walked this path, self impact supports you on your journey inward, inviting you to reconnect with your true self.

through understanding your experiences, holding them with compassion, and remembering the power you hold within, you create space to decide how you move forward.
