10 Things About me
Welcome to the Life with Zwi blog, my little corner of the internet where motherhood meets boardrooms, skincare meets spreadsheets, and purpose meets play. I’m Zwi , a mom of two, corporate executive, and eternal optimist designing a life I truly love. Here are 10 things that’ll help you get to know the woman behind the coffee cup and the camera.
1. The Morning Ritual That Sets My Tone
My mornings ideally start with prayer to center my day. I struggle with consistency on this, I’m currently building the muscle to do it daily! I’m a firm believer in the scriptuure on “commanding your morning” (Job38:12) and belive this determines how gracefully I handle everything else that comes my way (and trust me, a lot comes my way!).
2. What My Friends Always Say About Me
Apparently, I’m the friend who always has a plan, and a backup plan! I tend to quickly go into solution mode, which is not always the best way, but I’m also the one who’ll drop everything when someone needs a listening ear.
3. How I Describe My Job (Without Sounding Boring)
I work as an executive in the nonprofit world, which means I spend my days balancing strategy, spreadsheets, and a whole lot of purpose. I help organizations make real impact while staying financially and operationally strong. It’s equal parts heart and hustle, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
4. My Role as a Mom in One Sentence
Chief Negotiator. Head Chef. Comedian on Call. Uber Driver. Professional Hug Dispenser. Cheerleader. Being “Mummy” to two boys is the most exhausting and rewarding role I’ve ever had, and the one that constantly teaches me patience, humour, and grace.
5. My Guilty Pleasure
Luxury skincare shopping. Good food. All things self care. Whatever makes my home cosy and also provides convenience. Also, I firmly believe chocolate counts as self-care.
6. One Defining Career Moment
I’ve had a few, but the story of how my career began in the non profit sector is a huge testimony. I was the least qualified, but my CV sat on top of a pile, and the recruiting manager had no time to sort through hundreds of applications, so he pulled the 2 that were on the desk and hired us, but more importantly, he was very intentional about training and growing us.
7. What Sparked Life with Zwi
I started Life with Zwi as a way to share my real journey : the messy, beautiful mix of career ambition, motherhood, faith, and self-care. I wanted other women, especially working moms, to see that it’s okay to design a life that looks a little different from what the world expects. I also wanted to do better for other women, because of some of the negative experiences in my career.
8. My Current Obsession
Right now, it’s Kdramas and creating content for my platforms Also, my Q4 obsession?Christmas!!! Many will say it’s too early, but for me, it’s never too early to get into the festive mood.
9. My Life Motto
Design Your Life. Life won’t always be even, but it can be beautiful when lived with intention, and we all have it in us to design at least some aspects of you.
10. What You’ll Find on This Blog

Think of it as your space for growth, laughter, and gentle reminders that you can build a life that feels good on the inside too.
