Link to podcast- Episode 3: https://anchor.fm/lenigian/episodes/Life-with-Leni–Episode-3-Boundaries-egpm75 Boundaries. What are they? How do you set them? How do you know when a boundary is appropriate? How do we not feel guilty for setting them? How do we know when the time is right? How do we know we even need to set them? By definition, a […]
So, I recently started a podcast, and instead of just winging it, I decided to write down what I wanted to talk about first. There’s more in the podcast than this, but here is a piece on toxicity and toxic relationships. Here is the podcast: https://anchor.fm/lenigian/episodes/Life-with-Leni–Episode-2-Toxicity-egd0k2/a-a1pvrs Toxicity Some of us are so unaware of what […]
8/21/2019 Dear Baby, You’re not here yet. You don’t even exist. All you are, right now, is a bunch of unanswered prayers and unsuccessful science experiments. But one day, you will be, and for that, mommy did something big for you today. She bought you a house. It’s not much, it’s not big, but you’ll […]
Nobody is perfect. Especially not me. But one thing I pride myself on is not hurting people; not on purpose, at least. More than half the world takes for granted, the damage they cause, to people who have nothing to do with their issues. I’d like to think I am evolved from such pettiness, but […]
On the journey to self-love, self-awareness, self-enlightenment, self-liberty, self-reliance, self-acceptance, self-rule, and self-expression, I had to figure out the type of woman I am, the type of woman I’m not, and the type of woman I want to be.

It’s really […]
I woke up in a pretty bitter mood today, or maybe I was just hungry- anyone who knows me knows my hanger is the real deal, but whatever the case may be, I was thinking of a few things that really just annoy me. Yes, I joke about dating. Yes, I joke about idiot men […]
“The minute you stop trying to impress people is the minute you gain your freedom.” I read that quote this morning- some instagram meme, but boy did it resonate. In a way, this is how I try to live, not for anyone else, but for myself. For a really long time, I tried to stay […]
Dear Eleni, Well, look at us. Look at how we’ve turned out. We’ve come a long way, haven’t we? Remember the times we didn’t think we’d be ok? I mean, there are so many reasons why we didn’t think we’d be ok, but remember how we promised ourselves that we would never let anyone stop […]
It’s been a while since I’ve tapped my feelings on the screen. It’s been a while for everything really. This year, this year has been one of the toughest, yet rewarding, years of my life. This year has taught me so much about myself-mostly about how afraid I am, but more importantly, how brave. It’s […]
