Hi, I'm Siham Arif,
Welcome to my digital garden!
I'm a type-A, high-functioning corporate professional working in digital media and ecommerce for the last 12 years.
When I started working, success for me was the corner office with a fat paycheck, a penthouse in the city center and more money than I can spend in two lifetimes.
Over the last few years, as I entered my 30s, saying my definition of success has changed is an understatement. Today, success for me is a slow, intentional and destimulated life, surrounded by family, friends and books, with money coming in while I'm asleep.
I am not a personal growth guru, but I am on a lifelong journey of self-actualization, and I like to share what I learn in the form of essays.

Somewhere in between.
A letter on Mondays.
I publish one essay every week, usually Mondays. I write about self-awareness, personal growth, emotions management, personal vision and values, and other miscellaneous topics around living your dream life.
