hi friends!

I’m Avah (pronounced ‘Ay-vah’). Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

AVAHYUMYUM is a space to chronicle my journey towards a “less is more” life, fueled by faith, fitness, and food (home cooked with love or cheap eats around the city). Here, I write about overcoming anxiety and (re)discovering self-worth, tips for decluttering your home and your mind, and hopefully inspiration to turn everyday moments into celebrations filled with gratitude. 

Navigating through dark clouds in my 20s made me crave an outlet where I can transparently share my learnings and well-being tips, and seek ways to learn how to flourish. My personal experiences with anxiety, panic attacks, heartbreaks and loss, questioning my self-worth and years of trying to figure myself out has led me here. That’s the goal of this blog: to help you navigate challenges through the lessons I’ve learned and to share what brings me joy. 

Everyday I look for what I call “confetti moments” – those vibrant flashes of joy that paint a beautiful sunshine on ordinary days. It’s a sunset overlooking the water, a spontaneous dance party in the kitchen, or the unexpected kindness of a stranger. I credit the ability to spot these to my mom, who often reminds me to look for “little wins” or the “small simple things” all around me. While I know we all struggle in some way shape or form, and in no way am I saying to just ignore our negative feelings or emotions, my hope is that we will choose to see the light, dig ourselves out of the holes we inadvertently fall into, feel loved and express gratitude – every opportunity, every day.

My Miami childhood gave me sunshine, while New York’s hustle taught me grit and resilience. By day I’m a digital marketing SEO manager, and by night, I’m learning how to code…  juggling many beanies running, exploring NYC hidden gems, drinking boba, and enjoying time spent with my fiancé as we plan our wedding.
