The Maison Mémoires

Sometimes, you’re the problem babe. I’m sorryyy, don’t shoot meee 😭 I know that’s not what you want to hear, but telling you what you want to hear isn’t what I’m here for. The truth nobody wants to hear is that sometimes, we are indeed the source of...

The more you spend, the more you make. At least, that’s how it feels once you stop believing that money is something you have to clutch, guard, and hoard in order to keep. Once you let go of the idea that abundance is rare, fragile, or reserved for ...

This isn’t about laziness. This isn’t about “falling behind.” And it definitely isn’t about having no ambition. Bedrot is what happens when your nervous system finally asks for the bill. It’s the rebellion against a world that demands constant produ...

Today’s blog might be old news to some… but for me, it genuinely feels like I just discovered the best thing since sliced bread. Alright, so boom. I come from a traditional Congolese African household. Growing up, I ate whatever my mother cooked, cl...

Let’s play a little game, shall we? What’s the difference between a $5 Birkin and a $20,000 Birkin (besides, of course, the glaring $19,995 price gap)? One is diiiirt cheap, and the other costs just as much as a kidney. Now, what do they both have i...

Shame is subtle. It doesn’t announce itself with fireworks. It creeps in quietly, threading itself through the way you downplay your wins so no one thinks you’ve changed. It shows up when you hesitate to ask for more, when you tell yourself that wan...

There’s a reason private jets don’t make announcements. Diamonds don’t knock on your door. Black cards don’t introduce themselves. The most luxurious things in life don’t raise their voice. They elevate their value quietly, intentionally, and withou...

You cannot rewrite the past. But you can decide whether it gets to keep narrating your future. At some point, the pain you have been carrying stops being something that simply happened to you and starts becoming something you participate in. Not bec...

There’s something electric about realizing the people you admire (the ones overflowing with confidence, success, beauty, and abundance) aren’t built from something you lack. They simply made a decision. A decision to show up before they felt ready. ...

There comes a point where staying the same starts to feel heavier than changing. Not dramatic, not cinematic. Just quietly unbearable. It shows up in ordinary moments, folding laundry, sitting in traffic, halfway through a conversation that suddenly...

You weren’t born to stay quiet about your desires. You weren’t sent here to shrink yourself, to settle for crumbs, or to convince yourself that “enough” looks like half of what you actually want. Gratitude is powerful, but it should never be confuse...

“Fake it till you make it” gets a bad reputation. It sounds like pretending, posturing, or wearing a mask until life magically changes. But that’s never how I’ve understood it. For me, it’s always been less about deception and more about alignment. ...

For a long time, I felt like I was standing still while everyone else sprinted ahead. You know the feeling. You open your phone and it’s announcement after announcement. Promotions. Engagements. New apartments with floor to ceiling windows. Passport...

Let’s be honest for a second. There’s this weird, quiet shame attached to wanting money. Like the moment you admit you want financial ease, you’ve crossed into greedy territory. As if wanting stability somehow cancels out depth, softness, or spiritu...
