About

HEY THERE!

I’m Yhem. A writer and author who loves telling simple, honest stories about the everyday life of women. I write about the quiet things we experience but don’t always say out loud. Things like the balance between home and work, the weight of expectations, the joy of small victories, the dreams we hold onto, and the moments that shape us into who we become. My writing is warm, real, and relatable, because I believe women deserve stories that feel familiar. Stories that make you breathe, laugh, reflect, or feel understood. I didn’t start writing because I had everything figured out. I started writing because I didn’t. In this life especially as women, to navigate between all the things we want is a bit layered, beautiful, messy, and worth talking about.

Here on Yhem Speaks, you’ll find pieces from my everyday life, my experiences as an expat in Japan, the lessons I’m learning, and the stories that remind us we’re not alone. If you love simple writing with depth or If you enjoy warm reflections you can return to again and again or If you’re a woman building a life in your own way and at your own pace, then welcome… you’re in the right place.
