Hello again — it’s been a while!
When I first started Seasons with Jade, I created this space to reflect, to share, and to connect through the different stages of life and work. Then, like many of us, life shifted — new chapters unfolded, priorities changed, and the blog quietly paused.
Now, after some seasons of growing, returning back to my home country, having additional members in my family, taking a career break and rediscovering what truly matters, I feel ready to write again.
Since I last posted, I’ve taken bold steps — leaving a stable HR career in Asia, relocating to London, navigating a new job market, embracing new roles, including that of a part-time realtor while I return to my home country with an additional member to my family.
Having taken on caregiving responsibilities as a parent and subsequently stepping away from full-time work, I found myself at a crossroad — balancing personal commitments with professional aspirations.
It hasn't been a straight path, but it’s been rich with learning. And with each twist and turn - including finding myself becoming a pawrent as well! - , I’ve collected reflections, stories, and insights I’m finally ready to share.
So what can you expect from this blog now?
✨ Honest reflections on career transitions
✨ Stories from my experience in HR, job hunting, and working across cultures
✨ Thoughts on art, creativity, and purpose
✨ And maybe a few musings about navigating change as a woman, a working professional, a lifelong learner, a mother / parent and even as a pawrent!
Whether you’re new here or you’ve read my older posts — thank you for being part of this journey. I’m not here to pretend I have it all figured out. I’m here to explore, with intention and heart, what each new season brings.
Today (kindly let me mark the date - 6th August 2025), I’m writing from a different season of life.
In fact, as I write this, I’m in the midst of job hunting and taking up some courses — exploring whether to switch career paths, return to a familiar role, or even discover new possibilities that align better with my evolving life stage.
Let’s begin again, with grace and curiosity. 🌿
Warm regards ❤️,
Karen Woo a.k.a Jade
