Welcome to musings by mika, where a cozy community awaits you!
Hi! 👋 I'm Mika, and a year ago I turned away from the corporate world to step into the unknown, and I've been documenting my experiences ever since.
musings by mika is more than just a newsletter
I write from the heart about the doubts and challenges of redefining success after leaving a traditional job, offering thoughtful reflections and encouragement for those on similar paths.
Whether you're new to Substack or a seasoned writer, you'll find useful insights about Substack, a supportive network, and a warm, welcoming environment.
My goal is to inspire, uplift, and cheer you on, just as you cheer me on.
We have created a safe space for conversation and connection with like-minded individuals so we can all thrive together.

About me
✿ My name is Japanese and is pronounced “Me (like key🔑) - ka”
✿ My mum is a short Japanese woman and my dad is a tall red head Kiwi!
✿ My husband and I have four awesome big kids and live in New Zealand
✿ I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive & hyper) last year at 46 years old
✿ If I see creme brûlée, panna cotta or chocolate mousse on the menu, I’m a happy camper (and will be very tempted to order all three!)
My content is completely free, but you can buy me a hot chocolate by following this link!
I look forward to have you join my little corner of the world!
