diwa (n.) spirit, thought, cause of inspiration and energy

Diwa Daily is my intimate space finally realized after months of bouncing ideas and daydreams off the wall.

A collection of raw stories about life, career, and the self.

A curation of beautiful products, brands, and initiatives making a huge difference in the world.

A soundboard for everything and anything Stef.

Diwa Daily is a comeback after feeling lost and choked up in the chaotic world of blogging and social media. It’s a sea of passions and interests, and everyone is welcome to wade in it, to see what life is like for this singular soul.

• Writer-in-progress
• Mother to a daughter and two sons
• Fear-free +R dog trainer and mom to four dogs
• Literary explorer and book collector
• Crazy about planners, pencils, pens, and stationery

About the writer

Hey, there! My name’s Stephanie, but call me Stef. I reside in uptown Cagayan de Oro, PH.

I’ve always been fascinated with creativity and the process of making. Since childhood, I’ve dipped my hands in writing, sketching, music, and design. Eventually, I found my love in the beauty and power of words. 

I graduated with a B.A. in Literature and have worked my way through college as a freelancer. In that span of time, I’ve met and worked with lots of talented and creative people that have inspired me to pursue creative writing as a life path.

What do I do when I’m not writing? You’ll find me reading, working as an accredited dog trainer over at Diwa Dogs, working on projects, raising my three kids and four dogs, and cleaning up the home.✨
