Welcome to No fluff Writing

Hi there

I’m so excited that you’ve popped into the publication

I’m Zena. It is my pseudonym, my nom de plume. I write with this name not to hide but because remaining anonymous gives me more freedom to express myself authentically.

I’m also an introvert and prefer to keep my private life private, but writing is a space where I like to explore myself more openly.

I am a Financial Professional in my day job, and I love to offer my pearls :) in my spare time. I love writing about life lessons, personal development, self-improvement, and self-awareness—the life skills for living mindfully.

I’ve always been curious and enjoy how the human mind works, whether yours or mine. So, my writing will be focused on those topics.

I journal more than once a day. I used to write on my blog, some fancy publications, and Quora, as well as Medium; now, you’ll only find me on Substack. I’m also trying to streamline my writing life, so I keep changing my writing schedules :)

I had a long sabbatical from writing ( 20 years!!), and when I started again at 40, I went down many writing rabbit holes. So now I’m into no-fluff writing—i.e., writing on my terms.

Hope to see you around.

Cheers,

Zena xo
