As the first snow touches Montreal, the city begins to hum with holiday energy. It’s beautiful — but it’s also getting loud.
We always rush from one milestone to another:
"When yoga ends, I’ll grab groceries."
"When Halloween ends, I’ll start decorating for Christmas."
"When I finish school, I’ll find a good job."
"When I find the right partner, I’ll start a family."
"When I retire, I’ll finally relax." ...
We are so conditioned to chase the next thing that we forget the foundation of it all — ourselves.
I want to change that.
For me, for you, for everyone and everything we love.
TL;DR
How much do you love you? We are so busy chasing milestones and forget to nurture the most precious relationship - the one with ourselves.
I finally did it - an offer to help you look inward - The Evening Reset Ritual Kit, a 10-minute guided practice with candlelight, scent, and reflective questions.
The experimental phase starts today, 15 kits available.

Personal Memo from Dié 📝
Life passes by unapologetically fast.
What’s your greatest fear?
Regret on the deathbed? Or not being able to enjoy the ride while you’re on it? Perhaps something deeper — something like... you never truly know yourself.
Like any relationship, the one you have with yourself needs care. Without communication, even the strongest bond starts to break. Yet most of us treat our relationship with ourselves as something automatic - something that will just run on its own.
But it doesn’t.
When that connection is neglected, misunderstandings grow. Balance fades. And both you, and the part of you that wants to be seen - start to suffer.
That’s when the nightmare spiral begins:
You start judging your own choices;
Doubting your worth;
Losing trust in your voice;
And slowly, almost without noticing, you stop loving yourself.
I believe that’s the number one crisis of our time.
Not war. Not AI. Not climate change.
It’s this: that somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten how to love ourselves.
We keep chasing connection, success, and belonging, while the simplest, most essential relationship - the one with ourselves - is left on the side, gathering dust in the background.
When I lost my corporate job and ended a long relationship, I turned against myself completely. Every thought became a punishment:
“You shouldn’t have left that job for a start-up.”
“You wasted years chasing the wrong things.”
“You deserve to struggle - you’ve disappointed so many people.”
Those judgments grew like weeds, until I was pushed to the edge -
and then, from somewhere deep inside, a small voice began to rise:
“It’s okay to be lost. Let’s start again. Let’s get to know you.”
That voice was merely a whisper at first, but I held onto it like a rope hanging from the edge of a cliff.
“Let’s restart. Let’s get to know you again.”
So I began journaling - just to capture that voice. Day after day, page after page,I wrote whatever came up: fears, memories, small joys, confusion, anger, hope. My words started to sound less like judgment and more like understanding.
Through those quiet conversations with myself, I began to see things differently. I started to feel safe again - grounded, content, cheerful. But this time, those feelings weren’t granted by others; they came directly from my heart.
Two years passed.
Here I am, writing this letter to you - and to myself - to remind us of one simple truth:
When life hits hard, and everything feels uncertain, there’s still one person you can always turn to.
The one who’s been there all along.
You.
🌙 An Invitation
For months, I’ve been working on something that finally feels right. I’ve always said Live With Hu isn’t just about candles. But for a while, that’s what I was selling — and that misalignment was quietly torturing me.
So I stopped trying to come up with another scent or collection. Instead, I began creating something that truly reflects what I believe in.
✨The Evening Reset Ritual Kit ✨
A 10-minute guided practice built with candlelight, scent, and reflective questions.
This is the same simple practice that helped pull me out of my own fog - the mix of stillness, warmth, and honest questioning that became my anchor.
It’s made for those who crave a pause but don’t know where to begin. For those who wear many hats and forget to care for the one wearing them.
Now the only question is: will it help you, too?
That’s why I’m starting small — an experimental phase.
Just 15 kits, offered at a testing price, to gather your feedback and refine it together.
Inside each kit:
🕯️ 6 wood-wick tealights (two soothing scents)
🎴 2 sets of reflection question cards
🎧 2 guiding audios (10 minutes each)
💌 3 inspiring quote stickers
$24 testing price (regular $32)
3 kits free for those who can offer detailed feedback
Free hand delivery within the island of Montreal
If this speaks to you, and you’d like to be part of this first circle, simply reply to this email or DM me on Instagram @livewithhu.
Once all 15 kits are reserved, this first door will close.
So maybe tonight, light a candle, take a breath, eeclaim your attention, and return to yourself.
