“CHOOSE YOURSELF”
Ruzan
Under the soft winter sun at Auckland’s Botanical Gardens, Ruzan stood quietly, letting the light warm her face.
Her journey is one of slow blooming, of change after change, and the ongoing decision to choose herself.
Born in Armenia, now a decade into her life in New Zealand, Ruzan’s story is rich with transformation. From immigrant to mother, and the rediscovery of self, her path hasn’t followed a straight line, but it has always led her closer to who she is.
Introverted by nature, she admits that speaking about herself doesn't come easily. But in the stillness between words, a quiet truth emerged:
"I am more than a mum. I am more than just this."
Motherhood consumed her for a time, as it does for so many. But one decision at a time, Ruzan is shaping a new future, not just for her two boys, but for herself.
She channels her creativity into content creation, fuelled by her love of op shopping, manifestation, and the thrill of turning ideas into something that resonates.
Nothing beats the buzz she felt when one humorous post went viral overnight, a reminder that even in small ways, she’s reaching people.
Stability is what she craves, yet her life has been anything but.
And maybe that’s the magic: learning to ground herself not in circumstances, but in the quiet confidence of her becoming.
“Choose yourself” isn’t just a motto.
It’s her awakening — the lesson she’s earned, and the message she’ll carry forward.
