…and welcome to Becoming Moken—I’m so glad you’re here.
This space reflects my ongoing journey of resilience, self-love, and creative expression. It’s the story of how I’ve come to embrace my truest self despite a life filled with profound challenges and transformations. I’m Moken Marsai, and through this memoir blog, I share the raw, authentic lessons I’ve learned from navigating complex relationships, healing from trauma, and stepping into my creative power.
There was a time when my life was defined by others—by a 14-year-long relationship that no longer served me, by a career in branding and marketing that left me unfulfilled, and by the weight of a name I carried because it was expected. But each of these chapters brought me closer to who I am now. I left that relationship, changed my name as an act of sovereignty, and made the bold decision to pursue art and writing full-time.
And then there was the moment I found myself in the emergency room, during a spiritual awakening that shook me to my core. It was one of the hardest yet most transformative experiences of my life. Alongside that, I continue to live with anxiety, depression, and C-PTSD, learning daily how to navigate the world with compassion and grace.
Writing has been my anchor through it all. It’s helped me process the grief, trauma, and beauty of my personal evolution. And now, through Becoming Moken, I invite you to join me on this journey of healing and growth.
In this memoir blog, I share personal essays, art, and reflections on themes like womanhood, self-love, sovereignty, creativity, and mental health. It’s a space where vulnerability meets healing, where we can reflect, grow, and connect on our paths toward becoming who we’re truly meant to be.
