About Virago Attitude

1. How did you choose the name of your blog?

Virago is a Latin word that describes a woman as strong and brave demonstrating exemplary heroic qualities. Virago is how I describe myself (I even tattooed it on my wrist!) and I could not think of a better name for my blog. Virago Attitude therefore means to be a person with a strong, positive and brave attitude to beat any challenge life throws at you.

2. What is your blog about?

My blog is about coaching and empowering. Being a personal coach myself, I blog to show why coaching individuals is very important in our daily personal or professional life. Along with coaching, empowering is equally significant because they co-exist. My aim is to empower individuals to push them further in doing what they love most with great inner strength and passion.

3. How would you describe your blogging style?

Inspirational, motivational with an elegant touch of boho-chic attitude.

4. Describe your typical blogging routine.

Being a mommy of a beautiful little baby girl of only 1 month old my routine considerably changed from every Monday and Thursday to every Wednesday. I am present daily on Instagram with motivational quotes and photos. My main activity is interviewing great coaches and coaching organisations to demonstrate how coaching is vital. I also enjoy interviewing woman entrepreneurs who have struggled through thick and thin to bring what they do to higher dimensions.

5. In the future, where do you hope your blog will take you?

I use my blog as a platform to what I do - coach. I expect it to help me in founding my own coaching institution!

6. Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging during a difficult patch of my life where my life suddenly changed 360 degrees; and I had to dig deep within myself, for my own strength to re-ignite my passion to succeed in order to overcome the struggle. Blogging at that time was what really helped me to cope as I was able to share many things to people.

7. What are your blog essentials?

My laptop: OK I may not have the latest Mac Book but my Dell does the very essentials!

My Nikon J-1: I am not an expert in photography but I love conveying messages with powerful photos and my camera normally does a very good job.

Books: This is where I dig all my inspiration from!

8. What are the favorite blogs you follow and why

The Lovely Brunette because I love the touch of boho-chic and tropical vibes she adds to what she does so passionately.

Peachy Tales. I absolutely adore all her yummy recipes and oh my her photos!

9. If you could define your blog in 1 word, what would it be?

Empower

10. What is your favorite social media to share your blog posts and why?

Facebook because it allows me to share with a specific audience that I choose and also since some major organisations I follow actively are very present on this social platform as well as Instagram to connect with bloggers doing similar things like I do.

11. Finally, what is your biggest wish as a blogger?

To reach the very peak of the potential my blog has to give.
