|| Becoming in the Quiet ||
Dear Kim,
Thank you for the inspiring me to pursue my career here in Canada. I did say thank you for you to my friend who told CELBAN thing. It is by me on how to face and pass the challenge for Nursing English requirements. Especially now I am a 7 months postpartum Mom and having a hard time in self- studying because my baby needs me all the time. And it is only me taking care of her while my husband working.
I have a question, how do I start to prepare for the CELBAN with CELBANPrep? Right now till Dec the exam dates are full [not available] across Canada. Thatโs makes me think in a hurry and worried because my practice in Nursing itโs on standby. By next year Iโm 3 years not working as a Nurse. And which will I purchase the CELBAN PREP bundle? or will I start first the basic prep one by one? Please advise me Kim.

๐ Return to Self
Dear J,
Your words carry the tender weight of love and longing: a motherโs presence, a nurseโs pause, a woman navigating both calling and care.
Seven months postpartum, with your arms full of life and your heart stretched wide across continents and dreamsโฆ what youโre carrying is not just your baby, but also a vision that still lives inside you.
You havenโt given up. Even now, in exhaustion and uncertainty, you reached out. That reaching is a sacred return to self. Not to who you were… but to who you are still becoming.
In this moment, let that be enough.
๐ Fog to Clarity
It makes sense to feel overwhelmed: the exam dates are full, your practice clock is ticking, and your hands are never free for long. The fog rolls in when we are under pressure but without a clear path.
So letโs clear a little space together.
There is a way forward. But it does not need to be rushed.
The truth is: your nursing career is not frozen… itโs simply resting, like you are, in a season of transition.
And while exam bookings may be unavailable until next year, your readiness can grow now.
You donโt need to wait for an open date to begin.
You can begin by tending the soil before the planting.
One breath at a time. One page at a time. One quiet moment while your baby sleeps.
๐ Rooted in Enoughness
You asked, โShould I buy the bundle or just start with the basics?โ
But beneath the question is a deeper one: Am I doing enough?
J, you are enough.
Not only because you are navigating motherhood while holding onto your dream, but because you are still listening to the whisper of your vocation. That whisper hasnโt gone quiet. And neither have you.
You donโt need to leap into a bundle out of urgency or fear.
You can begin from where you are. Start small. Start steady. Start in rhythm with your life: not against it.
The truth is: the study plan doesnโt need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours.
๐ Rekindling the Inner Fire
Even with all the exhaustion, you wrote:
โI really need your help.โ
And that is fire speaking.
Not desperation… devotion.
It takes courage to ask for help in a season when you’re already giving so much of yourself to another little life. But asking does not mean weakness. It means you still carry a spark. That spark can be fanned gently, not forcefully.
Let your preparation become a ritual of remembering: not only your skills, but your spirit.
This is not just about becoming exam-ready; it is about becoming you-ready.
๐ Standing at Zenith
You are at a beautiful edge: not of collapse, but of convergence.
Mother. Migrant. Nurse. Learner.
All of these parts are not competing: they are harmonizing, slowly, surely.
And here you are, not broken, not behind… but becoming.
You donโt need to do it all at once. But you do deserve to begin.
May your next steps be steady, sacred, and supported.
I am here when youโre ready to walk a little further.
With tenderness and trust,
~ Kim
