Hi, I'm Mae Salinas.
Glad you’re here!
My Mission
I’d help you rediscover balance and peace in your daily life. Mindful Moments is a space where we embrace self-awareness, empathy, and finding joy in the simple things—whether it's through nature, a must-read book, or pauses for reflection.
Through my writing, I hope to inspire you to:
Appreciate the small, everyday moments
Welcome stillness in the middle of your busy life
Nurture your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being
About Me
I’m Mae Salinas, there are 3 Ms I love the most in life: Math, Mountains, and being a Mom.
1. My Love for Math
Math has been part of my life since I was five years old, solving word problems with my dad. My passion grew as I competed in national math quiz bees, eventually pursuing a degree in B.S. Mathematics. Math makes you a logical problem-solver and helps you think clearly.
2. My Love for the Mountains
Nature has always been my escape and medicine. It’s also how I met my husband during a rainy trek in the Philippines. Mountains are more than just majestic—they teach patience, resilience, and how to embrace a 10,000-step hike (even when it rains and is muddy).
3. My Love for Motherhood
Being a mom is one source of joy. My son’s curiosity, out-of-the-blue questions, and sense of humor remind me daily of my big WHY. Balancing work and motherhood isn’t always easy, but it’s doable and fulfilling.
Mental Health and My Corporate Life
In addition to my 3 Ms, I’ve also navigated life as a working mom in the Information Technology field, balancing career growth with family and mental well-being. I’ve experienced the highs and lows of corporate life, from managing deadlines to leading teams, all while maintaining mental health and finding ways to make myself be heard in a loud, demanding industry.
Through my experiences in corporate IT and consulting, I’ve learned lessons about:
Self-care in an always-changing world
Importance of mental health awareness
Leadership through service, empathy and kindness
