The Mesij Founder

Simone Wolda

My Story

The Mesij began as a quiet rebellion. About five years ago, I grew tired of the same recycled advice, carbon-copy blogs, and cookie-cutter voices. Everywhere I looked, it was déjà vu in blog form, predictable topics, polished personas, and a glaring lack of nuance or diversity. I wanted more. So I created it.

The Mesij (a phonetic wink to “message”) was born from a stubborn desire to say what others won’t, explore what others skip, and serve the curious misfits of the internet who are hungry for something real.

Here, you’ll find the risqué, the overlooked, the wildly useful, and the oddly satisfying, all in one place. Whether it's practical wisdom, uncomfortable truths, or just a brilliantly twisted take on life, this is a space for those who think deeply, feel loudly, and never quite fit the mould.

I write like I talk: candid, unfiltered, and with 32 tabs open in my brain.
I’m raising neurodivergent kids while unmasking decades of my own.
I believe emotional honesty is a superpower, not a flaw.
I don’t do toxic positivity, nor do I rise at 5am unless legally required.

The Mesij is for those who feel too weird for the world, but far too wise to shrink for it.

Autism or Alibi? Late Diagnosis Meets Years of Misconduct

The Mesij7 days ago6 days ago09 mins

Let’s be honest. If you’ve ever been caught doing something mortifyingly awkward, like laughing at a funeral or emailing your boss the wrong attachment, there’s a tiny part of you that wishes you could say, “Oh, sorry, I’m neurodivergent.” But when exactly does a diagnosis help explain behaviour, and when does it become an escape…

So You Want to Be an Entrepreneur? Hmm

The Mesij2 months ago2 months ago09 mins

People love to romanticise entrepreneurship like it’s a scented candle: light it up, breathe in the success, and boom, you’re rich, tanned, and sipping something expensive in Bali. Lovely image, but wildly inaccurate. Let me tell you the truth, from someone who’s been doing this dance for years—I’m talking about the cha-cha, the hustle, the…

Great LinkedIn Lies And Hustle Highs

The Mesij3 months ago2 months ago17 mins

Let’s be honest, shall we? LinkedIn has turned into the office kitchen of the internet, a place where everyone stands around pretending they’re “just making a cup of tea” when really they’re showing off their new reusable mug that says “CEO of Mindset” while loudly quoting Simon Sinek like it’s gospel. You can’t scroll two…

The Reality Of Losing Your Job Later In Life

The Mesij3 months ago2 months ago19 mins

I remember losing my job the way you remember your first heartbreak — with a sharp, involuntary wince and a quiet, lingering ache that sneaks up when you least expect it. One minute I was someone with a nameplate on an office door, a pension plan, and a polite nod from the barista who knew…
