I’ve been reading the book ‘Inward’ by Yung Pueblo for the second time now (yes it’s that good). And I was so moved by his quote “Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It means we stop carrying the energy from the past into the present”, that I was super inspired to create this episode.
In today’s episode, I explore the idea of letting go and discuss how letting go holds us back from reaching our fullest potential. I delve into why letting go

In today’s episode, I dive deep into questions that I keep on getting asked such as ‘how to get out of a rut', 'how to find the joy when in a rut', 'how to stay joyful when all you want to do is stay angry'.... One thing these questions have in common is the fact that they are about how we navigate our negative emotions. However, we aren’t taught how to deal with or process our emotions. As a result, we tend to

In today’s episode, I talk about how to always feel ‘good enough’ without being so dependent on external acceptance/validation. Inspired by Quincy Jones quote “Not one drop of myself worth depends on your acceptance of me”, I discuss my thoughts on why we are constantly seeking external acceptance/validation and how this prevents us from taking risks and

Today I delve into the idea of choosing to be happy first. A lot of us are taught as kids that it is selfish to choose our happy first, and I was inspired to explore this belief a bit more. As I consider myself a recovering people pleaser, the idea of choosing to be happy first has been something I’ve wrestled with for a while now. I believe strongly in serving others. However, what I’ve come to realize in my journey is that we can’t give what we don’t have, so we need to fill ourselves up first. I share how when I feel depleted, I’m not the happiest person in the world (I’m rather quite miserable). And I’ve come to believe it serves no one when we give from our empty wells. I discuss how I’ve discovered that the most selfless thing we can do is
