Hey y’all.

This solo episode came straight from my heart and a little bit from my nerves, because every time I hit record alone, I wonder if I actually know what I am doing. But as we approach the end of 2025, one theme keeps shouting at me from every angle. We are living through an apocalypse of average, and it is time to wake up.

I talk about the ways complacency sneaks into our lives, how autopilot becomes our default and why it is a tragedy to treat yourself like someone ordinary when you are anything but.

I share the ideas and moments that cracked me open this year, including something Kathy Heller said that shook me to my core. You are a piece of the master. You are a masterpiece. I explore how miracles show up when our nervous system is regulated, how movement and meditation unlock clarity and why repeating the same tired stories keeps us stuck.

This episode is a call to stop negotiating for scraps, stop settling for leftovers and start choosing the path that feels brave, aligned and alive.

Highlights:

(01:10) Why the end of 2025 pushed me to question complacency

(03:22) The shift that happens when you realise you were never meant to be average

(05:55) The Kathy Heller quote that cracked me wide open
