What happens when your boat starts to wobble? Most of us panic—but what if curiosity could change everything? In this episode, host Jana sits down with Karen, an Integer coach who blends science and theater to help people navigate life's uncertainties. They explore a powerful shift: instead of judging the wobble as bad, what if you got curious about it? Karen shares how asking "I wonder why?" instead of "What's wrong?" can transform moments of unraveling into opportunities for discovery. Learn practical ways to cultivate curiosity, even when—especially when—you don't have all the answers.

In this episode, we chat with Shawn Buck about what it means to authentically unravel—and how choosing unconventional paths can lead to unexpected joy. Shawn shares his story of leaving university to pursue meaningful work in Cape Town, navigating the tension between freedom and stability, and building something magical in the process.

But here's where it gets really good: Shawn founded  the Cape Town Chapter of Silent Book Club, a movement that's brought together thousands of people to read in public spaces—from breweries to trains to parks. What started as a hope that five friends would show up has become 150+ people gathering three times a month, creating community around one simple act: reading together in silence.

Join us as we explore how our generation is redefining what "success" looks like, why it's okay to not have all the answers, and how finding your people might just be as simple as showing up to read a book in a brewery with 300 strangers.

Find Silent Book Club Cape Town on Instagram and discover your next gathering.

"If I could give everyone a superpower, it would be a feeling of belonging—because when we feel like we belong without needing to perform, we become better people." 

In our latest conversation, I sat down with Christie, founder of The Parent Hub and Boss Moms groups, to explore what real community looks like in our isolated world.

We dove deep into:
🔹 The difference between being surrounded by people vs. truly belonging
🔹 Why vulnerability creates stronger connections than perfection
🔹 How authentic community transforms both personal growth and business success
🔹 Practical steps to find your people (hint: it starts with getting off Instagram and showing up!)

Christie's journey from people-pleasing to building genuine community will resonate with anyone who's ever felt alone in a crowd or exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone.
