  • #13 Two countries, two lives, one person — the identity crisis nobody talks about.

    In this episode, I get into the real tension of building a life across countries.

    I talk about the lessons I had to learn the hard way — and the ones I had to unlearn just as hard:

    1. You can unlock levels.
    2. There's no such thing as security in anything.
    3. We're all pulling things from the mind into reality.
    4. Problems are features, not bugs.
    5. Decisions and actions are everything.
    6. Picking your substance matters — own the choice instead of pretending.

    I hope you enjoy this one. Let's figure it out together.

  • #12. I disappeared for 20 months — here's what actually happened

    20 months. I know.

    I'm back — and everything that happened in between is exactly why.

    In this episode, I'm sharing 5 things that went on while I was gone: starting my master's in International Business, the struggle of starting over, the hardest question I've ever faced, the entrepreneurial itch that never went away, and what it really means to figure out your 30s.

    This show was always about change. But I've realised it's actually about something deeper — the messy, uncomfortable journey of becoming.

    If you're stuck between who you are and who you're becoming, this one's for you.

    I'm not stopping. Ever.
