connekt. The Podcast

When I was 12, I used to fake an injury at football training whenever things got hard….

In this episode, we’re looking at the subtle ways we check out without realising it, and what it looks like when you think you’re still in it… but you’ve already stepped out a little.

We chat about:

• The difference between being showing up and actually grinding it out

• The patterns/behaviours we don’t notice until someone else points them out

• The ways we low key step back when things get uncomfortable

Most of the time (like in my story) it doesn’t look like quitting. It looks like being there… just half arse.

Back in 2019, I somehow turned travel into a "productivity project".

The goal was to see more, do more, and squeeeeeze every drop out of the experience.

Turns out moving that fast came with a few consequences.

In this episode, I share a story from my time in Turkey and the lesson it taught me about pressure, presence, and missing the very thing you're chasing.

We chat about:

• Treating travel like something to optimise

• The pressure we create for ourselves

• What happens when we're moving too fast to actually experience what's in front of us

Because sometimes the pressure isn't coming from anyone else.

It's coming from us.

My second podcast episode was a flop....

Like barely-anyone-listened kind of flop.

I could've made that mean something about me. Instead, I got back to the drawing board.

In this episode, I'm sharing what happened next, the system I've been building behind the scenes, and what progress has actually looked like while figuring all of this out.

We chat about:

• Flops, frustration, and failed experiments

• Building a system that actually supports me

• AI, creativity, and figuring things out as I go

Because sometimes progress doesn't look like progress at all.

I accidentally turned a simple goal into a guilt spiral, HAH!

After setting myself a challenge to release one poddy episode a week, I found myself stuck in overwhelm, constantly switching between recording, editing, posting, and then wondering what to create next.

In this episode, I'm sharing my behind-the-scenes changes I've made to my content creation process, why I stopped forcing consistency for consistency's sake, and how building better systems has reduced so much mental load.

Join me as I chat about:

• Why consistency alone isn't always the answer

• The mental load that can make even simple goals feel harder than they need to

• How constantly switching between tasks was draining my energy

• The content creation system I'm currently experimenting with

• Using voice notes and AI to organise my ideas and create more structure

• Why batching content feels far more sustainable than creating on demand

• The difference between being lazy and being unsupported

• Looking at challenges more objectively instead of turning them into personal failings

Because sometimes what looks like a discipline problem is potentially a support problem, and there is a difference.

Sooo maybe you’ve got a list. You know the one, it’s been there for two, three, maybe five years.
The finances, the fitness, the sleep, the relationship stuff.
Things you’ve circled back to so many times you’re almost embarrassed they’re still there. In this episode we’re not adding more to it. We’re just talking about why tackling it all at once has probably never worked, and what doing it differently could actually look like.

Kia ora, I’m Chloe, and this is connekt. The Podcast!!

In this trailer I’m sharing why I’m here, why a podcast, and why now. The short version: social media started feeling a bit dead to me, my ideas come out cleaner when I’m talking than when I’m writing, and I’d rather lean into how I actually work than keep forcing formats that don’t fit.

No big strategy. Just jumping off the edge and giving it a whirl.

If you’re a woman who keeps almost getting there but not quite, who knows what she wants but something keeps getting in the way, this show is for you.

Come have a listen.
