Welcome back to Let’s Have Drinks.

This is our first ever solo episode and we're diving into what the past few months have really looked like.

In this episode, I talk about trying to rediscover wonder, about feeling like a loser at time, about realising I’d disconnected from the things that once made me feel alive and the challenge that forced me to sit with myself and figure out who I’m actually becoming.

It’s an honest conversation about adulthood, ambition, identity, and what happens when you feel slightly off-track.

So grab your drink and settle in as we unpack how to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we’ve slowly drifted away from.

Today’s pour: a lime mojito mocktail.

Why do we keep creating when the views are low and no one seems to be watching?
In this episode of Let’s Have Drinks, I’m joined by the ever-brilliant Nuella Love for a Strawberry Mojito Mocktail and a heart-to-heart on staying consistent, feeling behind in life, and navigating the highs and (very low) lows of showing up online.

We talk about:🍓 Creating content with purpose, not popularity🍓 YouTube burnout + what growth actually looks like🍓 Solo travel as a woman🍓 The weird limbo between childhood and adulthood🍓 And why some things are still worth doing — even without applause.
