In this episode , we explore the idea of sustainable duality — the art of honoring multiple passions while staying grounded, present, and fulfilled.

Flo Chase joins the conversation to unpack what it really means to live beyond the highlight reel. From balancing music, modeling, travel, and creative expression, to navigating burnout, fear, and societal expectations around work and success, this episode dives into the process of building a life that feels good on the inside — not just one that looks good online.

We talk about career shifts, cultural mindsets, gratitude, comparison, and how early life experiences shape the way we handle stress and uncertainty. This conversation is a reminder that joy, simplicity, and presence are not destinations — they’re practices.

If you’ve ever felt pulled in more than one direction, questioned the pressure to “choose one thing,” or needed permission to slow down and appreciate the moment you’re in, this episode is for you.

This episode is a little different — it isn’t about Flo Chase music, it’s about the human behind it. Before we recorded, he told me most interviews stay surface-level and focus on his career, but this one goes deeper into his actual story and the experiences that shaped him.

We talk about how the way you grow up influences who you become, the schooling systems he moved through, why he chose certain paths in life, and what really happened when he first came to the United States and had to deal with customs. We get into that feeling of doing everything “right” and still having life go sideways, and how he handled it without losing himself.

What really stands out about Flo is how steady he is. He’s lived through a lot, taken risks, stepped into new environments, and somehow managed to stay calm, grounded, and centered through all of it. He’s proof that you can stretch yourself, try new things, and move through the world differently without your nervous system being wrecked. You can grow and still be grateful. You can chase things without abandoning your peace.

If you’ve been feeling like you don’t have enough life experience, or you’re scared to step out of your comfort zone, this conversation might be the reminder you need. His story shows that you’re capable of more than you think, and that choosing perspective — choosing to let life shape you instead of shake you — can change everything.

In this episode, I sit down with the founders of Flourish — two grounded, intentional women who are doing the work to bring more connection and healing amongst women into the world. We dive into the whole “women vs. women” thing… where it comes from, why some of us have never really experienced it, and why others grew up around it and still feel the impact today.

We talk about the scarcity mindset, the subtle ways conditioning shows up, and how a lot of the competition or judgment between women usually comes from an internal wound — not a reflection of the person being judged. We also get into what it actually looks like to build each other up instead, how community shifts everything, and why there truly is enough space, opportunity, and success for everyone.

This isn’t a lecture — it’s just a real conversation about how we show up for each other, what we’ve learned, what we’ve unlearned, and how we can start breaking the old narratives that pit women against each other. If you’ve ever felt the tension, the comparison, the weird energy between women, or if you’re working on being more supportive and open yourself… this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with the founders of Flourish — a women’s community that started on a whim and grew into something so much bigger than any of them ever expected. What began as a simple idea between friends in LA — a space for women to feel safe, seen, connected, supported — has turned into a real, heart-led community.

We get into how it all started, the trials, the lessons, the unexpected blessings, and the behind-the-scenes communication and planning that went into building something like this. They talk about how creating this space forced them to grow right alongside the women they serve, and how building community isn’t just about holding space — it’s about being brave enough to show up, be vulnerable, and have fun along the way.

They also share everything they bring to the group: breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, movement, nature, healing, themed events, and fun experiences designed to help women reconnect with themselves and with each other.

If you’ve been craving sisterhood, struggling to find your people, or wondering what it really takes to build something meaningful from scratch… this conversation is for you. It’s inspiring, honest, and a powerful reminder that when you create what you once needed, you end up giving the world something bigger than you imagined.

In this episode, I sit down with a dear friend of mine to talk about something most of us will face one day, but rarely feel prepared for — watching a parent die. She opens up about her experience with her dad’s decline, the complexities of hospice care, wishing he had been more honest about what was really happening, and the emotional rollercoaster of anticipatory grief.

We walk through the messy, very human parts of it: the fear, the confusion, the small moments of clarity, the tools that helped her cope, the books that offered comfort, and the reality of going from “he’s okay” to “he’s actually leaving.” It’s honest and raw, but we also find moments of lightness and reflection in the middle of something deeply painful.

We also touch on the bigger questions that grief tends to bring forward — finding meaning in death, what it means to live knowing one day we won’t, and whether or not we’re actually scared to die. It’s a conversation about loss, but also about perspective, humanity, and the strange ways grief makes you rethink everything.

This episode isn’t a guide — it’s a story. A conversation. A glimpse into what it means to love someone through their final chapter and still try to make sense of your own emotions along the way. If you’ve ever lost someone, are preparing to, or just want to understand the grief journey a little better… I hope this brings comfort, connection, and a reminder that you’re not alone in any of it.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sina Tadayon — an actor, writer, and grad student, and honestly one of the realest humans I know. We get into where his love for storytelling started, what it was like being the class clown, and how he almost took a completely different path before deciding to follow film.

He opens up about what it’s actually like chasing a passion in Hollywood — the pressure, the identity shifts, the moments that make you question yourself, and the ones that remind you exactly why you started. We talk about OCD, self-image, and how your inner narrative shapes the way you show up in the world. And we also dive into the fun side of acting… the escape, the joy, and the weird freedom that comes with stepping into different roles.

This one is raw, honest, and grounding. If you’ve ever questioned your path, struggled with who you’re “supposed” to be, or wondered whether following a dream is actually worth it… this conversation is for you.

Truthfully, this episode is a tribute to the people who don’t always know what’s ahead but keep moving anyway — following their gut, having fun with the process, and riding the ebbs and flows of life. Sina is such a clear example of what it looks like to choose authenticity over expectation and just be yourself.

In this episode, I sit down with Sina Tadayon to talk about OCD in a way most people have never heard before. Sina doesn’t just study it or write about it — he lives with it. He’s given TED Talks, written multiple articles, and walked through the day-to-day reality of a mind that tries to “protect” him while also creating fear, confusion, and unwanted identities.

Most of us only hear the surface-level version of OCD — the stereotypes, the neat and tidy boxes. But Sina brings us into the deeper layers. He talks about the thoughts he attaches to, the identities his mind tries to hand him, and how he’s learned to navigate a brain that isn’t always on his side.

We get into how he sought help, what healing looks like for him now, and how he reframed OCD from something “wrong” with him into something he’s learning from and working with. It’s honest, personal, and such an eye-opening look into what OCD can actually feel like on the inside.

If you’ve ever wondered what OCD really is — beyond the stereotypes — this conversation will expand your understanding completely.

This episode is a ride in the best way. I let Baidi Farl take the reins, and the conversation unfolded into one of the most honest, grounded, and unexpectedly insightful episodes I’ve ever done. We start off joking around—because he refuses to enter a room without cracking a joke—but it quickly shifts into a real reflection on who he used to be, who he’s becoming, and everything in between.
We get into his past relationship when he first moved to LA, what it taught him, and how it shaped the way he shows up now. We talk about detaching from what no longer serves you, being open to new experiences, and the kind of self-awareness that only comes from being humbled by life.
He shares what goes on in a man’s mind, the standards men feel, and the pressure to be strong even when they’re struggling. He opens up about health issues, letting go of ego, and how the hard moments forced him into deeper growth. There’s so much wisdom in how he reflects on his own journey—his upbringing, his relationships, his mistakes, and his wins.
We cover expansion, identity, healing, humor, & humility. It’s messy in the most beautiful way. And if you want a genuine male perspective—one rooted in honesty, intention, and self-awareness—you’ll love this one.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sid Mallya for an interesting conversation. We started with societal standards, especially around drinking culture, and why it’s treated like this default expectation. Sid shares what shifted for him when he stopped drinking, and we both reflect on how much of what we do is shaped by conditioning we never questioned.
We talk about where these “rules” even come from, why they don’t have to define you, and how learning yourself is way more important than following what everyone else is doing.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a guide. It’s just an honest conversation about values, identity, and remembering you actually get to choose the life you want.
If you want to rethink the “norms” you’ve outgrown or are just curious about how we see it… this one’s for you.

In this episode, we get real about communication — the kind that actually deepens relationships, pushes your life forward, and makes you feel genuinely seen instead of misunderstood. I share a personal story about a moment with a friend that completely shifted how I communicate… and honestly, it changed our relationship in the best way.

We get into what effective communication actually looks like, how to pause before you react, and why choosing honesty over ego will pull the right people closer — and expose the ones who just aren’t for you. And that’s okay. I also talk about what it’s been like to accept the people in my life who straight up cannot communicate, and how I stopped making that my responsibility.

If you want to communicate better, deepen your connections, or stop dealing with people who shut down, deflect, or get reactive the second things get real… this episode is for you. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it might make you rethink not just how you talk — but how you listen.
