In this episode, we spiral from stoicism and “resting bitch face” into dentist trauma, delusional dreams, and building a wildly ambitious long term life plan.

We talk about the art of staying calm on the outside while chaos lives within, unpack questionable dentist experiences, and then fully commit to dreaming bigger than feels responsible. Think dream property, outdoor living spaces, multiple houses, guest retreats, investing for early retirement, unlimited travel budgets, and yes… helicopter aspirations.

If you love conversations about mindset, big vision planning, lifestyle design, investing, retirement strategy, travel goals, and building your ideal property from the ground up, this one is for you.

In this episode, we ease into a cozy morning coffee chat that turns into a deep, honest conversation about ambition, flow, and giving yourself permission to change your mind.

We talk about how those small everyday moments often spark bigger reflections. From there, we unpack the difference between being a high achiever and living in a true flow state, and why constantly competing, even with ourselves, can quietly drain the joy out of life.

This conversation dives into recalibrating goals, reevaluating commitments, and making big changes based on how things feel in your body, not just how they look on paper. We explore family dynamics, generational views on work, decision making rooted in intuition, and how home renovations can become a form of self expression and personal freedom.

If you’re feeling the pull to slow down, pivot, or redefine success on your own terms, this episode is your reminder that ease is allowed, flow is powerful, and changing your mind might be the smartest move you make.

Winter is doing the absolute most and so are we.

In this episode, we spiral through everything from missing intros and seasonal burnout to a funeral where no one brought the urn, a car accident that could have gone very differently, and an airport meet-cute that may or may not have been real.

We talk death, ghosts, reincarnation, rural life, content creation, missed connections, and why leaving the house after dark feels illegal.

It’s cozy, chaotic, a little existential, and very much a “two friends talking it out” episode. No agenda, no lesson, just stories, laughter, and the kind of conversations that happen when it’s cold, dark, and you’re staying in.

Grab a coffee, a blanket, and a spot on the couch to settle in.
