let them reject you

don't reject yourself

I love a good quote but ever since Victoria shared this with me on Simz Serotonin

it left actually left an imprint and i've been using it to overcome any imposter syndrome that comes my way

Victoria is many things: a Cambridge graduate, accredited coach, Sutton Trust changemaker ambassador, US Embassy Leadership Programme alumni, solo traveller, DJ and podcast host of If Not Today Then When?

but what makes her truly remarkable isn't the titles.

it's how she earned every single one of them
by refusing to reject herself before anyone else got the chance

and then goes back to open doors for those after her, paving pathways for the youth

I found the key to getting in the london marathon

do it as a joke

Nabila didn't know it was a world major.

she didn't have a training plan.

didn't think she'd get in.

and yet,

with a knee injury 2 weeks before race day,

forgetting her headphones for the 42.195km

waddling to a visa appointment the NEXT morning.

+ a final presentation 4 days later

she crossed the finish line

(also because she didn't want to miss her reservation at dishoom 😆)

there's so much more behind Nabila's story

the role her father played in her running journey,

the pain of thinking you might miss out on something you dedicated so much to

Let's London Marathon with Nabila Salsabila

my dear friend and flatmate since even before day 1 of uni !

The falls didn't stop her from becoming the 3rd fastest ninja in the world.

They made her one.

Meet Mila: the first woman in the UK to hold that title.

This episode isn't really about ninja.It's about what happens when you stop shrinking and start flying.

Snippets of today's serotonin 🥷

🌟 Going from half a push-up to representing Great Britain

🌟 Breaking her shoulder at the World Championships and coming back to finish first in the UK qualifiers.

🌟 Falling mid-race in Spain, walking back, almost giving up, then picking herself back up to overtake her competitor.

She stopped running from her body and started trusting it.

And because she knows better than anyone what injuries can cost you,Mila recently qualified as a sports massage therapist too.Helping other athletes recover, move better and actually listen to their bodies. The way nobody taught her to until she had no choice.

The thing about Mila is she doesn't talk about resilience like it's a concept.She talks about it like it's a decision.

"We only have one life. If something doesn't go your way, go again."

Mila is truly such a kind soul, spreading so much serotonin as she inspires us to live life to the fullest.

So let's unleash our inner ninja, with the coolest ninja herself. 🥷🎙️

Growing up, she didn't quite fit in.Today, she's stopped trying to.

This episode with Hana is one of the warmest conversations I've had on Simz Serotonin.

We talked about:

🌟 Overcoming internal feelings of misalignment despite everything seeming 'perfect' from the outside
🌟 Navigating work when you're performing a version of yourself that doesn't quite feel like you

🌟 The shifts you experience when you choose to follow your intuition

And slowly, intentionally, building a life that actually fits you.

This episode is about what happens when you finally stop trying to fit in.
When you choose intention over performance.
When you trust a plan rooted in faith

When you find your people, and feel genuinely understood for the first time.

Every episode, I give my guest a challenge

It’s time I take on my own challenge

Enjoy 12 mins of me scaring myself and speaking about it 😄

Embrace the spontaneity with me on a trip home from sainz post gym - soz abt the initial alarm noise in the back 🤣🙏🏼

Do you trust your own timeline?Senalda watched people around her take completely different paths some settling down,some accelerating in their careers,some still figuring it out.From solo travelling across South America, to leading early careers at Adobe…Senalda's journey isn’t linear.But it’s intentional.Snippets of Serotonin from today's episode: • Letting go of comparison and external timelines • Making decisions, and backing them fully • Why growth often sits just outside your comfort zoneBecause maybe it’s not about being ahead or behind…it’s about being aligned.

What’s something you’d never sign up for?Now imagine doing it in front of 800 people.Lights.Crowd roaring.Gloves on.Your opponent across from you.No way out but through.That was Max.He didn’t sign up because he loved boxing.He signed up to take a chance on himself.What makes this episode so powerful isn’t just the result.it’s the story behind it:The emotional chaos of training,the moments he wanted to quit,the documentation that got him through it,the strange calm before the fight,the blur of adrenaline in the ring,and the come-down after proving to himself he could survive something that once felt impossible.This isn’t really an episode about boxing.It’s about fear.What we avoid.What we’re capable of.And how sometimes the thing that scares you mostbecomes the thing that changes you most.🎙️ New Simz Serotonin episode with Max Pearl, out now(Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Youtube)

Would you move to a country you know nothing about?

Hana did

One application.

One “why not.”

And suddenly... she’s living in Rwanda!

What she expected: a placement.

What she found: a completely different way of living.

Strangers becoming community.

Work fuled with intention. 

And somewhere between carbon projects, chance conversations, and teaching Pilates she’d never taught before…

she realised:

the life she previously thought she wanted… wasn’t it.

This episode isn’t just about travel.

It’s about what happens when you step into the unknown...and it quietly rewrites everything you thought you knew about success, routine, and yourself.

Because sometimes the biggest shift doesn’t come from planning your future…

it comes from trying a new environment.
