After a two-year break from podcasting due to studies, I’m finally back behind the mic. In this episode, I talk about what the break felt like, why I stepped away, and what it feels like to return. I also look back at the evolution of the podcast from constant rebrands and changing formats to experimenting with stories, self-help ideas, and thought experiments. I walk through the behind-the-scenes process of how an episode actually gets made, the struggle between scripting and speaking freely, the episodes that were easiest and hardest to create, and why I’ve stopped worrying about stats and started focusing on the joy of making things again.
