The Better Together Podcast

In this episode of Better Together, I sit down with my friend Alex to play the wildly popular card game We’re Not Really Strangers—a game designed to spark deep, meaningful conversations and maybe even reveal things we didn’t know about each other. From lighthearted laughs to unexpectedly vulnerable moments, we explore connection, honesty, and the stories we carry. Whether you’re new to the game or have played it a dozen times, this episode will make you want to call up a friend and go a little deeper.

In today’s episode of Better Together, I’m diving into a topic that I think will resonate with a lot of us: inspiration, motivation, and what it looks like to move through both burnout and creative bursts. From the moments where I feel completely drained and uninspired, to those rare and electric times when I have so many ideas I don’t know where to start.

This week, I’m sharing something deeply personal. After learning that a colleague of mine suddenly passed away, I was hit with an unexpected wave of grief—one that cracked open old wounds and brought me face to face with how I process loss. I talk about what it’s like to navigate those raw, emotional moments while craving support. This episode is about grief, relationships, emotional presence, and what we really need when we’re hurting.

After a much-needed break, I’m back on the mic to talk about burnout, anxiety, and the pressure to always be “on.” In this solo episode, I open up about where I’ve been, what’s been weighing on me, and what’s been helping. I also share a personal letter to my 30-year-old self — a time capsule of growth, reflection, and letting go of perfection. 💌 If you’ve ever felt stuck between exhaustion and ambition, this one's for you. https://www.instagram.com/the_bettertogether_podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this reflective episode, I sit down with my best friend Ipek to share what we’d say to our past selves. We talk about what we wish we’d known, what we forgive ourselves for, and the lessons that still linger. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that every version of us deserves compassion.
