in this episode of the cosmic nomad, we dive into the idea of what psychologists call: “digital dementia” aka: why our brains feel foggy, scattered, and tired in a world that keeps us glued to our screens 🧠📱

i share personal stories about my own relationship with phones + social media, what happened when i started doing digital sabbaths, and how constant stimulation quietly rewires our nervous system, sleep, focus, and creativity.

this episode is about remembering our power to choose how we use technology...

in this unscripted episode, i share the joy (and nerves) of trying things for the first time, from making yogurt, ceramics, my first kung fu class, and more. we talk beginner’s mind, novelty, and why playing with new experiences rewires your brain and softens perfectionism. if you’ve been craving a gentle nudge to begin, this is it.

show notes:

• why i hit record with no script (letting authenticity lead)

• dreams, preparedness, and the part of me that wants freedom from over-planning

• being a beginner on purpose: choosing joy over mastery

• perfectionism vs play: how “being bad” at something can be spiritual practice

• novelty, dopamine, and neuroplasticity: why your brain loves new

• breaking autopilot: tiny experiments that shift identity (“i’m someone who tries things”)

in this episode: i explore the ancient origins of our seven-day week, tracing how the romans, greeks, and babylonians mapped time around the seven visible planets, and how we can use that awareness to live more intentionally today, and how small shifts in rhythm can bring more balance, creativity, and presence into daily life.

show notes:

• the surprising origins of the seven-day week and how it shaped modern life

• using awareness — not control — to live inside the systems we’ve inherited

• • the energetic archetypes of each day and how to align with them
  • remembering that even the modern calendar holds ancient wisdom beneath it all

in this episode, i share the real story behind how my music career began. from quitting my jobs and university at nineteen to recording songs in my parents’ attic, i talk about the leap of faith that shaped everything that came after. i reflect on the late nights of teaching myself to record and produce, the mentorship that taught me to have no plan b, and how one gut-led cover changed my life forever. it’s a story about intuition, perseverance, and how art can reach farther than we ever imagine.

show notes:

• how quitting school and jobs became my turning point

• lessons from my early mentors

• creating music from the attic

• redefining what it means to “make it” as an independent artist

• the deeper purpose of covering songs and channeling emotion through sound

• listener stories that reminded me why music matters

• a reminder that your art just needs to be honest

in this episode, i talk about how friendship, travel, and intuition shape a creative life. fatima and i trace the story of how we met online and ended up adventuring across the world together—from mexico to bali and beyond. we explore travel as an inner activation, creativity as something we are (not just do), using the four elements to move through creative blocks, and the practice of stillness to hear your intuition. we also share tender moments about faith deconstruction, building a life from courage (not certainty), and how nature brings us back to ourselves.

• the origin story: instagram friends to bffsfive countries later and still chatting daily

• booking the one-way: heartbreak, surrender, and following the nudge to mexico

• travel as activation: how different lands awaken different archetypes (wild woman, lover, adventurer)

• scrappy world travel: house/pet-sitting, hostels, and creative ways to make it happen

• creativity as a way of being (not a task) and why trust is the real gift of the journey

• digital overstimulation → re-connection: why many of us are craving slowness, presence, and people

• building golden intuitive: fatima’s home for heart-led creatives, leaders, and visionaries
