  • eP#21 What do you really want?

    New perspectives and reflections to help you identify what you really want!

    In this episode of The Curiosity Quest Podcast, Gena invites you to pause and ask yourself the big question: What do you really want? Too often, we live on autopilot, chasing goals shaped by expectations rather than desire. Gena explores how to recognize the difference between external “shoulds” and internal truth, the role of self-awareness in clarifying your wants, and offers some tools to support you in discovering your true desires. You’ll walk away with some new perspectives, awareness shifts and the encouragement to honor your own path toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

  • ep#20- Who are you really?

    In this episode, we dive into one of life’s biggest questions: Who are you, really? Together, we’ll explore the experiences, influences, and beliefs that have shaped you into the person you are today. From childhood moments to cultural conditioning, you’ll be encouraged to pause and reflect on the “why” behind your thoughts, choices, and behaviors.

    This episode isn’t just about self-reflection — it’s about self-discovery. You’ll be inspired to consider not only how you became who you are, but also who you want to become moving forward. By asking better questions of yourself, you can begin to uncover patterns, shift perspectives, and step into the version of you that feels most authentic and aligned.

  • EP#19 The hidden weight of the mental load

    In this episode of The Curiosity Quest Podcast, we unpack the invisible but exhausting weight known as the mental load. It’s the constant to-do list running in your head—the reminders, planning, organizing, and anticipating—that often goes unseen but takes a very real toll on your energy, focus, and wellbeing.

    We’ll explore:

    • What the mental load really is (and how to recognize it in your daily life
    • How it impacts sleep, relationships, and overall resilience
    • Simple, practical ways to share, release, or reframe what you’re carrying
    • This conversation is about more than productivity—it’s about giving yourself permission to set things down, ask for help, and reclaim mental space. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “carrying it all,” this episode will give you both validation and strategies to lighten the load.

    • EP#18 Why it’s not selfish to put yourself first

      In this episode of The Curiosity Quest, we explore a truth many of us have struggled to embrace: putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

      If you’ve spent years putting everyone else’s needs before your own, you might feel guilty for wanting more time, space, or energy for yourself. But here’s the reality: your well-being is the foundation for everything else in your life.

      I’ll share why self-prioritization is actually a powerful act of self-preservation, how it benefits your relationships, and simple ways to start putting yourself back on your own priority list—without the guilt.

      If you’re ready to refill your cup and step into a more energized, intentional version of yourself, this episode is your invitation to begin.
