this episode is a cosy chat about the idea that good attracts more good—and vice versa too. we also get into being a pessimist vs an optimist and .... does luck even exist (we lowkey get kinda existential) ??

we end the episode by answering one of your listener questions "how to get past the initial stages of friendship to make deeper connections"! <3

society shapes how we see ourselves—whether it’s beauty standards or the pressure to fit in. but as we get older, something shifts. we start questioning what actually matters to us versus what we’ve been conditioned to believe. in this episode, we unpack how societal expectations influence self-perception, why we care so much about external validation in our early years,

whilst also exploring why it’s so important to love and accept yourself right now instead of looking back with regret.

in this solo episode, i share some honest thoughts on my struggles recently to make meaningful friendships and I unpack the psychology behind our craving for a built-in social circle, why adulthood makes friendships feel so much harder, and what we can actually do to cultivate real connection!

I also give you a little life update (spoiler: the parents meeting each other wasn’t the disaster my overthinking brain imagined) and share my thoughts on Binding 13 and Keeping 13!
