In this episode, I’m unpacking the whole idea of “gifted child syndrome” you know, when doing well really young sets you up for burnout later on. I talk about how being labeled early shapes your identity, how chasing academic validation can get exhausting, and how society often flattens intelligence into just one definition. I also get into why a growth mindset matters, the different ways brilliance can actually show up, and a bit of my own reflections on navigating those expectations.

Friendship feels so different these days. No one wants to be inconvenienced anymore, everything is scheduled like a meeting, and we’re lonelier than ever even though we’re ‘connected’ all the time. In this episode I talk about how vulnerability, community, and just showing up (even when it’s inconvenient) might be the real recipes we’re losing. I’m not a perfect friend none of us are but I’ve been having this convo a lot lately and wanted to sit down and share my thoughts with you too.

In this episode, I take you through a stream of consciousness style episode sharing life’s ebbs and flows, it’s a mini “thought dump”. Let me know what you think as always! 🩶

This is an episode I wanted to keep in the drafts but for consistency sake and the fact I have not been able to record in a couple weeks, here you go. In this episode a few of my friends explain or talk about if people can change or if thats just how they are are. I think there are many layers to this conversation.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

In this episode i explore the themes of grace, mercy, and spiritual growth within the context of faith. I reflect on how we often take God's grace for granted and how we seem to fear out earthly counterparts more than we do God, leading to a lack of reverence and spiritual stagnation.

The conversation/thought emphasizes the importance of recognizing the consequences of sin and the need for genuine repentance and growth in one's spiritual journey.

In this episode, i explore the concept of success and fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of personal definitions over societal expectations. I also talk about the confusion many feel when following prescribed paths to success, highlighting the need for self-discovery and journaling as tools for understanding one's own desires and definitions of happiness. I also encourage everyone listening to recognise that success can take many forms and that contentment can coexist with ambition.

In this episode, my friend and I discuss whether being this aware is a good or bad thing. We discuss doom scrolling, how addicting our phones are, and how they’re an extension of us. We also wonder if this is what God wanted or if we, as humans, have strayed again. (something He would have always factored in his plan, anyways)
