GUESS WHAT!?

The audio quality is matching the energy levels at the moment. Just checking in with not much but too much to say at the same time. Hopefully, talk to you soon!

No episode description this week because I am a tired girl but give it a listen cause this week was good fun!

Why does January feel  sooo  long, and why am I  soooo  tired?! Between low energy, doubts, and a strong urge to "run away," I’m questioning where I’m headed and whether I even like it. It’s clear: I need a plan to turn things around!

This week was a real rollercoaster from "omg there're so many cool, fun new things happening, this is so exciting " to "oh wow there're so many new things happing, I'm really learning a lot" to "oh man this is really a lot" to "wow I am fulfilled but man I am also tired" . A wild mix of "let's get it"-energy, overambition, exhaustio...

This week, I did a lot, thought a lot, and felt some things—but not always with much intention. So, I’m diving into the idea of being intentional. It’s not about making sense of everything but learning to (re)direct yourself in certain situations to achieve the outcome you actually want (especially when your thoughts are slipping into a negative spiral for no reason). From sticking to New Year’s r...

Guess what... I still don't have it all figured out! Not even close - and neither do you need to. After (halfway) bringing you along the uncertainty of 2024, welcome to another unpredictable year of navigating life in our 20s. Picture this one friend that always sends suuuuper long voice memos - that's me, and that's what this season should feel like. Quite some change has happened and loads more...

I am back! I don't have a valid excuse for not posting over the past few weeks, but I'm here to catch you up on life and talk about the bittersweet busyness of summer. A lot of great things are happening, though it might be a bit too much at times. Give it a listen and let me know if you can relate.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Do you remember some of your many answers to that question when you were younger? Moral of this story, and therefore this episode, is that while I'm getting much closer, I'm still not entirely sure about the exact answer now. However, I'm here to tell you why it's actually a good thing and how, through hard work and open-mindedness, I'm...

No, I'm not here to brag about how good I'm feeling at the moment. Instead, I want to remind you that every struggle is worth it because — cheesy warning — where there is discomfort, there is growth.

This episode is just as straightforward as the title: a list of things, some more serious than others, that I have noticed recently should be wayyyy more normal and cause less perplexed reactions in people.

Taking a look back at the first quarter of the year and one thing really caught me off guard: emotions. I found myself feeling a lot more emotions, which also lead to shedding a lot more tears than what I'm used to (like, a lot more). However, amidst the emotional rollercoaster, I've realised that, cliché as it may sound, there's beauty in embracing our feelings, even the messy ones. W...

As the night falls and thoughts brew, I find myself questioning the emphasis often placed on working harder, but not necessarily better: Why does more challenging often equal more valuable? Why is are we constantly focused on outcomes? What are the dynamics behind it? How do societal norms, cultural expectations, social conditioning and comparison shape our perception of value and the choices we m...

This week I am really just rambling about solo-dates and romanticising your life. I have been finding a lot of joy in doing things alone, from window shopping to solo breakfasts and dance parties at home, to going to the movies, leaving me very content with my own company. However, this got me thinking about the importance of prioritising me-time while maintaining healthy social connections. On to...

With this episode, I want to encourage you to put more effort into understanding others before drawing conclusions based solely on our own perspectives. Talking about why it's crucial to consider the “why” behind someone's words and actions, and how their experiences shape their actions, can be key to taking things less personally and fostering empathy in our relationships. Among navigatin...

A short episode of me being surprisingly bothered by apparently not having “a thing” at the moment, trying to figure out why that is and the process of (re)discovering a unique personal interest. What are you passionate about? What brings out real excitement in you? And what is something you get real nerdy about? Or simply what do you all over your for-you page?

Navigating the fine line between thinking things through and overthinking can be tricky, right? Hear more about my recent experience and attempt to find a better balance between reflection and unnecessarily overanalysing stuff again and how it impacts our decision-making and understanding of ourselves. While it is important to be self aware, it is just as important to be able to enjoy the small mo...

Diving deeper into the career related topics this episode is about navigating management styles and the impact of company culture. Not as dry as it might sound like, I promise! I find it quite interesting how personal differences can shape workplace dynamics and personalities match differently with various management approaches, creating a unique workplace experience for each individual as well as...

What happens when you get me started talking on a good day ... Nearly an hour of sharing my recent experiences, thoughts and feelings on the changing dynamics in friendships, and the natural process of outgrowing old friendships while making new ones. And let's not forget how living in a different country can add layers of complexity and uncertainty to these friendships.

Success, much like beauty, is subjective and deeply personal. In this episode, I am looking beyond the conventional definition of success and explore its diverse meanings across individuals. From financial stability to making a difference in others' lives, there are many ways success is defined, based on personal values and desires. Learn why it matters to redefine success on a personal level,...

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of our inner dialogue and internal reflections, exploring how they shape our mindset and emotional resilience. I begin by sharing my own experiences with the effects of negative versus positive self-talk. The discussion continues with my current struggle to find balance between toughness and vulnerability in personal and professional settings, also wh...

Leveraging the power of connections, one cup of coffee at a time! Join me in a slightly caffeinated conversation about networking. If you were ever unsure about how to network and why networking will be a game-changer for your career - let me tell you. From LinkedIn to coffee chats to gaining industry insights and knowledge, in this episode, I talk about the benefits, different approaches, actiona...

In this week's episode, we dive into the topics of passion projects, side hustles, and toxic hustle culture, often glorified on social media. While I advocate for the fulfillment found in creative outlets, the toxicity of hustle culture often leaves you feeling not 'enough' when doing something simply because you enjoy it. Should productivity alone really be the goal in everything we d...

From navigating the chaos to challenging expectations and finding learnings in unexpected situations. In this first episode of this career talk series, I share my experience of the initial stage of starting your professional career after graduating. While I have found a lot of joy in growth and new experiences I also talking about the challenges and recurring frustrations I have come across. Most...

Kicking off the podcast journey in 2024, a year of uncertainty and room for surprises. From the spontaneity of New Year's reflections to embracing a more carefree “Why not?" attitude, I’ll take you along navigating through the current unpredictability of life. Talking about my intentions for the podcast this episode sets the tone for candid conversations about life in your twenties through sharing...
