The MOBILE MENTOR

Hi wonderful humans. I took some time off podcasting this year (tbh, work was very busy, and I had lots of planning and to-dos, so creating content fell off). But – after an eventful week – and now WAY more time on my hands, I have decided to use my voice. Surprisingly, with recent life changes and unexpected news RE: health and work, I've felt more inspired... It's story time! It feels li...

Welcome to another episode in season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod, and an episode on a topic that's SUPER important to me: Empathy. This was brought about by some family friction this recent Christmas (because, duh!). I chat about said family friction, how it affected me, and what I realised about myself and my defaults as a result of other people's situations and emotions. And tbh, I wasn&#...

NEWS FLASH: I’m living back in Vancouver. With a housemate. I’m a freelance Creative. I’m turning 34 this month. And I feel BACK in my vibe, baby! I haven’t felt this content, aligned, and on-the-up for a while! Emerging from a dusty and down period, I know and accept myself more than ever. So today, I’ma share my views on ‘adulting’ and societal expectations at this age, and what my situation is....

Been through some tough times lately? Life feel a bit out of control and you're finding it hard to cope? Settle in to this episode, I've got you. This is part 2 to the episode, ' Handling Change is Harder in My 30s.' Here are my learnings in hindsight on getting through lots of life sectors being in flux and uncertain simultaneously – work, love life, and constantly moving around living out of a s...

Welcome to season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod!! I thought I'd mark 2025 with a brand-new season. Thank god 2024 is over... It was a tumultuous and very fast-moving year. I am happy to move on to more pleasant, stable, and peaceful pastures. This episode, I share how I start every new year in a softer, self-compassionate, and less strict way (I am not a fan of the old 'new year's resolutions' lark a...

I AM BACK after 4 months out! I missed being here, but tbh I just wasn't ready. 2024 may have knocked me a lot harder than ’23 (!!?)–because boy was it full of change and uncertainty–so much so, I took time off podcasting to refocus on getting well and clear. So here's my life update. The theme is: Rejection + Reflection = Redirection. The end of the year is usually the time for taking stock of im...

Hi Hi! Here's your July episode. This is a VERY personal one... If you feel a bit lost, are going through change in yourself or are seeking some advice on how to feel better about who you are, this episode is for you. I've had a decent stint diving into 'Self' lately, relearning who I am now. The end of 2023/first half of 2024 saw me going through a lot of change and uncertainty; i...

I AM BACK, as always, in late fashion. This one's a juicy one and deserved some time aging in the barrel. Here are my reflections on how different–and the same–uprooting life and moving to Canada for a second has been–but this time in my thirties... For anyone who is thinking of moving abroad, wants to understand what you might learn, is curious about Canada, or who has moved abroad and wants...

Hi! Gosh, missed you all. First up: BIG SHOUT-OUT TO YOU. We hit 10k, all-time listens of The Mobile Mentor and I am JAZZED. <3 <3 Here's to 10 more in half the time, haha! This week, a little diary entry for you (not a big life update 'cos I'm saving a juicy one for a cruise lowdown episode!). Here's what's been up lately; something feels off and I am tryna work out what...

Intuition. It is SO important. And the older I get, the more I realise this. In the Western world, we aren't taught how to connect with it aka listen to ourselves. So, when I was younger I kinda went around 'thinking' a lot; doing what 'I should' do and what is 'valuable' (in society's terms) . I guess I was ruled by the dominant culture and the 'norm' like...

This January baby is 33. And loves it! Tune in to hear why...

Hi, lovely people. Hope you're all holding up in current circumstances. (I know it's super sad and heavy for many right now.) I'm back again after a significant life change and wanted to settle in before 'reporting' back. I MOVED TO CANADA (solo) from the UK! It's been just what I needed. I've been here for just over 6 weeks now! Here's the down low on why I left, w...

ORIGINAL LINKEDIN ARTICLE : We will lose the imaginative, mindful, beautifully-unpredictable process of creating now AI is here. (From an optimist) ___________ Hi, folks! So glad to be back. This topic's a little novel for me but still relevant in my Mobile Mentor meanderings, nonetheless. If you're a designer, writer, carpenter, photographer, creator of any kind (digital or otherwise), or...

HI HI HI. Welcome back! So I'm just going to say it – I think I'm having another life crisis..? But this time, not quarter-life. I'm 31, feeling in a rut, under a grey cloud, uninspired and less vibrant. Is it my day-to-day, line of work, feeling the shift with peers in different stages, a bigger change in self that needs to be addressed?  With this, I've spent some time solo to listen to my...
