HOLLA! Happy 2022 and all that. Sending big love to new and existing listeners. HERE'S TO THE NEW SEASON OF THE MOBILE MENTOR PODCAST: It's been a LOOONGGG time – I've been lapping up my return back to London/UK and living as presently as possible in pandemic times. Apologies for the delay in getting back to it (I vouch to be more consistent now that I've figured out a routine). ALSO, there's a br...

Ever thought of relocating but want to hear what it's like? Ever moved then gone elsewhere to get closer to where/who you want to be? After two years in Canada, one pandemic, (lots of visa paperwork), new career experiences, a great relationship, and mega life lessons, I'm heading back to the motherland. In an open and personal episode, I share what's driving me to this change and why BC didn't fe...

Everyone's "adulting" all of a sudden and I'm here like... Since the pandemic, I've been reflecting a lot and reassessing what I want moving forward (as I'm sure many of you have). And since hitting "the big three-oh" (whatever that means), I thought it was a great time to have an open, vulnerable, and honest conversation with you about where I'm at in life... All views are my own, no judgement on...

What a time to be alive.  It's been a whole year of the pandemic... I'm sure many of us have learned a lot about ourselves and been through a BUNCH of emotional phases. Here I share the main themes that have surfaced for me: my relationship with work, how I strive for perfection, my constant need to be problem-solving or 'doing' (plus what influences our programming on a societal level). With this...

Let's face it—finding our worth in a world full of mixed messages, hierarchies, algorithms, speed, and lots of noise (from parents, peers, and institutions) is FRIGGIN' hard. Heck, it's been a journey since my teens and will never cease. So, to help you discover yours and cultivate more ways self-care can work for you at the prime age of 30, I've put together 5 key themes I WISH I'D KNOWN SOONER!!...

Although the context and events of the year are different, the learnings I took from 2019 into 2020 still ring true. Here I discuss 4 main themes we can cultivate more of in 2021, plus some new reflections at the end. I hope you're all well; stay safe, humble, and home as much as possible. Thanks for being here. 🙏 Hope to be sharing more this year--reach out with anything you'd love to listen to...

HI AGAIN! Here, I share my story on how I moved from higher education in architecture to a copywriter at a global brand (part 1), and the 4 key ingredients I think helped get me there (part 2). It was no easy feat and a VERY stressful, confusing time throughout early adulthood, but after 10ish years, I've finally found a job area that stimulates me (the 'what' and 'where'), allows me to utilise MY...

**DISCLAIMER: Contains sexual themes. All views are my own :)** Hiiii! I hope you're staying safe, sane, and well. This episode is about my personal experiences and understanding of, bisexuality. I haven't spoken on this openly before, but after 29 years and further understanding myself in the context of society and the LGBTQ+ community, it was the right time. Listening to other people's stories (...

*FYI: SOME SWEAR WORDS USED IN THIS EPISODE* What. A. Time. It's been a while and you'll understand why after listening to this episode... I'm sure many of you have been working through the changes in lifestyle, the turbulent political, economic, and social climate too. After processing it all (relooking at my values, relationships, and how to use my time going forward), I've established 4 key lea...

A quote to frame this episode; ‘Your Brain and Culture Are Aspiring Against You.’ —Thinking Wrong (book). Here I offer a SUPER fun, short, and insightful exercise to help illuminate how you think and what to do with what you learn. You'll be surprised... Nowadays it's crucial for EVERYONE to look inward at how they're programmed and make changes... ______ Kudos to Jian Pablico—who leads Diversity...

Social media, the media at large, and our everyday conversations centre around racism, anti-racism, and the Black Lives Matter movement right now. With this, I'm seeing some common responses and behaviours arising that are problematic—here I unpack WHY. My hope is to help people (white friends and those with more privilege), to identify blind spots and ignorance, and work towards better understand...

This is a pretty personal episode... I wanted to provide some insight into being a person of colour in the world today. At first, I didn't feel I was 'black enough' to share my experiences with racism, but I'm hoping it can be a space of learning and help those who are unaware of racial biases, injustice or benefit from white privilege, to know what to detect. This is such a heavy time; it's been...

**NB. I discuss some physical aspects of parenting and punishment, so if this is triggering for you please come back another time :).**  Hiiii, ALL! I believe that it's pretty key to learn about each other in order to have richer relationships, be more sensitive to different experiences, and become more inclusive. So, here's a step towards that! 🙏 Due to 234523 days in self-isolation and cou...

The morning can be such a powerful time for us, and is integral in shaping our mindset for the rest of the day! This is NOT a morning routine blueprint, one size does NOT fit all. I share my experiences on trying something NEW, and why moving one's body, mind and checking in with oneself is a great start. FYI. THIS WAS RECORDED PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC AND LOCKDOWN/ISOLATION MEASURES. Hope you're all...

Hi all! Hope you're taking care of yourselves and loved ones in these uncertain times. With more time to slow down and reflect during this unprecedented pandemic, I've been putting my creative energy into a new project, Stories of Isolation. My experience of #selfisolation is different to yours, different to my neighbours, which is different to the family's abroad... So instead of separating us mo...

Self-care is an essential part of human existence in today's fast-paced, modern societies. This episode emphasizes the 'WHY' and importance of self-care—the strengthening of relationship with self, and what self-care could be. I also share some of my ultimate, daily/weekly/monthly strategies. 🙏🙏Hope you're well, and putting yourself (as much as you can) first. 🙏🙏Any feedback or episode ideas t...

THIS EPISODE WILL APPLY TO EVERYONE, AT ANY AGE, IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE!! It offers alternative ways to look at some important things we take on and think about in our everyday lives (with hopefully more ease and new insight!). Take goals, exercise, and sharing ideas as examples—we've all got our defaults in how we do, or consider these things... But maybe today, we can change that so we can get mo...

This is a SUPER interesting and relevant topic for ANYONE, AND for the world (that's super in need of more kindness) right now! Many of us don't think about how we behave and communicate with others day-to-day. This could cause or add to, difficulties for those who are different to us, who have less privilege, or who identify as being in a minority group. In this episode, we cover some challenges...
