Coming Home to Her

At 37, Robin went through a heartbreak and had to start over. The same day her first video went viral online, her relationship ended. Instead of hiding, she kept filming, and her honest, funny, sometimes tearful videos have since inspired over 30,000 people. In this episode, we talk about rebuilding yourself after heartbreak, finding structure in the chaos, why starting over isn’t “late,” and what...

This week I signed up for a public speaking course. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for over six months, and I kept putting it off. In this episode, I’m talking about how I want to end this year: not with resolutions, but with intention. Why I’d rather try something and fail than keep dreaming about it, the research behind why we all wait for January 1st (and why you don’t have to), and what’s on...

When we were long distance, my independence came automatically. Then we moved in together, and I didn’t even notice it slowly disappearing. In this episode, I’m sharing what it was really like moving to a brand new city for my relationship: no friends, no routine, no job, and leaning on him way more than I ever expected. I talk about the day I told him “I’m sorry, I love you, but I need a day to m...

Two months into a fully remote job, and I have thoughts. The flexibility is incredible — working from a beach in Lisbon, lunch workouts, visiting family without burning PTO. But nobody really talks about what it feels like when the walls of your apartment start caving in and all you want is to say good morning to someone. This one’s for my fellow extroverts who genuinely love remote work and also...

Nobody tells you that moving abroad means a new appointment every week, an accent that quietly changes, and a lot of silent elevator rides. It's been almost 8 years since I left Maui, and I've lived in 4 countries. In this episode, I'm sharing what nobody tells you: the endless bureaucracy (yes, I have another appointment tomorrow), why my friends back home now call me "the Euro g...

At 25, Emily founded BRAINANDBABES. This year, it crossed seven figures for the second year in a row. And the strangest part? She got used to it. In this episode, Emily gets honest about what nobody tells you about hitting your big goal: the goalpost keeps moving, the hardest part isn't the numbers, and there were years she thought about quitting. But the Emily behind the business isn't qu...

Why is it so easy to achieve something you once really wanted and immediately start thinking about what’s next? I recently realized how quickly I move the goalpost without actually stopping to acknowledge how far I’ve come. From finally getting a job after nine months of unemployment to starting this podcast after wanting a creative outlet for years, somehow my brain is always onto the next thing....

Yesterday I started work at 7:30am. A friend invited me to a vineyard for sunset dinner after work. My first instinct was absolutely not. I went anyway. It was one of the nicest things I'd done all week. In this episode I'm talking about the very real tension between wanting to decompress after work and still wanting to have a life. Especially when you're in a new job, working fully re...

I grew up in Maui. I wear bikinis in December. I had never needed a winter coat until I was 18. And then I moved to Copenhagen. Seven European winters later, I still hate it. But I have learned a few things. In this episode, I'm sharing what actually gets me through the darker months — not the generic "light a candle and drink hot chocolate" advice, but the specific mindset shift som...

Last year, during the week of my birthday, I got laid off. And somehow, that ended up being the year that taught me the most about who I am. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the four biggest lessons from my 25th year — learning to detach from people you love without becoming cold, getting firmer on who gets access to you, what presence actually looks like in your relationships, and why a rude co...

Last week I was on a call with my mom. She lives 12 hours behind me. I fly 27 hours once a year to see her. And I was reading client emails while we were talking. That moment is what this episode is about. I’m talking about what it actually means to be present with the people you love — not just physically there, but actually there. With your partner on a random Wednesday at 8 p.m. when you’re bot...

For the past nine months I was unemployed. I've never talked about it on here — the anxiety, the imposter syndrome, the hundreds of job applications, the wondering if anyone would ever hire you again. Until now. In this episode I'm talking about what it actually means to make a week feel good when life doesn't slow down enough to let you. I just started a new job, I have no free weeken...

Three years ago I met Bibi completely randomly on a street in Copenhagen. We stayed in each other's orbit through Instagram, and this episode is the first time we actually properly sat down and got to know each other. Bibi is originally from Lisbon, lived in Barcelona for years, spent a year in Amsterdam, and recently moved back to Lisbon. In this episode we talk about what it actually feels l...

Sphinx cats. Baby content. Elderly Japanese restaurant owners that make me want to cry. This is apparently what my FYP has decided I am. In this episode I'm asking a question I think most of us have never stopped to consider — does the internet create who you are, or does it just find you? I talk about the things my algorithm got completely right about me, the things it got completely wrong, t...

Have you ever been in a season where you're supposed to be resting, but all you can think about is everything else you could be doing? In this episode, I'm talking about the tension between wanting a soft life and being naturally ambitious — wanting rest, peace and balance, but also wanting purpose, productivity, growth and something to build. I share what this looks like for me as I prepa...

My brother Marcus is finally on the podcast. In this episode, we talk about what it was like growing up in Maui, both leaving home in different directions, and how our relationship has changed as we've built separate adult lives away from the place we came from. We get into the strange feeling of missing home while also knowing you're not meant to move back, what it means to reinvent yours...

Everyone starts posting online thinking it'll be fine. It is not fine. In this episode, I sit down with Sabrina — content creator and business lawyer — who has been posting for seven years and has had videos reach over a million views. We talk about what it actually felt like to start, why having people you know watch is scarier than strangers watching, how she kept videos on her phone for mon...

People talk about romanticizing your life like it’s an aesthetic. Matcha, linen, golden hour walks. But I think it’s actually something else entirely. In this episode, I talk about a moment I had on a flight going through old photos — realizing I was romanticizing memories I wasn’t even fully present for when I was living them. I also share a piece of advice someone gave me during the hardest wint...

Lucky Girl Syndrome is everywhere. Girls swearing that walking around expecting good things to happen actually makes them happen. And honestly? I can't fully decide if it's genius or unhinged. In this episode I share why I think there's actually something real in it — including a memory from when I was 14 sitting on a playground in Copenhagen that I still think about. Plus where I thin...

You know you've become a local somewhere the day you stop using Google Maps. Today I'm talking about how a new place actually starts to feel like home — not one big moment, but small things repeating until they add up. The metro you used to fear. The cafe that knows your face, not your name. A street you no longer need a map for. If you've ever moved somewhere new and wondered when it...

Today’s episode is a little lighter, a little more opinionated, and honestly… slightly hypocritical. I’m talking about things I think are overrated — from “that girl” routines and the 5AM club to cold plunges, dating apps, situationships, LinkedIn culture, and the idea that your 20s are automatically the best years of your life. Some I respect. Some I do. Some I simply cannot get behind. It’s not...

Making friends as an adult is so much harder than anyone warns you about. When we're younger it just kind of happens. Same environment, same people, forced together until suddenly you have a best friend. But as an adult — especially when you've moved somewhere new — you actually have to try. And trying is awkward. In this episode I talk about why it gets so much harder as we get older, wha...

I used to be so sure about certain things. That real friends never drift apart. That adults had everything figured out. That confidence meant never doubting yourself. That moving abroad would magically solve more than it actually did. In this episode I'm looking back at ten things I genuinely believed at 22 — and what happened when real life proved me wrong. Some of them are funny. Some of the...

Okay we’ve been pretty emotionally deep lately. So today — no identity crises, no emotional unpacking. Just me talking about the random things I’m currently obsessed with, what life/routine has genuinely looked like lately, and a little Vienna life update. We’re talking coffee rituals, my unhinged skincare situation, workout classes, emotional support cafés, Caesar salads at an unreasonable freque...

You know that feeling when you leave someone and you're just... exhausted. And nothing bad even happened. Some people don't drain you dramatically. They just slowly use up all the space. In this episode I talk about what heavy energy actually looks like, why the guilt of it is the hardest part, and why your exhaustion around certain people is information worth listening to.
