Curious Mind in Progress

Society EN ↓ 19 episodes

Curious Mind in Progress is a space where I share what’s on my mind, as I figure out life in my 20s - one question at a time. I’m currently 24, and like most people my age (or any age), have no idea what I'm doing. Through this podcast, I aim to reflect on things that matter to me and spark my curiosity, in order to make a little more sense of it all. Sometimes I bring on people that inspire me in one way or another, and maybe what they'll share will inspire you too. It’s not about having the right answers, but daring to ask them.cover credit: @cara.wanderer

At what point can someone be considered a friend? 08.07.2025

In this episode, I embark on a journey to discover at what point I consider someone a friend, and why friendship breakups hurt so much (sometimes even more than when breaking up with boo). Why there are so little represented and why we haven't normalised them more - plus giving people more understanding and coping mechanisms. I also discuss why it's important to deal with loneliness, and n...

How can I become most free in the Act of Creation? 10.06.2025

Once upon a time, I was creating art without calling it that. I made up stories in my head and acted them out with my Barbies. I dreamt of faraway worlds and lived in them for a while. Now, as a (semi) adult, my brain has decided to sprinkle in self-doubt, perfectionism, and a hearty dose of criticism — and call it a day. In the first part of this five-part series — structured around the questions...
