welcome to Zooted—the podcast where overthinking meets oversharing. this has been a long time coming. some of these episodes were recorded months ago—some even a year ago—because, truthfully, it took me a while to get over the anxiety of putting myself out there. but here i am, finally pressing upload. this is a space where i say the things i wouldn’t normally say out loud, along with the i do talk about on a daily basis. some days, i might be deep in my feelings; other days, i might just be ranting about life. it’s raw, unfiltered and sometimes, even i don’t know where it’s going.

    credit where it’s due

    in this episode — i talk about how we don’t give ourselves nearly enough credit for simply showing up. for putting ourselves out there in a world that often feels loud, critical and way too quick to judge. whether it’s starting something new or sharing your work — it takes so much courage and that alone deserves to be acknowledged. i also reflect on how easy it is to be so focused on the finish line that we forget to celebrate the fact that we’re even running the race. we overlook the quiet wins, the baby steps, the inner shifts — because we’re waiting for the “big moment.”

    the death of art subjectivity

    in this episode, i dive into a quiet but powerful shift happening in the creative world — the slow death of art subjectivity. why does it feel like everyone today has the "right" answer to what’s good and what’s not? why has personal taste been replaced by algorithms, viral trends and collective standards? where do individual perspectives fit in a world obsessed with ratings and viral validation? i talk about what it means when art becomes less about feeling and more about approval. it’s a raw, honest conversation about reclaiming your own lens in a world that often pressures you to see art and yourself through somebody else’s eyes.

    give yourself a fkn break

    in a world that glorifies hustle and constant productivity, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. but what if you just… paused? this short episode is a gentle reminder that it’s okay not to have all the answers. it’s okay to rest. it’s okay to simply be. i talk about burnout, the guilt that comes with slowing down and how giving yourself a break is not weakness—it’s necessary for growth. if you’ve been feeling emotionally tired, overwhelmed or like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, this one’s for you.

    our need for external validation

    for the longest time, i struggled with the fear of doing things alone—whether it was making decisions without seeking validation, stepping into unfamiliar spaces without a friend by my side or simply experiencing life on my own terms. it felt safer to have someone co-sign my choices, but over time, i realized that constantly outsourcing my decisions was holding me back. in this episode, i unpack the fear of solitude, the comfort we find in external validation and the freedom that comes with learning to trust yourself. from second-guessing outfit choices to letting other people’s opinions dictate major life decisions, i explore how relying too much on others can disconnect us from our true desires. and more importantly, i talk about the power of doing things solo—how it builds confidence, deepens self-awareness and proves that you don’t need permission to live the life you want. so if you’ve ever hesitated to make a move without a second opinion or canceled plans just because no one could join, this episode is for you.
