It’s me, a Singaporean girl chasing meaning in the in-betweens. From career pivots to identity shifts, I’m here to talk through the beautiful mess of becoming. This is a safe space for anyone confused about what’s next, or feeling like something’s missing in life. New episodes when the universe (and my nervous system) align. So buckle up, we’re cleared for takeoff.

  1. From Events to Endings: Death Literacy with Catherine Ashton

    FEB 11

    From Events to Endings: Death Literacy with Catherine Ashton

    What happens when a life-altering accident forces you to slow down, confront mortality, and re-evaluate what actually matters? You get Catherine Ashton, a car accident survivor who went on to found Critical Info, a social enterprise making end-of-life planning more accessible. This conversation is for anyone navigating a forced pause, a values reset, or the uncomfortable realisation that the life you thought you’d have… isn’t the one you’re building anymore. P.S. There’s a fair bit of death talk in this episode, so make sure you’re feeling grounded before you hit play. We talk about it not because it’s taboo or scary, but because it’s an act of care, for yourself and the people you love.

    From Proof to Pilates: Finding Fulfillment with Jordan

    What happens when you finally get everything you worked for... and still feel empty? You have Jordan who realised success didn’t equal fulfillment, handed in her resignation without a backup plan, and eventually followed a long-held pull to Europe. We reflects on identity, belonging, fear, abundance vs scarcity, and what it actually means to live authentically. This conversation is for anyone questioning the life they built, or sensing there has to be more to life. P.S. The audio isn’t perfect (yes, I know!! I’m working on it and also open to mic sponsors), but I promise the content is worth it. Stick with us.

    From Spectator to Storyteller: Tayla’s Creative Arc

    What happens when you trade the "slow death" of a small town for a blind leap across the world? You get Tayla, a creative from the UK who spends her days "gentle parenting" world-class artists while rebuilding her own identity from scratch. In this episode, we explore the shift from asking “what should I be?” to “what actually keeps me alive?” It’s a conversation about building a life without a map, the reality of imposter syndrome, and learning to trust that simply trying is more than enough. P.S. If you’ve ever felt like an imposter while herding geniuses, or you’re just trying to figure out which version of yourself to be today, this one is for you.

    JAN 14

    From Roles to Real: Kirsten's Journey Back to 16

    What if the "mid-life crisis" isn't a crisis at all, but a homecoming? You get Kirsten who after three decades of checking the boxes, decided to stop hitting society’s KPIs and start hitting her own. We explore the female rebellion of turning 50, the power of a 15-minute daily ritual, and what it actually looks like to return to yourself after decades of being "off-track." P.S. For those who are afraid of growing up: Kirsten is proof that your 50s might just be the most "you" you’ve ever been.

    From Moving to Making: Selin on Finding Home

    What happened when a free-spirited traveler realised that "dream places" don’t make for perfect lives? You get Selin, a jewelry shop owner, lifestyle model, and barista who spent seven years staying nowhere for longer than three months, until she landed in Melbourne. In this episode, we explore how small encounters change entire life paths, the shift from being a “kite” to becoming grounded, and the quiet rebellion of a Turkish woman choosing her own freedom. P.S. If you believe in the butterfly effect, you’ll feel very at home here.

    From Spirits to Stage: Jack’s Creative Trade

    What happens when you grow up in a legacy… and decide to build your own? You get Jack Lark, a literal jack-of-all-trades, who is defining his own creative path outside of his family's whisky dynasty. In this episode, he breaks down the messy middle of the multi-hyphenate life, his struggles with "freelancer guilt", and explains his philosophy for being a "happy artist" instead of a starving one. P.S. He briefly contemplates giving up and becoming a psychologist after watching "Shrinking". We get it.

    From Finance to Founder: Building Cheetah with Jarvin

    What happens when a high-flying career feels less rewarding than building things on your own? You get Jarvin, founder of Cheetah, who gave up his cushy corporate role to become the "master of his own fate." This episode breaks down professional autonomy, product thinking, a splash of stoicsm and the moment he realised he was leading like a villain in a startup movie. P.S. Yes, we debate which emoji best sums up the chaos of being your own boss.

    Side Quest: Grief

    What happens when grief isn’t a chapter but the whole curriculum? This episode traces the lessons of carrying too much love, navigating hyper-independence, and the grief of shedding old selves and relationships. Dramatic? Yes. Honest? Always. Rambly? Guilty as charged. P.S. This one’s for the big-feelings people, the hyper-independents, the Pisces-empaths, and anyone learning that love and grief can coexist.
