Paths Back to You is a podcast about the paradox of being human: smart and self-sabotaging, wise and wildly lost. Together, we'll untangle messy ideas, reclaim the magic in nuance, and find practical ways to navigate the storm without losing ourselves. This isn’t about fixing you.

    54. I Quit My 9-5 Corporate Job to Pursue My Dream Life, Was It Worth It?

    I’ve never walked a traditional path. My brief time in the corporate world felt like a layover, something I did out of financial need and the desire for stability. Maybe even my late attempt at “adulthood.” But it became clear pretty quickly that this life wasn’t meant for me. Even though uncertainty terrifies me and I have my own anxieties about the future, I decided to take the leap: leaving corporate, betting on myself, and returning to the path of being a content creator while building my own business. This is an honest reflection on what that transition is really like, the excitement and the stress, the hope and the doubt, and the reality behind starting a new chapter, a new venture, and a new version of your life. If you’re navigating a career change, thinking about quitting your job, or exploring entrepreneurship, I hope this helps you feel less alone.📥 Grab the free Micro-Yes Starter Kit: https://www.diajin.com/free ❣️ Return to Self (course waitlist) https://www.diajin.com/return-to-self-waitlist 🔑 https://diajin.com(1:1 offers, and other ways to work with me) ✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribe Socials: 🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin 🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/diajin 🐝 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@diajin Topics covered: How I left my 9–5 corporate job, Career change at 30+ (why I walked away from stability), Quitting corporate to become a content creator, Transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship, What self-employment is really like behind the scenes, Building a business from scratch as a solo creator, The emotional side of taking a leap of faith, Choosing creativity over certainty, The hidden stressors of starting a business, How to know when a job isn’t aligned, Navigating uncertainty while reinventing your life, Mindset shifts for new entrepreneurs and creators, Honest reflections on leaving the traditional path

    53. A Message From Your Future Self (If you've been trying, healing, and feeling stuck, watch this)

    If you're doing the inner work but nothing's changing, you're feeling frustrated and stuck, I hear you. I've been there many times. I spent 20 years chasing breakthroughs before I realized: transformation doesn't happen in aha moments. It happens in the small, boring actions I used to dismiss as "band-aids." In this video, I break down why might still feel stuck in the same patterns (even after all your efforts), what creates lasting change, and a reminder that yes, it all matters. everything you're doing is building the bridge to future you/back home. 📥 Grab the free Micro-Yes Starter Kit: https://www.diajin.com/free 🔗Join the waitlist for Return to Self❣️: https://www.diajin.com/return-to-self-waitlist 🔑 https://diajin.com (Courses, 1:1 offers, and other ways to work with me) ✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribe 🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin 🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/diajin Topics:self love practices, inner work tips, feeling stuck in life, transformation journey, self worth journey, anxious attachment healing, mental health journey, personal development tips, nervous system regulation, healing journey, emotional growth, building self trust, breaking old patterns, small habits that changed my life, micro habits for mental health

    52. How to Heal Your Nervous System (not just hacks to manage symptoms)

    You're doing all the nervous system tools: breathwork, grounding, somatic exercises—but you're still getting triggered, still spiraling, still stuck in the same patterns. Here's why: you're treating symptoms, not the system. In this video, I break down what nervous system regulation actually means (it's NOT about being calm), why the tools alone won't create lasting change, and the deeper layer most people miss, the one that keeps your system running old protection programs even when you're "safe." 🔗 Ready to go deeper?

    50. How I Traveled the World With No Savings and a One-Way Ticket (What I Learned About My Own Self-Worth)

    In 2017, I booked a one-way ticket with no savings and no real plan. I just needed to run away and escape the version of me who felt low and lost. That leap into the unknown began a three year journey across Asia, Europe, and New Zealand that ended up teaching me far more than how to travel. In this episode, I share how I started a travel YouTube channel from scratch, worked odd jobs abroad, and slowly turned documenting my life into a career. There were a lot of uncertainty along the way but it was the start of completely reprogramming my self-worth and belief system. 🔑 https://diajin.com(Courses, 1:1 offers, and other ways to work with me) ✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribe(I share more personal and in-depth essays on there, plus we can chat in real time!) 🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin 🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/diajin 🎙 My podcast "Paths Back to You" Listen on iTunes: https://apple.co/3iJVVwIListen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2PYcE3a 👻 My Spooky podcast "Soup of The Night"Listen on iTunes: https://bit.ly/4fv6PVFListen on Spotify: https://bit.ly/4lg5O5d
