Conversations for everyday people living ordinary lives. The Everyday Project is a place to follow my curiosities, reflect on recent happenings, and appreciate the people that inspire me. You can expect authentic, casual chats about life, some brain dumps, honest stories and a thoughtful message in every episode. Mostly, I hope this can be a place to reflect on life, share some quality time, and quiet the noise whenever you need it.

    Flipping the Script on "Falling Behind"

    In a world obsessed with mortgages, promotions, and the "perfect" timeline, choosing a different path can feel like self-torture. We’re taught to measure success in digits and titles, but what happens when those milestones don’t mirror your heart? This episode is a raw reflection on the beauty of an unconventional life. From the grit of freelancing and the sting of job rejections to the freedom of a morning beach walk, I’m exploring the tension between society’s "shoulds" and our own "wants." We discuss why choosing curiosity over certainty isn’t just luck, it’s an intentional, courageous sacrifice. It’s about redefining work as more than a paycheck and realising that "falling behind" is an illusion when you’re finally walking your own way. If you’ve ever felt "less than" for choosing passion over a 9-to-5, this is your invitation to define your own version of wonderful. I'd love for this show to be a conversation, and since I’m just starting out, I’d love your feedback! DM me on socials with your thoughts, or if you want to help me grow, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts. I’d love to hear from you.
