    Friday Reflection

    Welcome to your Friday Reflection. Since Monday, we’ve been sitting with the idea of showing up even on the days when we don’t feel like it. Today, I just want to take a quiet moment with you to reflect. And if you feel like you didn’t show up the way you wanted to remember, you still have time. Showing up doesn’t have to look like hustling or doing something grand. Sometimes it’s just resting, or making a small choice that your future self will thank you for. As you step into the weekend, carry this with you: showing up isn’t about doing more, it’s about being present with what matters.I’m proud of you for making it through this week, for whatever showing up looked like for you.

    Episode 3. The Quiet Power of Showing Up (even when you don't feel like it)

    Today’s episode is called The Quiet Power of Showing Up (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It). And honestly… this one feels personal. Because I think we’ve all had those days where the last thing we want to do is get out of bed, open the laptop and work or go to the gym, or even reply to a message. But still even Just… showing up is enough.  We are not perfect but for some reason our morning routine has to be perfect or our workout plan has to be perfect or we won’t allow ourselves to colour outside the lines and end up bullying ourselves a bit when we dont tick off our to-do list or we take longer to reach a goal. So that’s what we’re going to talk about today, the little ways showing up changes everything, even when it feels impossible. And you need to ask yourself, who are you showing up for?  We spend the majority of our time with ourselves and most often we are our own motivators.   We live in a world that praises the big moments. The launches, the wins, the highlight reels. The milestones. The achievements. The hustle. But the truth is, those moments are built on the smaller, quieter ones. Perfectionism is a myth. And showing up doesn’t mean doing it perfectly. It doesn’t even mean doing it at 100%. It just means being there. Like planting one seed at a time, even if you can’t see the garden yet.

    Friday Reflection

    In today's Friday reflection, the topic we are talking about is time. How in our twenties and thirties, it can feel like it’s running out. Like we should be further ahead, doing more, being more. But here’s the truth: becoming is not a race. If you have a notebook or just want to think along, here’s your gentle journal prompt for today: What’s something I’ve wanted to begin but told myself it’s too late? What’s one tiny, imperfect step I could take this week to start anyway? What’s the timeline I’ve been measuring myself against and do I even want to keep it? Write it down, leave yourself a voice note or just let it sit with you as you move through the day. Fridays are for slowing down, remembering what matters, and being human. You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re just becoming. Thank you for being here for choosing to check in instead of check out. You’re already in the club. Follow on Instagram @theoptimisticclubhouse

    Episode 2: What if it's not too late?

    In today's episode, we’re talking about a feeling a lot of us carry quietly: What if I’m too late? And what if… you’re not?” You’re scrolling, and someone your age is launching a business, getting married, moving countries, writing books. And you wonder, did I miss the mark? You turn 24, or 27, or 32 and birthdays feel less like celebrations, more like deadlines. And quietly, you wonder: did I waste too much time? We were fed this silent script: do this by that age, look like this by then. But… whose rules are we even following? What if the timeline isn’t real? I hope you feel a little lighter after this episode. Stay Soft. Stay Hopeful. Stay in the Club. Follow us on Instagram @theoptimisticclubhouse

    Friday Reflections

    Let this be your permission to not rush. You’re allowed to land here, just as you are. Becoming is enough. On Monday, we talked about the difference between real optimism and toxic positivity. About how hope doesn’t have to mean pretending you’re okay. So today, I want to ask: Where did I feel pressure to be okay this week?Where did I allow myself to just be human? The work we’re doing here, choosing a gentle rebellion against burnout culture, hustle shame, and all-or-nothing thinking.   it’s slow and real. And that makes it powerful. Let me know your thoughts.

    Episode 1. This Is Not Toxic Positivity

    On our first episode, we're diving into what Toxic Positivity really is and how it could affect our well-being. It’s when positivity becomes pressure. When everything you’re feeling gets dismissed or sugar-coated. Like when you say, “I’m exhausted,” and someone replies, “But at least you have a job!” Or you admit you’re lonely, and they say, “You just need to love yourself more.” It comes from a well-meaning place… But what it often does is shut down real conversations. But here’s the thing. You can be grateful and grieving. You can be optimistic and overwhelmed. We are complex, contradictory beings and we deserve spaces that honour all of it. That’s why I created this podcast. Not to fix you. Not to force a silver lining. But to hold space for your softness in this hard-driven world.
