    The Audacity to Want It All

    For most of my career I followed other people's scripts without realizing that's what I was doing. Consulting in New York because it was the prestigious path. A croissanterie in Sydney because baking was my hobby. Teaching yoga because instructors’ lives looked so free. I kept seeing what other people had and thinking: that equation works for them, so it must work for me too. It didn't. This is about what I found when I stopped looking at everyone else and got radically honest with myself — finally giving myself permission to pursue audacious goals, even with it all is uncertain. In this episode: why I kept making the same mistake in two completely different phases of my career, what working at a bakery taught me about romanticizing, and why I'm finally giving myself permission to pursue big audacious goals — even with all of the uncertainty.

    Good Guess — Jaime in the Alps

    Jaime has quit a lot of things. A commerce degree she hated, a corporate job, an interior design career, a yoga teaching business. Not because she's flaky — because she kept making perfectly logical guesses with her head and landing somewhere that almost worked. I met Jaime while hiking in the Alps back in 2022 when she told me the craziest story about losing her engagement ring. She loves growing sweet potatoes and writing sustainability communications. Her home is full of stunning artwork — most of it she made herself. In this conversation: the pattern she noticed across every leap, why she'd rather downsize her house than compromise her days, and why she was completely fine with her partner spending three weeks in India while she was pregnant.

    Burning the Script at 33

    If you've ever done the math on your life — working backwards from the age you were supposed to have it together, and then spent years making decisions from the fear of falling behind it — this one's for you. I turned 33 this week, and it definitely does not look like what I had planned out when I was 22. For most of my twenties, every birthday was a quiet report card against a timeline I’d invented in private. This birthday I recorded out loud and put on the internet. This one’s personal - it’s the moment I realized I'd been waiting for permission I could have given myself the whole time. In this episode: the timeline I built my twenties around, what Antarctica taught me about giving yourself permission, and why I celebrated turning 33 by putting this on the internet. New episodes every Wednesday. If you want to celebrate my birthday with me, please subscribe, review, and share this podcast with a friend.

    Everyone You Admire Is Also Figuring It Out — Anna in Antarctica

    Anna booked a last-minute cruise to Antarctica from a random WhatsApp number on a Sunday night. No plan, no backup — just a hostel in Ushuaia and the beginning of a year-long career break that would change what she believed she was worth. We ended up as bunkmates at the bottom of the world — two women who each thought the other had it completely together. I saw her as confident and self-possessed. She saw me as someone who had it figured out. We were both wrong, and that was the most reassuring thing. Anna is from Germany, and she spent a year traveling solo through South America, Asia, and Australia — and is now renovating a 157-year-old house entirely by herself. In this conversation: what it actually feels like to leave everything behind, how a year of traveling and living differently changed her sense of self, and discovering a new love for penguins.
