This episode is for you if:

• You’re feeling out of your comfort zone and questioning whether you’re on the right path

• You’re facing challenges that make you want to give up, even though something in you still wants to keep going

• The discomfort is overwhelming and you’re unsure how much longer you can stick it out

• You’re looking for a personal story of resilience to remind you why staying a little longer might change everything

In this episode, I dive into:

• The moment I sat crying on the floor of my bedroom in China, ready to walk away and the decision that changed the course of my life

• How I navigated extreme discomfort and slowly built the resilience and confidence I didn’t know I had

• Why giving myself “just two more weeks” was a powerful turning point that led to eight years abroad, a Mandarin-taught degree and the personal growth that followed

• The life lessons I carry with me today, about asking for help, rebuilding belief after setbacks and choosing to grow even when it feels easier to quit

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been trying to build something quietly. Maybe a business, a creative project, a new chapter, but it’s starting to feel lonely.
• You find yourself stuck in your head, second-guessing everything, or avoiding action altogether.
• You’ve bought into the “I don’t care what anyone thinks” mindset, but it’s not actually helping you move forward.

In this episode, we dive into:

• 3 common action blocks caused by disconnection (and how to recognise them in yourself)
• The myth of hyper-independence and why going it alone keeps you stuck
• How to take aligned, meaningful action and not just performative productivity
• What self-determination theory and the PERMA model teach us about motivation and momentum
• Practical tools you can use this week to feel more supported and start taking action
