In this EPISODE we dive [ within ] with RIANY founder of @floatingyou about leaving the music industry burnt out to pursue a life on her own terms with no clear vision ahead , but the pieces slowly came together on a journal during a long train ride through Sri Lanka’s centre.
[ Within ] is a podcast + publication that dives beneath the surface of creative success — into the inner terrain that shaped it. Hosted + Written by Molly Olivia , this production + publication features authentic conversations with artists, filmer’s, entrepreneurs, and rebels who’ve chosen to live life outside the lines.
We go deep into the why, the how, and the what-it-took behind their path — from mindset shifts, the silent battles and breakthroughs that never make the highlight reel.
This is about the internal adventure it takes to build a life worth living — on your own terms and pursuing your dreams. Whether you're on the verge of a creative leap or already walking the non-traditional path, [ within ] is your space to get inspired, get honest, and get real about what it means to find success in following your passion and creating your dream life.
sound bite and written blueprint to building the life you’ve always envisioned.
