A Millennial Mind is a podcast about perspective, because when you understand someone’s mind, you understand their world. But we all live with limited data. Our beliefs, experiences, and knowledge are just a few dots. And if you don’t collect enough dots, you can’t connect them and you can’t grow.
That’s why this podcast exists: to gather those dots.
Each episode, I invite experts, thought leaders, and change makers to challenge how I think, on everything from mental health, hormones, and habits to relationships, identity, and success. We bust myths, reframe narratives, and explore what it really takes to shift your mindset. Because when you change your mind, you change your thoughts.And when you change your thoughts, you change your life. So if you’re ready to think differently, welcome to the reimagined A Millennial Mind.

I’ve always thought that romantic heartbreak was the ultimate pain, but this conversation? It challenged everything I believed about the grief of losing a friend…
I sat down with the phenomenal Michelle Elman - five-time bestselling author, life coach and the renowned ‘Queen of Boundaries’ - to debate the ideas in her powerful new book, "Bad Friend". We get into why society seems to place friendship at the bottom of the hierarchy of grief and I challenge her on whether losing a friend can truly hurt more than a romantic split.
If you’ve ever felt the sting of a friendship ending, questioned your own role in your relationships or felt lonely even when surrounded by people, this episode is for you. We don't shy away from the uncomfortable questions and I share some of my own vulnerabilities and blind spots.
This is a journey into the pain we rarely give ourselves permission to feel. So, ready to change your mind?

A Millennial Mind is a podcast about perspective, because when you understand someone’s mind, you understand their world. But we all live with limited data. Our beliefs, experiences, and knowledge are just a few dots. And if you don’t collect enough dots, you can’t connect them and you can’t grow.
That’s why this podcast exists: to gather those dots.
Each episode, I invite experts, thought leaders, and change makers to challenge how I think, on everything from mental health, hormones, and habits to relationships, identity, and success. We bust myths, reframe narratives, and explore what it really takes to shift your mindset. Because when you change your mind, you change your thoughts.And when you change your thoughts, you change your life. So if you’re ready to think differently, welcome to the reimagined A Millennial Mind.
Hit subscribe and let’s start connecting the dots together.
