Twenty Something & Totally Lost: Lessons with Ron Lim on Finding Yourself in the Wildest Decade

52| Your 20s can feel like a constant identity crisis — one minute you think you’ve figured it out, the next you’re questioning everything you've ever done. In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and returning guest Ron Lim (@ronwritings), author of Twenty Something, to talk about the chaos, clarity, and curveballs that defined this decade for us. We get into the real stuff: what it means to feel lost, how to listen to yourself, and why success doesn’t ever follow a straight line.

In the episode, we cover:

  • Why feeling lost often leads to clarity
  • The pressure to figure it all out in your early 20s — and why it’s BS
  • The importance of getting lost to find what actually matters to you
  • Letting go of who you thought you should be to become who you really are
  • How to stop outsourcing your self-worth and start trusting your own voice

The Prison of Perfectionism: How You Can Finally Break Free

51| Perfectionism isn’t the badge of honor we often think it is — it’s a prison that keeps us stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with perfectionism, how it took centre-stage in my life, and the messy but freeing path Ive been taking to overcome it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re never good enough or like fear is running the show, this one’s for you.


We cover:

  • The sneaky ways perfectionism disguises itself and keeps you small
  • Why procrastination and self-sabotage are often signs of perfectionism
  • The emotional toll of trying to “get it right” all the time
  • How self-compassion and letting go of control changed everything for me
  • Practical tools to break free from perfectionism and take bold, imperfect action

What No One Tells You About Your 20s: 10 Things I Wish I Knew

50| Your 20s can feel like the longest decade ever while simultaneously a whirlwind —equal parts magic and mess. After turning 30 last week, I’ve been reflecting on the most pivotal lessons I've taken away from my 20's. From trusting your intuition and defining success on your own terms to embracing change and realizing no one actually has it all figured out, this episode is packed with everything I wish I knew (if I could do it all over again). Whether you’re navigating your own quarter-life awakening or just looking for some insight, this one’s for you.


We cover:

  • Why trusting your intuition will change everything
  • The mindset shift that will stop fear from holding you back
  • The biggest financial lesson I wish I learned at 20
  • Why you’re allowed to change—and why you should
  • The truth about success (and who gets to define it)

36| Making Business Human: Embracing Being Sucky and Leading From Your Real Life & Personality with Chelsea Riffe

Nowadays it seems the playbook rules for how to 'do business' are getting more and more prescriptive and rigid.

With cookie cutter offers, constant noise of the 'ultimate strategy you need NOW' and advice coming from all sides, building a business or project you love can go from an exciting passion-filled prospect to feeling overwhelming, stressful and even unfulfilling. We've made it all about strategy & hustle and in the process lost a lot of what used to make it feel human.

In today's episode Im joined by Chelsea Riffe, a master podcast strategist & mentor, host of the podcast In My Non-Expert Opinion, and female solo-travelling digital nomad, as well as being my own former podcast mentor. Chelsea knows a thing or two (jk a LOT) about whats it's like to get caught in the trap of the 'one size fits all' mentality, and has worked to create a life where her business fits around her LIFE - not the other way around. We dig into why bringing humanness, play, and fun into your business is essential to longterm sustainability and how embracing your 'suckiness' might just be the key to moving faster than you thought possible.

Chelsea is someone who's mastered leading life from her one-of-a-kind personality and utilizes that superpower, along with her real life and travel experiences, to connect with her audience and clients on a deeply human and authentic level.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How every opportunity feels fair game when you're travelling
  • Growing into a new identity and outgrowing your former environments
  • Learning how to grow one step at a time v.s. all at once
  • ‘Embracing your suckiness’ & enjoying being a beginner
  • Bringing back ‘Being Human’ in our businesses
  • Expressing your personality beyond a single ‘niche’
  • Letting your LIFE take priority (and not just your business)
  • Becoming a ‘Video Game Character’: using archetypes to embody new energies ✨🎮

34| Should I Choose the "Safe Job" or the One That Makes Me Happy?: Why the Idea of the Safe Job is a Myth

"To be safe or not to be safe, that is the question"

Im sure many of you have asked yourself this kind of question before - or hell, maybe you're at a crossroads and wondering it right now. We ALL struggle with knowing what to do when our heads are telling us to pick the 'safe route' but our hearts are calling us to something different. Well today, Im going to help you out of that indecision because Im breaking down why the WHOLE idea of the "safe job" that we were told to aspire for all our lives is a complete myth. You heard me. In this episode Im breaking down the reasons we were led to believe it in the first place, how this belief can get us stuck, but most importantly how you can shift your perspective in order to follow what will truly make you happy. Youre going to want to tune in to this one!


In this episode I cover:

  • Why we all believe in the 'safe job' myth
  • When we learned to ignore our inner guidance
  • Fitting into the mould around us
  • Why we shy away from doing things differently
  • The pressures to appease the system
  • How to guarantee your own success
  • The illusion of safety
  • Finding freedom from this belief

+ so much more!
