This episode is a full-circle reflection on one of the most enlightening friendships of my life — a story of missed birthdays, missed weddings, unspoken judgments, and unexpected grace.

What do we do when someone we love stops walking beside us? How do we process subtle betrayals and growing distance without making the other person wrong?

In this episode, I share the private moments that shaped this friendship — including a quiet act of vengeance, the tension of feeling judged, and the birthday text that closed the loop. If you’ve ever outgrown someone you love or wrestled with guilt about needing space, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Virak—a brilliant photographer, entrepreneur, and creative visionary—who recently made the bold decision to close his photo shop to pursue new passions.

We talk about what it really takes to evolve as an entrepreneur, the emotional weight of walking away from something you've built, and how to trust the pull of something greater—even when it’s uncertain. Virak shares his journey through photography, the highs and lows of running a business, and what he's learned about resilience, reinvention, and staying true to your creative calling.

Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or simply someone standing at a crossroads, this conversation will give you the insight (and courage) to zoom out and realign with your purpose.

🎧 Tune in for real talk, big shifts, and a reminder that sometimes the best way forward... is to let go.

In this episode, we’re talking about a universal truth—disappointment hurts. Whether it’s a breakup, a job you didn’t get, or just life not going the way you planned, that sting is real. But it doesn’t have to break you.

Join me as we unpack the science and soul of disappointment:

• Why it affects you so deeply (hint: it’s not just about what happened)
• What Brené Brown, Ellen Langer, and even Ben Franklin have to say about bouncing back
• A 5-step blueprint to help you shift from spiraling to standing tall again
• How to feel your feelings without letting them run your life
• And how every “no” might just be a redirection—not a rejection

This episode is a permission slip to feel, reflect, and rebuild—on your own terms. If you’ve been knocked down by life lately, this is your invitation to get back up with clarity, courage, and compassion.

What if the disappointment you're feeling isn't the end—but the exact moment your comeback begins?
