  • Ep 271 It's OKAY to Change Your Mind
    May 8 2025

    Let's reflect on the quiet courage it takes to change your mind. Yup, you read it right. Especially when the path you're on no longer feels aligned. Whether it’s a goal, a job or a relationship, course-correcting isn’t failure, it’s feedback.

    A favourite parable brings home why true leadership lies in the willingness to pivot, especially in unpredictable times.

    This is a gentle but firm flourishing nudge for those of you holding on out of fear of seeming flaky or indecisive. I unpack why we introverts often cling to consistency even when it costs us dearly.

    'How do I let go' can be your most authentic, powerful question and decision yet. I promise, you are not betraying your past; instead you are honouring your evolution.

    ** Key Points **

    • Change shows deep thinking
    • Certainty is overrated
    • Quiet courage matters

  • Ep 270 The Confidence to Say Less
    May 1 2025

    Let us explore the often-overlooked power of silence, particularly in the context of introverted communication.

    Just how often so many around us assume that being verbose equates to value and influence; however, I share my perspective on how intentional quiet can actually be a profound demonstration of confidence.

    Introverts frequently face pressure to adopt extraverted behaviours just to blend in. It only leads to frustration and burnout. How about we celebrate our natural rhythm, often 'think, say, think' for we introverts, which I believe is the key.

    I unpack strategies that help reclaim confidence through measured silence.

    ** Key Points **

    • Embrace Natural Rhythm
    • Power Through Silence
    • Intentional Communication

  • Ep 269 Another Trip Around the Sun
    Apr 24 2025

    In this episode, I reflect on something personal, poignant, and increasingly precious: what it means to celebrate another birthday; not as a tally of years, but as an intentional pause to honour hindsight, insight, and foresight or as I call them - reflections.

    As someone who’s lost people far too soon, I simply can’t buy into the anti-ageing narrative. Ageing, to me, is a gift; one I intend to honour with gratitude, self-belief, and purpose. I share stories of those who nudged me out of the shadows, helped me peel back layers of self-doubt, and opened doors to a life that feels truly mine.

    With each trip around the sun, I grow more reflective. I’ve come to see that living on purpose doesn’t mean hustle; it means alignment. And celebrating your existence isn’t vanity, to me it is sacred.

    Let's live more fully, tread more softly, and refuse to let fear or comparison rob us of the life in our years. Shall we?

    ** Key Points **

    • Ageing is a gift, not a problem
    • Self-belief is layered, but lasting
    • Purpose is quiet, aligned, and powerful
