About this listen

Mind Over Matter is a conversational podcast that explores the psychology, beliefs, and thought patterns behind everyday experiences.

It’s about unpacking why we see life the way we do, why we behave in certain ways, and how our mindsets shape our approach to life’s biggest and smallest moments.

The tone is reflective, relatable, and thought-provoking — creating space for meaningful conversations that go beyond surface-level chat.

  • EPISODE 8 | Adult Friendships - Growing Together (and Sometimes Apart)
    Nov 13 2025

    Some friendships fade quietly—no drama, no big fallout—just change. One day, you realize the calls are fewer, the connection feels different, and what once felt effortless now takes intention.

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the evolution of adult friendships—why they shift, what it means to outgrow people we once called home, and how to navigate those changes with grace instead of guilt.

    We explore the psychology behind friendship in adulthood—why our social circles shrink, how life stages reshape our connections, and why it’s okay to grieve friendships that no longer fit.

    You’ll hear about:

    • Why adult friendships fade (and why that’s normal)
    • The emotional energy it takes to maintain connection
    • The grief of losing friendships—and the growth that follows
    • How to nurture relationships that feel aligned with who you’re becoming

    Because maybe outgrowing friendships isn’t a sign of failure—it’s proof that you’re still growing.

    Not every friendship is meant to last forever. Some are meant to shape who you are—before releasing you into who you’re becoming.

  • EPISODE 7 | Adulting unpacked - Becoming an Adult (whatever that means)
    Oct 30 2025

    Bills, responsibilities, decisions that never seem to end — and that quiet pressure to have it all figured out by now. Let’s be honest — no one really prepared us for this part of life.

    Adulting sounded like freedom when we were younger, but in reality? It’s a constant balancing act between survival and purpose. Between being responsible and still trying to stay true to who you are.

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the real side of adulthood — the mental load, the expectations, the loneliness that sometimes creeps in, and the hidden grace that carries us through it.

  • EPISODE 6 | Burnout isn’t a badge of honour
    Oct 16 2025

    When and how did being soooo tired become something we wear with so much pride, when did it become so normal? and the issue is, it just never ends- it’s as if busyness equals value, and you’re doing something wrong when you rest

    In this episode, we’re getting honest about burnout — why we wear it like a badge of honour and “doing it all” became our default, and what it’s really costing us mentally, physically, and spiritually.

    We talk about the pressure to be “booked and busy’” and “booked and blessed”, the quiet pride in being “the one who holds it all together,” and the lie that our worth is tied to our output.

    We’ll also explore what it really means to rest — not as an afterthought, but as a rhythm God built into creation itself. Because sometimes, the most spiritual, powerful, and healing thing you can do… is slow down, rest and reset
