Hello, lovely listeners!

Today I'm talking about technology, or more like anti-technology. I take you through an article I read on Friction-Maxxing (⁠which you can read here⁠), along with some YouTube Videos I watched about how being chronocially offline is the new cool (⁠watch here⁠) and how we no longer have hobbies for pleasure (⁠watch here⁠).

I also talk about how I no longer want to contribute to brain rot by creating short-form content and will therefore be focusing on long-form content, i.e. YouTube and Substack, especially slow content, which I definitely didn't coin but am pretending I invented. I define slow content as content on social media that motivates or gives the audience permission to unplug from social media through embracing boredom or reading. I'm going to infiltrate the system from the inside!!

Anyways, I hope after listening to this, you think about your relationship with technology!

The year is just beginning, and I've found myself gravitating towards childhood joys. From buying a Barbie phone to creating a 2026 bingo board filled with fun adventures for my inner child to delight in.

I discuss the possibility of how, in becoming more authentic, I am returning to my childhood interests like photography.

Life is just too short to be serious all the time, and we need to learn how to play (outside of screens).

I hope this podcast leaves you reflecting on what you enjoyed as a child and inspired to find ways to connect to your inner child.

This is my first podcast of 2026 and also the first time recording with my new microphone and camera, so I hope you enjoy.

It's the new year! and I'm sick as a dog :(

But I pulled out what I call a "personal podcast" which I recorded last summer. Basically, it was back when I had a dream of having my own podcast, but felt like I was stuck creating for external validation, so I recorded some "personal podcasts" that I wasn't planning on sharing with anyone. But alas, here I am. ;D

In this episode, I talk about seeing who I want to become and feeling frustrated by not being able to be her now. Embodiment takes time. I talk about what this "future role model self" looks like, what I envision her to be interested in, what qualities she has. I also touch on my vision for a creative portfolio career and leading by example.

Hope you enjoy!
