HAPPY NEW YEAR. 2025 BABY. YES.

phew okay, had to get some of my excitement out my system but now that i'm here, spending time with you again, i can't help but feel this jumpy.

2024 has been the wildest journey i ever could've imagined and it's brought me to the lifestyle i've dreamed of for the last very many years. while i do want to recap 2024 and go over what the year looked like, i just want to welcome 2025 with open arms and start the year off strong with my goals, dreams, wishes, expectations and plans of action; who better to discuss it all with, than you?

i'm working hard to build the life i'm not only capable of, but the one i deserve and the fact that i've made it this far, has a lot to do with you so thank you, very much.

genuinely just reach out to have a conversation with me because i truly do want to build more connections, have more meaningful conversations, help more people and just talk.

always LISTENin,

WE KINDA PACKED OUR BAGS AND MOVED HALFWAY ACROSS THE WORLD *not clickbait*

hi ya'll, long time no see <3 and if you're new here, welcome to the LISTEN podcast!!

in this episode, i do not give excuses for my absence rather i VERY briefly update you on what life has looked like recently and this episode is pretty much an indication that i will be able to devote more time to LISTEN in coming days.

coming to you from a new location, with a fresh perspective, red hair and better mental health, i think it's safe to say that i am in an exciting new phase of my life and so is LISTEN!

never forget, my DMs are always open for you (@we_listenin on IG)!

always LISTENin,

i'm constantly 'trying to try'. this just means that i'm always making an effort towards myself and attempting to get better.

ill mental health is a common issue in today's world and the amount of times i record an episode regarding what's happening north of my eyebrows is proof of the same.

i genuinely encourage you to make an effort like i try to and to seek support from anyone in doing so. we're all meant to hold each other's hands through tough times and something i'm trying to learn is that there's no shame in asking for help.

keep vocalising what you're feeling - trust me, it makes a difference.

and ofc, my DMs are always open @we_listenin on IG.

finally got my camera working and im FINALLY done with boards and it's time for a (not so quick) rant about these tests and the education system as a part of my 'moving on'.

i will be trying to post more often and keep in touch more, lmk what you wanna talk ab and my DMs are always open @we_listenin (IG).

DONT SHOOT ME ik its been soooooo long overdue and for that, my sincerest apologies. pls bear w me as i try to gain some sort of comfort with recording and not shooting myself at the sound of my own voice or the inability to speak a coherent sentence.

and i ended up not editing this at all so enjoy this pure ball of nervous rambling.

the last many months have been extremely confusing and busy and im so glad im finally sitting down to talk to you. im also going to force myself to just upload because i think i need it for the sake of my mental health.

i will try to post more often for sure and talk about several different topics but i wanna know what you'd be interested in conversing about and as always, my DMs are always open for some chapad chapad (@we_listenin on IG).

this was recorded bright and early today morning and i wanted to post this today itself because it just proves the whole point i make in this episode - waking up early as a form of time management can really help you get work done and reduce your stresses.

while it's a short episode, its genuinely something that talks about a tiny chunk of the effort i've been taking to help myself both academically and emotionally.

i do want to keep posting often and i may post shorter episodes such as this one, let me know if you have any topic suggestions or questions you want to ask that i can talk about.

and of course, im there for you on IG, just DM @we_listenin.

in this episode i'm going to dissect why exactly i stopped posting for an extremely long period of time. what was it aside from 'life' that kept me away from something i so passionately started?

people say actions speak louder than words but sometimes words get amplified by their own silence. hidden under 'humour' and a 'light spirit', words leave a subconscious impact sometimes and you don't quite know what to do with that.

'easier said than done' also applies. its so much easier to pass comments than to be the one facing them.

join me as i talk about why it hurts to hear certain things in certain ways and why being mindful doesnt hurt anyone.

i'm going to post more regularly i promise but i want you to keep talking to me about things you'd like to discuss or any questions you have <3

you can always reach out to me @we_listenin (IG)

always LISTENin,

so i'm 17 now. wild, i know. it's not wild that i'm growing up, it's wild that i've made it this far and this is what my life looks like thanks to the people around me.

made it through 17 years on this planet all because i was able to gain love and support one way or another.

please give me a little leeway as i learn to operate my mic and lighting set up and get rid of my coughing.

stay tuned for a lot of new content coming your way and keep the topics, questions, suggestions coming in @we_listenin on IG.

always LISTENin,

mj <3
