In this episode, I dive into Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson — a book that uses four color-coded personality types to explain why people behave and communicate so differently. Reds, Yellows, Greens, and Blues each bring unique strengths and challenges, and while no one fits neatly into a single color, understanding these blends can completely shift how we navigate relationships and workplaces.

I share how the book can help you read people better, adapt your communication style, and build stronger connections — whether with friends, partners, or colleagues as you move up the corporate ladder.

While I rate the book a 7/10 for being a bit theory-heavy and sometimes tricky to apply, I believe even taking 60% of its lessons can transform the way you approach interpersonal dynamics.

If you’ve ever felt “surrounded by idiots,” this episode might just show you that you’re actually surrounded by different perspectives worth understanding.

In this episode, I sit down with Vartika to explore the profound themes in "The Liberation of Sita" by Volga. We delve into the journey of self-discovery and empowerment as portrayed through Sita's encounters with other women in the forest. Vartika shares her insights on how this book transcends gender, offering lessons in self-reflection and quiet revolution. Whether you're seeking inspiration or a fresh perspective beyond traditional self-help books, this conversation promises to leave you inspired. Join us for an enlightening discussion that bridges generational gaps and celebrates the essence of liberation.

Welcome to the final episode in our mini-series on Ali Hazelwood’s STEMinist novellas! Today, we’re diving into Below Zero, the story of Hannah, an aerospace engineer stranded in the Arctic, and Ian, the man from her past who shows up to save her.

I talk about the book’s unique structure, the emotional slow-burn romance, and why Hazelwood’s portrayal of women in STEM feels so natural. This one is soft, scientific, and surprisingly comforting — perfect for when you want something light but meaningful.
