What happens when a friend’s death sparks a mission to protect others?
You get Yuchen, who started Krav Maga as a student but turned it into a mission after the violent death of a close friend.

We talk about courage, grief, and why self-defense is more than just fighting. Plus, what sets Krav Maga apart from other martial arts.

P.S. Eye gouging, elbow smacking, and more ... this isn’t your usual martial arts chat.

What happens when you keep moving (city to city, country to country), hoping the next place will finally feel like enough?

You get Kamile, Ankara-rooted, now Dublin-based, still gently untangling what friendships and fulfillment look like across different time zones.

We muse about the soft ache of starting over again and again, friendships that shape us, emotional endurance, and how to sit with the question: What if I don’t want to keep moving, but I haven’t found “enough” yet either?

P.S. We promise we don’t have commitment issues. We’re just always in the pursuit of more.

What happens when you’re scared of death… and can’t stop thinking about it?

This episode is a dive into thanatophobia and how I accidentally wrote a death workbook trying to survive it.

The Final Gift is my attempt at making death a little less cold, clinical, or terrifying, and a little more human. Think: legacy questions, memory rituals, emotional prep, and a lot of crying (me, not you. Hopefully.)

Because I believe death awareness is love work. It’s protective. It’s sacred. And most of us avoid it until it’s too late.

P.S. This one’s full of f-bombs and Very Big Death Feels™. Trigger warning if you’re in a tender space.

What happens when you quit your job and build a tour company from scratch?

You get Melvyn, a founder who swapped office life for offbeat adventures across Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, and everywhere in between.

This isn’t your typical quit-your-job-and-hustle story. It’s gentler. Slower. Built on people, purpose, and the belief that you don’t have to know the end to start.

P.S. Follow the breadcrumbs. You might just end up in Georgia.

What happens when you move to Melbourne for a year... and accidentally stayed for five?

You get Rod, a Brazilian fitness coach who came to Melbourne on a whim and woke up five years later with a new city, a new self, and now, a new goodbye.

In this episode, we talk about chasing change, finding home in unexpected places, and how movement (literal and emotional) shaped the way he lives, coaches, and lets go.

P.S. This one’s for anyone who didn’t mean to stay, but kind of fell in love anyway.

What happens when you chase rejection...on purpose?

After years of perfectionism, fear, and waiting to feel “ready,” I’m done playing it safe. So I started #Project100Rejections, a self-assigned quest to get told “no” at least 100 times.

Let me unpack the weird highs and low lows of trying really hard and still feeling stuck. Why some small rejections feel empowering, why some wins still feel empty, and why the rejections that matter most hurt the hardest.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything and still waiting for life to say yes, this one’s for you.

What happens when you split your time between soil and science?

You get Jia, a self-proclaimed nepo baby who’s rewriting what inherited success can look like.

This episode is about supplements, soil, and turning the things you care about into the life you live. We talk about what it actually means to grow up in a family business, and how Jia’s made that path her own, worms, wellness, and all.

P.S. If you're supplement-curious or compost-curious, hit play.

What happens when you leave behind a stable job to explore urns, funerals, and the afterlife industry?

In this episode, I sit down with Kenneth who left the comforts of corporate life to dive into a world most of us avoid talking about: death.

But this isn’t a morbid story. From payrolls to columbariums, Kenneth’s journey reminds us that even endings can be beginnings, especially when we’re brave enough to listen.

P.S. This is your soft nudge: talk about death while you're still here.
