What does it mean to put yourself on a pedestal?

In this episode, I share what I learned from attending Limitless 2026 and my thoughts on why we tend to place others above ourselves. Beyond that, I also get into some of my current thoughts on the process of success, university grades, seeking approval, and making decisions based on what matters to you rather than what others expect.

The question I left you with: If you had nothing to prove to anyone, what would you do differently, and who would you choose to become?

This episode is entirely in French, in honour of Franco-Ontarian Day. I’m sharing what means to me, and how travelling, meeting new people, and hearing my accent through someone else’s ears have made me even prouder of my language and roots.

We’ll talk about franglais, finding little pieces of home abroad, and the beautiful connections a shared language can create. Whatever your roots are, I hope this episode reminds you to hold them close.

Aujourd’hui, je te parle d’une partie de moi qui me tient particulièrement à cœur. Je raconte comment les voyages, les rencontres et même quelques moments où mon accent n’a pas été compris m’ont fait réaliser à quel point je suis fière de ma langue et de mes racines.

On jase de franglais, du sentiment de retrouver un peu la maison à l’autre bout du monde, et de la beauté de pouvoir créer des liens grâce à une langue qu’on partage. J’espère que cet épisode te rappellera d’être fier ou fière de la culture et de la communauté qui t’ont façonné.

Passe une belle Journée!

Happiness is something you should learn to notice instead of trying to achieve it.

The good of your life depends on your willingness to notice it.

In this episode of The Self Project Podcast, I reflect on how an eventful year of travelling, change, and experiencing different ways of living has completely shifted my understanding of happiness.

We spend so much time believing life will feel better once we graduate, find our purpose, earn more money, reach our goals, or become a better version of ourselves. But when happiness is always attached to what comes next, we forget to appreciate what is already here.

This episode is about learning that you can be ambitious and still be grateful. You can want more for your future without hating your life right now. And being a work in progress doesn’t mean you’re incomplete.
