In this episode, I talk about the importance of letting go of control — especially during seasons when life feels overwhelming and unpredictable. As December gets busier with deadlines, finals, and expectations, I reflect on why we try so hard to control outcomes, and how exhausting that can be.

I share personal experiences about surrendering plans, trusting timing, and giving my best while leaving the rest in God’s hands. From school pressures to moments that didn’t go as planned, this episode is a reminder that peace doesn’t come from controlling everything — it comes from learning to let go.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired, or anxious about things you can’t control, this episode is for you.

In this pre-birthday episode, I talk about the strange in-between space of growing up — that feeling of being not old, but not young either. I reflect on what getting older means to me, how birthdays feel different as an adult, and why slowing down before entering a new age matters more than we think.

I also share the cultural differences between celebrating birthdays in Indonesia vs. the U.S., my Sweet 17 experience, and the hilarious confusion around who pays the bill here. And of course, I talk about the pressure of being 24, the unrealistic expectations placed on young adults, and how everyone’s timeline is different.

This episode is a warm diary-style conversation about aging, nostalgia, cultural identity, and embracing the messy but beautiful process of becoming yourself.
