This conversation explores falling into aviation, and learning to stay present when nothing makes sense yet.

P.S. Consider this your permission slip to not know a single thing.

What happens when you chase success, find it, and realise it doesn’t feel like freedom?

You get Pia, a Sydney-based consultant turned wellness coach, who’s traded the corporate climb for something slower, softer, and more intentional.

In this episode, we unpack what it means to leave the traditional path for freedom, to rebuild identity after burnout, and to find success in the mess of change.

P.S. If you’ve ever looked “successful” on paper but secretly wanted to burn it all down for something more honest… this one’s your permission slip.

You get Oli, a Personal Trainer who helps neurodivergent folks find safety and strength through movement.

P.S. If you’ve ever cried mid-workout and called it “sweat,” this one’s for you.

What happens when you lose your sense of purpose?
This episode is about what no one tells you when the striving stops. When you’ve built a beautiful, full life… and still feel empty.

I talk about ego death, the grief of not being productive, and my attempt to rebuild purpose when there’s no “next step.” It's a little rambly, very congested (nose), and extremely honest.

P.S. This one’s for the overachievers, the floaters, the in-betweeners or anyone trying to find aliveness beyond doing.

What happens when your co-founder is also your life partner?

You get Andsoforth, Singapore’s longest-running andaward-winning immersive dining company, dreamed up by Emily and Stu.

In this episode, we talk about creative inspiration, navigating people (and egos), and what it really means to let the universe steer the ship. Also, yes, I asked if they’d actually recommend working with your partner.

P.S. They compare their lives to One Piece. So obviously, this episode is an odyssey.

What happens when a hospitality company suddenly shuts its doors?

You get Tom Hogan and Bobby Carey founding Studio Ryecroft; a creative studio dedicated to building hospitality concepts that last and belong to local culture.

In this episode, we talk about navigating the chaos of closure, building a business from scratch, and the highs and lows of this journey.

P.S. No tea, no shade. Just facts and lived experiences. Don't come after us @ lawyers / leadership team.

What happens when queerness becomes the lens you travel through?

In this episode, I talk with Giap about moving across the globe, using dating and connection as a way to explore culture. And what it means to come back home to Vietnam to rediscover his own roots.

P.S./T.W.: We talk depression and passive suicidal thoughts, and we promise we are okay-ish.

What happens when you leave the highly revered path and choose freedom instead?

You get Kim who went from breaking the “med school bond” to creating her own little community rituals like Touch Grass.

In this episode, we talk about chasing freedom over prestige, building third spaces, and finding joy in the small, grounding moments that remind you life doesn’t have to be “by the book.”
