Big News (and a little confession): Yep, I'm still alive. I know it probably didn’t seem that way with how quiet I’ve been here on Facebook.

Over the past year, I realized I was juggling way too many platforms and offers, and honestly, it was just getting messy. Plus, some things weren’t as affordable as I wanted them to be. So, I hit reset and moved everything to one place, Patreon, where you'll get:

• Ad-free podcast episodes
• Exclusive Patreon-only content
• A supportive community
• Downloadable exercises
• And best of all, monthly private coaching with me

Since I’m focusing all my energy there, I’ll be winding down my posts here on Facebook. If you’re into meaningful content without the clutter, I hope to see you there:

Imagine this: you’ve been meaning to write a thank-you letter to Grandma. Sweet, sock-gifting Grandma. Those socks you didn’t ask for? Turns out they’re lifesavers in the winter. You’ve got the stationery, the festive envelope, even one of those jolly holiday stamps. But every time you sit down to write, an invisible wall stops you.

We’ve all heard it before: a steady job equals job security. But what if that belief is more illusion than truth? In this episode, I reflect on a conversation with a college friend who couldn’t fathom the uncertainty of entrepreneurship and how my journey taught me that true security doesn’t come from a paycheck.

Have you noticed something strange happening to your brain lately? Like all those hours scrolling through short-form videos are slowly turning you into a less intelligent version of yourself? It’s not just you. Oxford University Press named “brain rot” the dictionary word of the year, and its usage spiked 230% in 2024.

There’s a solution to some of life’s most complex problems so simple you might roll your eyes when I tell you. It’s what engineers use to build skyscrapers, surgeons to save lives, and pilots to fly an 80-ton hunk of metal through the sky. And it can supercharge your productivity too.

We’ve all been there — chasing happiness, thinking it’s just one more thing away. What if the more we chase happiness, the further it slips away? In this episode, I dive into the "Backwards Law" by Alan Watts and explore how our constant striving for happiness might be the very thing that prevents us from finding it.

We all hit slumps. Those days (or weeks) where motivation disappears, goals feel impossible, and life’s energy takes a coffee break without telling us. It’s normal. But staying in those lows longer than necessary is where things get tricky—and, yes, I’m guilty too.

The 40-hour workweek has been a cornerstone of modern labor for nearly a century, born in factory lines and immortalized in office cubicles. But in a world of smartphones, Zoom calls, and work-from-anywhere culture, does it still make sense? In this episode, I dive deep into the origins of the 9-to-5, why it has persisted for nearly a century, and how it’s failing today’s workforce.

If you’ve ever tried to build a habit and failed, you probably blamed yourself—too lazy, undisciplined, unmotivated. Truth is, it’s not you. It’s biology. We humans are notoriously bad at change. And that’s largely because our brains are stuck in caveman mode, prioritizing instant rewards over long-term goals.
