Ever heard someone say everything used to be better? In this episode, I’m challenging that idea. From stock market access to freedom of speech, we have more opportunities than ever before. As a woman, I reflect on how lucky I am to live today — where I can choose how to live, love, work, and invest. It’s not perfect, but it’s progress. Let’s put things into perspective.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my honest confession: I am a complete sleep enthusiast — or, as I joke, a sleep nerd. I talk about why sleep matters more to me than nights out, how I’ve built my perfect sleep routine (blackout curtains, earplugs, eye masks, and all), and how prioritizing rest has shaped my health, mood, and even my financial goals. I also reflect on how sometimes protecting your needs means saying no to plans — and that’s completely okay. If you’ve ever felt guilty for choosing an early night over a party, this episode will make you feel seen. Let's dive into why investing in your sleep might just be one of the best investments you’ll ever make.

Is money really the root of all evil — or is that just an old belief we never questioned? In this episode, I explore how our childhood experiences shape our money mindset and how those hidden beliefs might be quietly sabotaging our financial goals. I reflect on a surprising comment from a colleague, the deeper meaning behind our discomfort with wealth, and why rewriting your money story can be the first step to building a life you actually want.

In today’s episode, I share some reflections inspired by the book Die With Zero by Bill Perkins — and how it completely changed the way I think about money, investing, and life.

Instead of regretting not investing in my 20s, I now see those years as a gift: a time when I invested in travel, experiences, and building “memory dividends” that are still paying off today.

I also talk about how I now view life as a series of mini-retirements, and why balancing time, money, and energy is more important to me than saving everything for a distant future.

Join me for this personal reflection, and maybe rethink how you want to invest — not just in stocks, but in your own life.

In this episode, I share a more honest reason I invest: not just to retire early, but to create options.

Financial freedom isn’t about never working again—it’s about never having to do work that drains your soul just to pay rent. It’s the freedom to walk away from jobs that don’t align, to switch careers, to take a sabbatical, or to chase something that feels more like you.

I talk about:

• What “optionality” really means in day-to-day life
• Why you should still invest even if you love your job
• How money gave me the ability to move countries, take risks, and walk away from misaligned paths
• Why even small amounts matter—and how inflation and shaky pensions are real risks we need to face

Whether you’re all in on FIRE or just want to feel less stuck, this episode is a reminder that money is more than just money—it’s about dignity, space, and freedom.

I didn’t have the easiest childhood—violence, instability, substance abuse. But I’m not here to unpack it. I’m here to say: it happened, and I chose not to let it define me.

In this episode, I talk about why I don’t lead with my trauma, how I process what happened without making it my identity, and why the victim mindset—though tempting—isn’t where I want to live. The past is my raw material, not my full story.

If you’ve had a tough start too, this one’s for you. Not for pity, but for power. For direction. For choosing forward.

In today's episode, I reflect on how no-spend days became a quiet but powerful part of my FIRE journey. Working over 60 hours this week made me realize again how these simple, intentional days — when I cycle to work, bring my own lunch, and avoid unnecessary spending — are buying back my future freedom. I talk about how these habits are not about being cheap, but about being free — and how they’re helping me build towards a mini-retirement in just a few years. If you’re on a journey to more time, freedom, and peace, this episode is for you.
