  • 1 Year of The Pulse: Lessons from Starting a Podcast
    Jun 21 2026

    What you’ll learn:

    • The raw, unfiltered lessons from launching and running a podcast for a year—while balancing a full-time job, life, and a dog who demands cuddles.

    • Why perfectionism kills progress (and how to embrace the "80% rule" for your side hustle).

    • How to build a sustainable routine, set boundaries, and avoid burnout when juggling multiple priorities.


    Why it matters:
    Starting a side hustle (like a podcast) is hard—especially when you’re your own editor, producer, and marketer. This episode is a love letter to anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, imperfect, or unsure if their passion project is "worth it." Spoiler: It is.


    CTA:
    Tag a friend who’s thinking of starting a side hustle but hasn’t hit "record" yet! 🎙️✨


    Timestamps:

    • 02:15 – The reality of recording 36 episodes in a year (and why consistency > perfection).

    • 08:45 – How to fit a side hustle into a busy life (without losing your mind).

    • 15:30 – The "80% rule" and why your audience doesn’t care about your pauses or dog barks.

    • 20:00 – Why taking breaks is part of the hustle (and how to do it guilt-free).

  • Why Multilingualism is a Superpower (And How to Learn Any Language)
    May 24 2026

    🌍 What You’ll Learn:

    • The surprising emotional and cognitive benefits of multilingualism (hint: it rewires your brain!).

    • Practical tips to learn a language without the pressure of perfection, from music to TV to embracing mistakes.

    • How cultural nuances (like German email etiquette or French numbers) can trip you up and why that’s okay.


    💡 Why It Matters:
    Multilingualism isn’t just about communication; it’s about connection, identity, and opening doors, whether in work, travel, or personal growth. Ije, a computational linguist, shares her journey from Igbo to Arabic (and the hilarious mistakes along the way).

    • 12:45 – The #1 mistake even polyglots make (and how to avoid it).

    • 28:10 – How languages change your personality (yes, really!).

    • 42:30 – The truth about accents: Stop trying to lose yours!

    • 50:00 – Why kids are language sponges (and what adults can learn from them).
