Welcome to the Clean Your Toilet Podcast - yes, that’s the actual name, and no, it’s not about porcelain (only).
This podcast is where we talk about the messes we pretend aren’t there — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Let’s clear some space (in every sense), starting with the place where you unload your biggest sh*t 💩, so you can finally make room for what actually matters in your life.
S12E06 What If You Gave Everything and Still Fail | Kerstin Ong & Daniel Yeow | The Price of Becoming
How much would you risk for a dream that might never pay off?
Singapore national hurdler Kerstin Ong left a stable corporate career to pursue athletics full-time: giving up her income, putting other life plans on hold and funding much of the journey herself.
And there’s still no guarantee she’ll make it.
Kerstin and Daniel Yeow, cofounder of The Social Space get candid about sacrifice, failure, self-doubt and what it takes to keep choosing something when the outcome remains uncertain.
Kerstin shares what it was like to spend 10 years trying to qualify for the SEA Games, nearly walk away from the sport, finally break the national record she had chased for years, and then feel lost when achieving it didn’t bring the fulfilment she expected.
Together, they explore what happens when you stop living by what looks sensible, admit what you really want, and give yourself permission to try.
Because perhaps the bigger risk isn’t failing.
It’s looking back and wondering what might have happened if you had tried.

S12E05 Do First Think Later | Munah Bagharib & Daniel Yeow | The Price of Becoming
Do you really need to have it all figured out before you begin?Munah Bagharib, Actress, Host & Content Creator, and Daniel Yeow, cofounder of The Social Space sit down for an honest conversation about uncertainty, finding meaningful work, taking risks and discovering who you are through the choices you make.Munah reflects on 17 years of becoming: from two kids making YouTube videos with no real direction, to building a career across content, acting and hosting. Along the way, she almost gave it all up for a 9-to-5, kept stepping into things she wasn’t ready for, and learnt that clarity often comes from trying, failing and figuring things out as you go.Together, they explore what it means to trust the process, do things that make you uncomfortable, ask for help and keep moving even when you don’t know exactly where you’re headed.Because sometimes you don’t find clarity before you begin.You begin, and clarity finds you along the way.🎙️ About the PodcastThe Clean Your Toilet Podcast explores the inner work behind identity, leadership, mastery, creativity and building a meaningful life through honest, unfiltered conversations.What would you start if you didn’t need to have it all figured out first?⏱️ Chapters00:00 You Don’t Need to Have It Figured Out00:45 Meet Munah Bagharib & Daniel Yeow04:51 Stepping Into Something Before You’re Ready06:10 Two Kids With a Camera08:25 When Comedy Became Something More13:20 Why Munah Keeps Doing This After 17 Years16:49 The Moment She Almost Gave It All Up17:04 Trying a 9-to-5 — For Less Than a Week19:34 From YouTuber to Actor & Host22:29 Finding Work That Actually Means Something29:39 Building a Voice People Trust32:58 When Who You Are Becomes Part of the Work42:01 You Can’t Hide Who You Really Are48:23 What Did Munah Have to Leave Behind?49:08 Becoming Without Losing Yourself51:26 Why Meaningful Things Take Time54:12 Do You Need Clarity Before You Begin?55:54 Finding Clarity Through Making Mistakes58:12 Do First, Think Later59:29 Keep Doing Things You’re Bad At1:01:41 Learning to Ask for Help1:04:18 Don’t Let Fear Stop You1:05:16 Do First.

S12E04 When Doing Good Gets Hard | Raye Padit & Daniel Yeow | The Price of Becoming
What happens when the work you believe in starts costing you more than you expected?Raye Padit, founder of The Fashion Pulpit, and Daniel Yeow, founder of The Social Space, have spent the last eight years building businesses around something bigger than profit.But purpose doesn’t make the struggle disappear.In this episode of The Price of Becoming, Raye and Daniel get candid about the hidden cost of building something that matters — the sacrifices, financial pressures, personal toll, moments of resentment, and the times they wondered whether it was still worth continuing.Daniel shares what it means to run a business built around inclusive employment — including being there when a team member calls at 2am, carrying responsibilities that go far beyond a conventional employer-employee relationship, and learning that doing good still needs a sustainable business model.Raye opens up about almost raising the white flag when The Fashion Pulpit lost its space, only to discover just how much the community valued what they had built.Together, they explore a question many purpose-driven founders eventually face:Is purpose enough to keep you going when the cost becomes too high?And perhaps an equally important one:When we are constantly chasing what’s next, do we ever stop long enough to recognize what we’ve already built?Sometimes the price of becoming isn’t only what you have to give up.It’s also what you choose to carry.🎙️ About the PodcastClean Your Toilet is a podcast about the conversations we often avoid — the messy, uncomfortable and deeply human parts of becoming who we are.In The Price of Becoming, we go behind the achievements, titles and public identities to explore what it actually costs to build a life, career or body of work that matters.What have you had to carry in order to build something you believe in?Tell us in the comments.⏱️ Chapters00:00 Is Purpose Enough?00:53 The Price of Becoming03:13 What Raye Had to Sacrifice04:43 Leaving Home to Find Out What She Was Made Of09:25 The Moment Fashion Started to Feel Wrong12:45 Why Daniel Left Singapore Airlines16:50 Finding the Real “Why” Behind The Fashion Pulpit23:01 Training People to Be Good Enough to Leave25:32 The Cost of Doing Deeply Human Work29:13 Building Inclusive Employment Without a Blueprint32:26 When Purpose Becomes Unsustainable35:10 Raye’s “White Flag” Moment41:39 When the Weight of Expectations Grows42:28 Daniel Wonders Whether It’s Time to Quit45:47 Remember What You’ve Built49:00 Is Purpose Enough to Sustain a Business?51:03 Purpose vs Profit55:08 Stop Chasing the Next Version of Yourself58:42 What Are We Actually Running Towards?1:00:46 What Really Matters in the End#PurposeDriven #Entrepreneurship #socialentrepreneurship #socialimpact #sustainability #fashion #diversityandinclusion #personalgrowth #resilience #sacrifice #communitysupport #communitylove #fulfillment #innerwork #businessgrowth #CleanYourToiletPodcast #podcast #singapore
