This podcast is literally just me and my phone. Raw conversations, unedited and unfiltered. Think of it like a voice note from your bestie - where I share my thoughts, lessons, wins, fails, and all the random tea from my journey as a content creator and in life.
I will chat with you every Tuesday and Thursday. Might do another week in the day but we will see. Not gonna over commit. You know what I'm like.

In this episode I talk about how I landed my first hotel collaboration. I honestly believe its because of my energy. When I proposed to the hotel I was confident and I KNOW I am worthy of it.
I'm telling you this Colombia trip that I have been planning has taught me so much about myself and life!

It's GOOD to be CRAZY!
They called us crazy… and they were right 😏
This episode is a raw, unfiltered voice note between me and my best friend, talking about all the times people said we were crazy for doing whatever it is we wanted to do (Whether that was trusting our gut, taking risks, and following dreams that didn’t make sense to anyone else.) Every single time, that “crazy” decision led to something amazing.
If you’ve ever been called crazy for chasing your dreams, this episode will remind you that being bold, intuitive, and a little wild is actually your superpower 💭🔥

I am going to COLOMBIA!
It’s official - I’m going to Colombia 🇨🇴✨
In this episode, I’m sharing the journey behind how I’ve been shamelessly pitching to brands to get there for free. Why? Because I wanted a challenge. Not everyone understood it and that’s okay. This one’s not about proving anything to anyone. It’s about doing something that pushes me, stretches me, and makes me bolder than ever.
Sometimes, you don’t need people to get your vision. You just need to trust that it’s yours for a reason. 💭🔥

Don’t Shrink Your Dreams Just Because Your Friends Don’t Get It
Your circle doesn’t always see your vision — and that’s okay. Noah was out here building an ark in the middle of nowhere, and people thought he was crazy… until the flood came 🌊.
In this episode, I’m talking about why you can’t let the small opinions of a few people stop you from chasing your big dream. There are 8 billion people out there — your tribe will find you. Keep building your ark, even if no one around you understands it yet. 🚢✨

5 Things I’d Never Do Again as a Content Creator
If I could go back and start my content creator journey all over again, there are a few things I’d do very differently 👀. In this episode I’m sharing the mistakes I made (like dropping 3k on branding I didn’t need, outsourcing my socials, and doing things I thought I should do) and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
This is the raw truth about what it really takes to grow as a creator: consistency, not comparison, and staying true to yourself above all else.

I Manifested my Stay at the Four Season Hotel!
I said I wanted to dance on stage for a celeb at least once in my life… and then boom, out of nowhere, I end up dancing for a Dominican rapper, CHIMBALA!! Manifestation really said, “here you go babe.”
And then, when work told me I couldn’t stay at the Four Seasons anymore because it was “too expensive”… I REFUSED to accept that was my reality. Next thing you know, I’m checking into the Four Seasons in Mumbai like it was meant to be 🥂✨
In this episode I’m spilling two manifestation stories that prove when you refuse to dim your vision, the universe really does deliver.

The Embarrassing Story About my Legs
This episode is about two traumatic incidents I had that led me to hate my legs. I used to be so insecure about my legs because in Asia my legs are considered huge and in the West they are slim.
Anyways, if you resonate and enjoyed this please like and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

You Don't Ask You Don't Get
In life, if you don’t ask, you don’t get. Period. Worst case? They ignore me. Best case? I’m flying first class to Colombia. So… why wouldn’t I ask?!
In this episode I talk about being audacious in life

I Went University For My Parents
Most asian kids went to university for their parents not for themselves. I was one of them. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret it because I definitely developed lots of transferable skills from it. But most of the things I did in my life was because my parents wanted me to do it. It's only the last 2-3 years I stopped attaching my worth to my achievements and doing stuff for me!

I Don't Need People To Understand My Vision!
In this episode, I got a bit emotional. 🫣 😅 Didn't expect it. I talk about having a dream/ vision and to make it happen is to have SELF BELIEF and not caring about other people whether they believe in it or not. People will always have opinion, SO JUST DO YOU!

POV: You’re the Eldest Daughter so you’re expected to do everything.
If you're the eldest daughter in your family I'm sure will be resonate with this. Especially if you have immigrant parents. Translating utility bills and that from the age of 8 years old and being the second mum in the house.
Feel free to share your experience in the comments. I would love to read about it.
Btw you can buy me a coffee. Thank you and love you!

People Doubting Me
So many people are like, ‘Why are you pitching? No brand’s gonna sponsor you, you don’t have a big following.’ But guess what? That’s exactly why I’m doing it STOOPID!!
This episode I talk about how people doubting is actually giving me the motivation to get this solo trip to Colombia sponsored. The reason why I am doing this!

The Self Doubt Voice
Sometimes I hear that voice saying: ‘Just book the damn trip. Why are you creating all this hype?’ Because I am documenting the journey of becoming a travel content creator.
In this episode I talk about the self doubt voice I have and my journey as a content creator.

POV: Your foot got run over by a truck cuz you were twerking next to it
First episode and I already got a story for you. In this episode, I talk about the last time I went Notting Hill Carnival. Either I'm getting old for it or I got PTSD so that's why I haven't been.
