Your twenties are weird, beautiful, confusing, electric, exhausting. Lost & Found is a podcast for anyone stumbling their way through this decade, one lesson (and existential crisis) at a time.
Hosted by writer and wanderer Karmen Wiid (https://karmenwiid.com/), this space is all about solo travel, self-growth, relationships, creativity, and the messy magic of becoming who you’re meant to be. From digital nomad life to heartbreak, identity shifts to spontaneous reinventions, we talk about it all, honestly and unfiltered.
Whether you’re chasing a fresh start, healing your heart, or just trying to feel a little less alone in the world, you’re in the right place.
New episodes every Thursday. Listen on any podcast platform or watch on YouTube. (https://www.youtube.com/@karmenwiid)
Come as you are.
In this episode, we explore identity in the age of aesthetics, algorithms, personal branding, and late-stage capitalism.
From clean girl culture and curated online selves to Socrates, Marx, bell hooks, Kierkegaard, this is a conversation about who we become when we are constantly perceived.

Wanting vs Being Wanted: Why Does Female Desire Still Make People Uncomfortable?
Bridgerton, Fifty Shades of Grey, the new adaptation of Wuthering Heights… oof are we getting into it.
On the surface, it looks like we’re living in a moment where female desire is more visible than ever. But are we actually getting closer to understanding it… or have we just found new ways to package it?
In this episode, we take a journey through the strange, complicated history of female desire, from sirens and witches to corsets, hysteria diagnoses, and Hollywood censorship.
At the heart of it all is one question: What happens when women stop being the object of desire, and become the subject of it?

The Unlikely True Story of How I Ended Up Living on a Sailboat
A few weeks ago, I got on a boat with a stranger from the internet and somehow ended up living on a sailboat in one of the most remote parts of Indonesia. There were storms, there was a diabetic captain, a near-emergency evacuation, and a stretch of days where we were completely alone on the ocean with no fresh water and no working toilet.
Naturally, I wrote about it.
What started as a simple Substack post turned into a 10,000-word, three-part story that I couldn’t stop writing. And instead of trying to summarise it, I decided to do something different for this episode…
I’m reading it to you. Settle in, this one's a wild ride.
