Mind Shed is a quiet space to think out loud.
It’s where I store ideas, questions, doubts, and lessons as they come — and where I slowly shed layers of my own thinking.
This podcast is also a form of documentation: a record of my personal journey as I grow, experiment, change my mind, and progress over time.
I explore money, financial independence (FIRE), mindset, habits, performance, and life design — not as an expert, but as someone genuinely trying to understand what leads to a calmer, freer, more intentional life.
Some episodes are reflections.
Others are experiments.
Many are unfinished thoughts.
If you enjoy honest conversations, thoughtful silence, and the process of figuring things out — welcome to the Shed.
In this episode I talk about how a simple portuguese saying has changed my perspective on hard work. It made it much more enjoyable and made me feel grateful to have the oppurtunity of working for my goals.

Episode 5 - Talk to yourself
In this episode I talk about how talking to yourself and the advantages of doing so. Talking stuff out loud that would otherwise just be silent in my head, has helped me greatly in making up my mind and having a clear vision.

Episode 4 - Real salary evalution
In this episode I talk about how we sould reevaluate our salary. It is not only the working hours that matter but all the time you need to spend related to work where you could otherwise enjoy your life and loved ones.
I bring a little bit of life experience but it is more about making you think about your own situation.

Episode 3 – Where focus goes, energy flows
In this episode, I talk about what happens when you focus on something. Mainly if it is something negative or that causes you harm in any way.
I share how this shows up in my own life.
This episode is about helping you figuring out if you have been stuck in a bad loop of focusing on things that make you unhappy.

Episode 2 – The Golden Cage
In this episode, I reflect on the idea of the golden cage — comfort, security, and stability that slowly turn into something restrictive.
I share how this shows up in my own life.
This episode isn’t about convincing anyone to make drastic changes, but about creating a moment of pause — and asking whether the “gold” is always worth the cage.

Episode 1 – Stuck Before Starting & the Images We Build
In this episode, I share a snapshot of where I am right now.
I reflect on what it feels like to get stuck before even starting — when preparation quietly turns into avoidance, and opportunities pass.
I also explore the idea of self-image: how the image we build of ourselves can help us move forward, keep us accountable, or slowly become something that weighs on us instead.
This isn’t a set of answers or advice — just an honest attempt to put words on things I am experiencing.

Episode 0: Introduction
Welcome to Mind Shed.
This short introductory episode is a way for me to open the door and explain what this podcast is — and what it isn’t.
Mind Shed is a personal space where I think out loud, store ideas, and slowly shed layers of my own thinking. It’s a form of documentation: a record of my journey as I grow, reflect, experiment, and change my mind over time.
This is not a podcast with experts giving polished advice.
There will be some rambling. Some free-flowing thoughts. Some unfinished ideas.
In this episode, I also share the main themes that interest me and that I’ll explore throughout the podcast.
If you’re looking for honesty, reflection, and a calm space to think alongside someone else — welcome to the shed.
