Episode Stop Waiting to Be Ready: Time, Risk & Doing Hard Things in Your 30s | Life in Progress Podcast

0:00 39:45

What started as a casual travel update turned into one of my most honest episodes yet: why I don't think we need a "reason" to do the things we love, how losing my dad at 13 reshaped my entire relationship with time, and why I believe today's self-awareness culture might be quietly turning into a cage instead of a tool for freedom.

I get into the neuroscience of habit and comfort, unpack the risky-but-necessary math behind "adulting" in your 30s, and get vulnerable about the parts of my identity I've had to unlearn from being too guarded with my trust to trying to fix everyone around me. If you've ever needed permission to stop overthinking and start doing, this episode is for you.
