Are you constantly saying “yes” when you want to say “no”? Do you feel like you're never quite “enough” no matter how hard you try? If so, you're not alone—and this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the hidden pressures of people-pleasing and perfectionism, the silent habits that keep so many people stuck, burnt out, and disconnected from who they truly are.

You'll hear:

• Where these patterns come from

• How to start saying no without guilt
• Why being kind isn’t the same as pleasing people
• The emotional and physical cost of always trying to “get it right”

This episode is your permission slip to stop performing and start living. It’s time to let go of who you think you should be—and finally embrace who you really are.

In this enlightening episode, we’re joined by The Awakened One, Thich Dieu Thien, founder and spiritual leader of the Universal Door Meditation Center.

Since her awakening in 2001, she has devoted her life to guiding others toward liberation from suffering and the realization of their true essence.

Through profound yet accessible wisdom, she explains how most of us operate from the “born mind” — shaped by conditioning, ego, and past experiences, and how awakening to the “unborn mind” can reconnect us with our true nature, peace, and purpose.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What the Born Mind and Unborn Mind really are
• Why awakening is not an achievement, but a return
• How to recognize the root of suffering in daily life
• Practical tools to begin shifting out of mental noise
• What it truly means to live with clarity and compassion

This conversation offers a direct, powerful invitation to see beyond the surface of the self — and into the mind that was never born.

Are you a solo traveler, or are you someone who can’t even eat dinner alone?

Wherever you fall on that spectrum, this episode will challenge how you think about solitude, connection, and the freedom that comes from going it alone.

Today, we sit down with Tsvety Rousseva, a digital nomad and former NYC agency pro who walked away from the conventional path to embrace a minimalist lifestyle and explore the world—solo.

Over the past two years, she’s lived in 22 countries, visited 37 destinations, and discovered something unexpected: being alone doesn’t mean being lonely.

Together, we explore:

• The difference between loneliness and solitude
• Why solo travel can lead to deeper human connection
• How to find emotional clarity and inner peace on the road
• Letting go of societal expectations to create a life of meaning
• The unexpected ways travel can heal and transform you

If you’ve ever felt lonely, isolated, or like you’re meant for something more, this episode will light a fire within you to explore—both the world and yourself.
