  • What 5+ Years of OneUp Taught Me about Growth, Money & Purpose

    What 5+ Years of OneUp Taught Me about Growth, Money & Purpose
    Jun 23 2025
    After 5.5 years, 400 episodes, and a journey that started with a Kiwisaver convo during my PwC internship... I’m officially wrapping up The OneUp Project.

    This episode is a reflective goodbye — sharing the real reason I’m ending the pod, the unexpected lessons it taught me, and why pressing pause can be a power move. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just joined, this one’s from the heart. Thank you for growing with me 💛 🔑

    What we discussed:
    • Why I started The OneUp Project and how it shaped my 20s
    • Navigating creative burnout and knowing when it’s time to step away
    • Lessons that stuck from 5+ years of conversations with incredible humans
    • The mindset shifts that changed my life – financially, personally, and emotionally
    • Why trusting people, taking risks, and staying curious will take you further than anything else
    • Embracing uncertainty and letting go of the sunk cost fallacy
    • What’s next, and how I’m learning to live into this new season fully

    Breadcrumb 120 - The HUGE impact alcohol has on your sleep
    Jun 22 2025
    You will never look at alcohol the same after this... kidding - you will most likely have a drink after listening to this episode. But maybe you will also be better educated on how to mitigate the impacts this prevelant drug has on our everyday lives.

    In this episode, we dive into the mind-blowing science behind Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, this book changed how I view rest forever. Whether you're a night owl, burnout queen or just curious about how to get better zzz’s, this one's for you.

    At OneUp we believe in being curious and taking a little bit of value from everyone, so welcome to the breadcrumb series. Where we get bite sized amounts of previous episodes and can hear a new perspective.

    Breadcrumb 119 is from the episode - "Your Natural Superpower: The Science and Impact of Sleep"

  • 6 Bold Predictions for the Future of Tech, AI and Career

    6 Bold Predictions for the Future of Tech, AI and Career
    Jun 16 2025
    This one’s a little different. I’ve been sitting on some thoughts about where the world’s heading from one of the world's biggest brands possible downfall to the rise of AI influencers and why less might actually become the new luxury.

    Some of these takes might age terrible and others might just be spot on. Either way, it’s a fun, thought-provoking ride into the next decade!!

    What we discuss:
    • Why one of the worlds largest tech companies might lose its crown and who could take the throne
    • The shift from more to less — why minimalism might become premium again
    • How freelancing and contract work are becoming the new 9–5
    • How your personal brand is becoming your job application and how to work on it
    • The future of education — and why it may become deeply personal and more expensive
    • Meet your new marketing manager...
    • Some philosophical reflections on whether we’re headed in the right direction — or just surviving in a system that’s shifting too fast
