What happens when you leave the highly revered path and choose freedom instead?

You get Kim who went from breaking the “med school bond” to creating her own little community rituals like Touch Grass.

In this episode, we talk about chasing freedom over prestige, building third spaces, and finding joy in the small, grounding moments that remind you life doesn’t have to be “by the book.”

What happens when a friend’s death sparks a mission to protect others?
You get Yuchen, who started Krav Maga as a student but turned it into a mission after the violent death of a close friend.

We talk about courage, grief, and why self-defense is more than just fighting. Plus, what sets Krav Maga apart from other martial arts.

P.S. Eye gouging, elbow smacking, and more ... this isn’t your usual martial arts chat.

What happens when you keep moving (city to city, country to country), hoping the next place will finally feel like enough?

You get Kamile, Ankara-rooted, now Dublin-based, still gently untangling what friendships and fulfillment look like across different time zones.

We muse about the soft ache of starting over again and again, friendships that shape us, emotional endurance, and how to sit with the question: What if I don’t want to keep moving, but I haven’t found “enough” yet either?

P.S. We promise we don’t have commitment issues. We’re just always in the pursuit of more.
