don't overthink it

giving up on purpose, why your latest failure is the biggest (with Taylan)

what if giving up was actually the right call? in this episode, i sit down with my friend Taylan to talk about failure and not the inspirational kind, but the kind that physically knocks you down. Taylan opens up about having to move back to Turkey after his visa fell through and the moment he realized he'd been pushing way past the point he should have stopped. we also get into identity and what happens to your sense of self when a chapter closes, why we romanticize "having it all figured out," and why your latest failure always feels like the biggest one. if you've ever stayed too long in something that wasn't working, or felt your body giving up before your mind did, this one's for you.

i thought 30 would fix everything (with irmsko)

this is the first time i have a guest on the podcast 🥺 my first guest is irmsko, a dear friend, turns out right now both of us are figuring out what turning 30 actually means, and we both wonder why it comes with this weird pressure to have your life together. we talk about the illusion of “one day,” and what happens when you realize… this is it. this is the life you were waiting for. the one day is today. somewhere in between, we end up talking about work, confidence, feeling like a fraud sometimes, needing space to hear your own thoughts again, and how easy it is to give your power away without even noticing. it’s a bit existential, but also soft. i don’t know if we figured anything out, but i liked this one a lot.
