Ep. 1 — Have You Ever Felt Completely Lost?

Ep. 3 —6 Things I Had to Learn the Hard Way

This was the semester that gave me me back. From a lakeside engineering retreat to finally joining my dream rocket team, working retail, and taking a soul-resetting trip to Banff — this was my quiet comeback. But it came with lessons. Honest ones.  Here are 5 of the 6 that shaped that term: 1. Your environment will either shrink you — or awaken you. 2. Start before you’re sure. 3. There’s power in earning something. 4. Rest isn’t weakness — it’s a reset. 5. Boring is discipline. 6. (The last one… is the reason I made this episode. You’ll hear it.) If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself in silence — this one’s for you.  With love,  Ayaan Felt something?

Ep. 2 —Winter Didn’t Kill Me, But It Tried.

I came from 40°C sun to -30°C silence. In this episode, I open up about the semester that broke my body, blurred my mind, and introduced me to something I never expected in friendships — toxicity. It's not just my story, though. If you've ever felt disconnected in a crowd, emotionally cold in a room full of people, or like the drama around you wasn’t even yours to begin with… this one’s for you. I also introduce something new: a voice that isn’t mine. One that listens, reflects, and speaks when needed — not to guide, but to observe. Episode 2 isn’t about rising. It’s about staying afloat. And sometimes, that’s enough. 🎙️ New episodes weekly.📱 Instagram: @thekhanayaan Felt something?

Ep. 1 — Have You Ever Felt Completely Lost?

Back in school, I was the all-rounder.  Known for leading, creating, and being everywhere but the classroom — because I was always doing something. Then I moved to Canada.  I was excited. I made friends, settled into my dorm, and did well in classes. For a while, life looked good. But two months in, something shifted. I realized I didn’t feel like me. I had gone from being someone everyone knew… to someone I didn’t even recognize. This episode is about that quiet identity crisis — where you’re not falling apart, but you’re slowly fading from your own life. If you’ve ever felt lost, even when things seemed fine… This one's for you.   Felt something?
