Searching for myself podcast

My Life, My timeline: Owning my existence ft Kiki and Carlos

Millennials were told to hustle, achieve, and figure it out, but a lot of us hit our 30s feeling off track and wondering why the plan never quite fit. In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually means to own your existence instead of waiting for permission to live authentically. We get into why rest, career changes, and setting boundaries don’t need anyone’s approval, and how emotional well-being isn’t a luxury but the foundation for everything else.  You’ll hear why healing, saying no, and logging off count as growth, how to stop missing your life while you’re busy building it, and why your milestones are still valid even if they don’t look traditional. If you’re tired of measuring yourself against someone else’s timeline, this is your reminder that growth isn’t linear, success isn’t one aesthetic, and you’re allowed to evolve on your own terms.

What Does It Mean to Be a Man? Gen Z, Manhood, Leadership & Christianity

“What does it actually mean to be a man in a generation that rejects definition?” I have the honour of interviewing entrepreneur @charlesodt as we tackle the tension Gen Z men are living in — identity confusion, social media pressure, and a lack of real role models. We unpack the crisis of manhood caught between cultural extremes of passivity and toxicity, and why so many young men feel lost or misled. Then we rebuild the vision: a biblical blueprint for manhood where leadership means service, strength means responsibility, and identity is rooted in Christ. From Jesus as the servant-leader to practical marks of integrity, sacrifice, and discipline — we redefine what strength actually looks like. We get practical about leadership for today: leading yourself first through habits and discipline, leading in relationships with respect and accountability, and leading in faith by standing firm when it costs you. No fluff — just real, doable steps: build daily discipline, find mentorship, take responsibility in small things.
