ICYMI, I published the first of many life updates over the weekend. Take a look and vote on what you think!
Manifestation.
What do you think of when you hear the word? Do you think itâs unrealistic, or do you think it represents a movement that is in fundamental opposition to your values?
One thing thatâs interesting to me is some of the ânewestâ, âtrendiestâ terms can be traced back to ancient spiritual principles. Itâs not as âout thereâ or as âselfishâ as people think. On the other hand, itâs actually an essential part of what it means to live a life that is truly aligned with your inner self, that brings a level of peace that has no comparison.
Iâd say the art of manifestation is one of the reasons Iâve been calmer and at more peace for the last 4 years straight, despite the uncertainties and challenges of life. In this episode, I unpack some of the most impactful, yet rarely discussed elements of manifestation⊠from a spiritual lens.
Enjoy!

âMove in silenceâ
âBe careful of evil eyeâ
âBe mysterious onlineâ
Many of us, including me, have lived by these mantras⊠in my view, to our detriment. Itâs time to change that. In this episode I unpack aaaallll the reasons why you should let go of moving in silence this summer (and beyond)

How do you keep going when nothing is working? How do you deal with unanswered prayers? No matter how âgoodâ things appear, most of us are still hoping for SOMETHING. At the end of 2023, I found myself in tears, unable to trust the process. My hope was lost, I had so much frustration and I was just over it.
Hereâs how I found my way back to clarity and peace. I hope it helps you too. Let me know what you think!

This is one of those episodes that holds up a mirror to the relationships in your life... are you ready?
Through a series of highly televised sibling rivalries (Kourtney vs. Kim, Kyle Richards vs. Kathy Hilton, Kendall Roy vs. Shiv Roy vs. Roman Roy) â we explore how to navigate the tension between putting yourself first and looking after yourself, vs. being part of cultural and familial systems that might just be... a little toxic.
I hope this episode makes you a bit more free in some way or another.

Itâs that time of year when we start looking back on what weâve âdoneâ and wondering if it measures up. The question is, âmeasures upâ to what?
Inspired by a recent conversation at a house party, this weekâs episode explored the idea of what success looks like and can be â and how adapting the mindset that youâre a success right now, just as you are is the key to setting yourself up for even more success in the future. Enjoy!

It all started with this tweet: âa16z and Sequoia are wrong 90% of the timeâŠâ
If some of the greatest and smartest minds in the world have accounted for the fact that things not working out is a normal part of life, then perhaps the question âwhat if it doesnât workâ isnât even the right question to ask. I think we should be asking a better, more productive set of questions.
Now, look at your own life. Are there steps youâre afraid of taking? Are there things that feel so exciting, that deep down you want to pursue but they feel âtoo riskyâ? Instead of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing, ask yourself, 'how am I going to hedge against this risk?'. And maybe, just maybe youâll get unstuck.

The best version of your life is within reach, you just have to opt in. Tony Robbins said it best, your whole life can change on a single decision.

This week on the Take What You Need podcast, we deep-dive into the psychology of one of my favourite shows, HBO's Succession. The hallmark of great literature and media is that it holds up a mirror into our society on a macro scale, and the condition of humanity on a microscale, and Succession does that with equal doses of drama and comedy. This episode touches on generational patterns, the sibling experience and the TRUE meaning of the word âsuccessionâ.
ESSENTIAL FAQs:
Do I need to have watched Succession to enjoy this episode? No, I explain everything so hopefully itâs interesting Are there spoilers? Yes, only a couple. Approach with caution (tbh, where have you been and why arenât you caught up?)IN THIS EPISODE:
Why I think describing the Roys as âbad peopleâ actually misses the point
I give a snapshot of just how deep and brilliant this show is in my eyesâŠ
How annoyed Iâd be if I was Connor Roy
ls a look into 2053, when we have a Succession reboot đ
Let me know what you think!

If I could, I'd describe it in a single word: identity. But who really knows what that means? So instead I'll say: the words we speak (and the paradigms they're based on) become the house that we live in. In this episode, I explore how the narratives that our friends, family, counsellors and external sources like enneagrams and zodiac signs shape our lives. And what to do about that.

âPay me my worthâ
âIf someone doesnât want to pay me, they donât respect meâ
âWhy would I pay them if I can just do it myself?â
âI donât want to give away 10% of MY MONEYâ
âMoney isnât important to meâ
The above, and other stories we tell ourselves, hold us back more than we realise. Today weâre going to work on releasing more abundance into our lives, via four of my top (and slightly alternative) philosophies and principles. It starts with our mindset.

âIf I donât keep going, everything's going to fall apart"
âIf I donât take this opportunity, who knows when the next one will comeâ
Thereâs definitely value in seizing the day, but what happens when you become stuck in a cycle of constantly working? What happens when youâre exhausted in a way that sleep cannot repair? Is it really a good life if youâre constantly counting down until your next holiday to exhale?
In this weekâs episode, I answer the question âHow do you navigate burnout and the need to always perform?â. The short answer? The life-changing practice of the Sabbath
As we prep for 2023, itâs only right that weâre in a season of hibernation â extended sabbath if you will. Now is the ideal time to integrate true sabbath into your daily life.
