Having returned from almost three weeks of non-stop travels, I come bearing THOUGHTS. On finding balance when being out of your routines, boundaries, money anxiety, and the constant search for fulfillment (spoiler alert: it remains to be found).

Why I suck at making decisions

for whatever reason, in today’s episode i read you some of my iphone notes; written at parties, on trains, in parks and other random moments when pen and paper weren’t available. this (un)surprisingly personal episode had me talking about my relationship with alcohol, amazement over literature, wanting to write, the male ego (oops) and losing girlfriends over boyfriends (ouch)! / for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

Reading out my phone notes...

heartfelt at its most chaotic; a 42-minute-long stream of consciousness sort of episode in which i discuss finishing uni, summer plans, how i got my first job, the highs of socialisation and why i'll never spend £6 on a pastry

Getting to know yourself

a restless girl, a glass of red wine and an evening to ponder about her recent appreciation for solitude, the seasonality of socialisation and why binging two seasons of grey’s anatomy might be exactly what her soul needed / for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

Being (anti) social

if you’ve been following me for a while you probably realized i do not function well in chaos - i thrive in my routines and try to take as best care of my mental and physical health as possible, whether through exercise, therapy, journaling or (yes) cleaning. as such, i’m not surprised it has gotten me the reputation of a very structured and productive (if not obsessive huh) person. so, in today’s episode, i talk all about self-discipline; why it matters and how it’s helping me stay afloat, but even more importantly, how i began to implement it from a place of genuiene self-compassion and self-love - because there’s nothing more fun and encouraging than being your own cheerleader !!!  for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

Self-discipline & self-compassion

In this very rambly episode, I dive into the concept of the future - how I used to think (or rather, obsess) about it vs how I do now and what has changed - but also get carried away and discuss all things metaphysical: existential dread, the meaning of life (or lack thereof) and death (and why I find it a comforting thought). So, in short, just your typical heartfelt episode x | for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

The joy of living

Ladies n gentlemen, a warm welcome for heartfelt's first guest - my flatmate and best friend, Beji! In this casual episode, we talk about all things physical exercise and its effects on our body image + mental health. We discuss how this relationship evolved over years, our current fitness routines (a fancy way of saying what we do to keep fit), sports we'd love to try and how we're both fixated on learning how to handstand. I hope you'll enjoy it just as much as we did recording this and do let me know if you'd want more guest episodes in the future! xx for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

Our relationship with physical exercise ft. Beji !

unfiltered, introspective, and, most importantly, heartfelt discussions on topics ranging from gen-z culture, mental health, self-development, and the human condition. hosted by a perpetual overthinker and a texbook INFJ navigating daily struggles of adulthood, and coming to grisps with how little she actually knows about life. for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

The constant cold, the lack of sun and just the overall emotional fatigue... yeah, some could say January has not been easy on me. While acknowledging difficult emotions and letting yourself experience these lows is very important, you also have to beware of indulging in negativity and sadness (as i'm sure all of us have at one point or another - and that's ok!!). And so, i'm coming with the hopes of shining some light on the dark corners of your psyche and helping you gain some (very much needed) perspective on what might've been weighing on your mind lately. sending you lots of love, as always x

Lessons from 2022

over the past few months, i’ve truly come to appreciate the value of authenticity, honesty, and the courage to have the difficult conversation - even though it can be so uncomfortable and !! scary !! the truth is, i simply do not have the capacity to deal with bullshit anymore - if something’s on my mind, i may as well say it. it’s upsetting to observe how so many of us would rather let things build up (sometimes to the point of compromising the quality of your relationships) rather than own up to our emotions in an honest and upfront manner. so, since i’ve entered my cough honesty era cough, i decided to devote this episode to discussing the value of authenticity and sincerity and how practicing the two can bring more meaning into your life and close relationships. i hope u v much enjoy it &lt;3  for updates, questions and eveything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

IS honesty the best policy?

Those who know me know that I do not function well unless given a to-do list and five activities for the day. But being active and engaged - whether in academia, friendships, work, or sports - has usually come naturally to me; I simply cannot sit my ass down and do nothing because I feel like ten other things are demanding my attention at once. On priorities, running high on energy, boundaries and so much more - welcome to this little brain dump. For updates, questions and everything else, follow @heartfeltpod on instagram!

On relationships

In case you're confused about this oh-so-mysterious title, it is an elaborate way of saying: I'm overstimulated and I think it's a chronic condition. In this episode, I talk about the underlying fatigue brought about by simply ~existing~ in the 21st century; distractions, social media (never not talking about social media), yearning for nature, minimalism and why I so often feel like the protagonist in "Everything Everywhere All At Once" (but not in a cute way). I hope you enjoy this directionless stream of consciousness!   For updates, questions and everything else, follow @heartfeltpod on Instagram!
