“Some people don’t run away from their lives.

They simply evaporate — because staying feels more painful than disappearing.”

In this episode, we uncover Johatsu, the culture of saving face, and the heavy mental health cost of disappearing instead of asking for help.

In a world full of experts, ignorance wears confidence. This podcast confronts performative intelligence, borrowed ideas, and the uncomfortable truth that most of us know far less than we claim.

We spend years building our designations, allowing roles and titles to define our sense of worth and identity. But when the title fades—through change, transition, or silence—who are we really? This episode invites you to pause and reflect on the self beyond achievements, labels, and professional success, and to reconnect with the person that remains when work no longer speaks for you.

In this episode, we explore a universal truth: no matter who you are or what you do, someone won’t like you—and that’s okay. We dive into why seeking universal approval can be exhausting and self-defeating, how to build self-worth that isn't dependent on others’ opinions, and how to stay grounded in your values. If you've ever felt weighed down by criticism or rejection, this conversation is for you.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how our relationship with technology is quietly reshaping our lives. From sharenting—where parents overshare their kids' lives online—to technoference in our relationships, and the growing number of smombies (smartphone zombies) around us, we dive into the unseen emotional and psychological costs of constant connectivity. Tune in to reflect, recalibrate, and reclaim your attention.
