The MOBILE MENTOR

Hi wonderful humans.

I took some time off podcasting this year (tbh, work was very busy, and I had lots of planning and to-dos, so creating content fell off). But – after an eventful week – and now WAY more time on my hands, I have decided to use my voice. Surprisingly, with recent life changes and unexpected news RE: health and work, I've felt more inspired...

It's story time! It feels like a reinvention period, and unlike during last year's unfortunate events in the SAME season, I AM HERE FOR IT.

Themes in This Episode:

• Why I am not having a Hot Girl Summer
• "When it rains it pours"
• Dealing with last year’s layoff and lack of stability VS. 2025
• Handling uncertainty
• Identity and work
• Work industry changes – marketing/creative/advertising
• Navigating the future of work
• Life change management tools 
• Living abroad/away from home
• My mindset around a sudden injury 
• The role of spirituality, mindfulness, and self-talk

Welcome to another episode in season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod, and an episode on a topic that's SUPER important to me: Empathy. This was brought about by some family friction this recent Christmas (because, duh!).

I chat about said family friction, how it affected me, and what I realised about myself and my defaults as a result of other people's situations and emotions. And tbh, I wasn't totally happy about it. Moving forward, I'm considering how to adapt my empathy. You'll find out why...

Themes in the episode:

-Empathy in relationships of all kinds

-The different types of empathy (there are 3!)

-Why too much empathy isn't a good thing

-Toggling empathy for the right relationships and moments

-Extending empathy to oneself

-Compassion vs. Empathy

-Childhood trauma, coping strategies, and why I am how I am

Welcome to season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod!! I thought I'd mark 2025 with a brand-new season. Thank god 2024 is over... It was a tumultuous and very fast-moving year. I am happy to move on to more pleasant, stable, and peaceful pastures.

This episode, I share how I start every new year in a softer, self-compassionate, and less strict way (I am not a fan of the old 'new year's resolutions' lark and its connotations – you'll find out why). I 'theme' every year! We've all gotta find what works for us, right? Have a listen and see what comes up for you with this approach.

Themes in this Ep:

-Words to live by (as opposed to vision boards)

-Living in your heart and body vs. living in your head

-Following your intuition

-Staying flexible as opposed to fixing goals

-Use personal reflections to inform what's ahead

-When to do this exercise

-Knowing and living by your values
