'Process is where the magic happens'

@giuliawrites said these words during our conversation about figuring things out as we go for #livingyourtruthpodcast and they resonated with me so very deeply. Isn't that the truth? But we are all so caught up in having to figure it all out, have a plan in place and this doesn't leave space for that playtime where the magic actually happens. Her story is a brilliant example of what it looks like when you are in the middle of it all. When you don't know exactly where you are headed to but you are still holding space for joy and allowing yourself the time and space for your truth to come to life through you.

I'm curious what is it like for you? Are you holding that space for curiosity, joy, and playtime in your life?

(Curious like a cat, maybe?!)

In this episode, we talked about her journey of leaving a dream corporate job, travelling for a year and then finally slowing down to sit with her thoughts, figure out what she'd rather love doing. We also talked about the power of stories and how sharing our true not so perfect messy parts can empower others to see what's possible for them too. We talked a lot about the process and how going through the process and the discomfort is inevitable if you wish to deviate from the should do's in your life.

My conversation with Giulia made me realize how even though we both grew up in different cultures but are so very alike and have similar kinds of struggles. I hope our experiences resonate with yours too! You can find the link in Bio :) #livingyourtruthpodcast

I believe in the power of stories. I really do believe, owning our stories and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

Sharing our stories and all that messy middle not only allows us to hold space for our own truths but it also works like permission to others who might be thinking of something similar but aren't yet finding the courage to embrace it. You don't have to be extra-ordinary for your story to matter.

Listening to these stories myself and connecting with such brilliant creative humans made me learn quite a few things, made me feel less alone and more hopeful. And now, I am so very excited to share this hope with you all too!

There are three episodes waiting for you to dive in now and over the weekend

Ep. 01 Owning Our Stories with Hira Sameer Ahmed
Ep. 02 Reconnecting with Creativity with Sarah Fraser @novelandkind
Ep. 03 Doing the work and building creative confidence with Jill Dimond Art @jilldimondart

You can now find 'Living Your Truth' in the apple podcasts, stitcher, spotify and other podcast players. Find the Link in Bio :) More than anything, I hope it holds space for you to define success on your own terms and give you permission to follow your curiosity. Your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You are allowed to carve a path of your own on your own terms, in your own way and in your own time. I can't wait to hear what resonated the most with you!

It’s happening.It’s happening! 🎉
.
It feels like I have been going on and on about the podcast for past few weeks here on Instagram. But to tell you the truth... it has been in the making for past two years. Well at least the idea of it. It had been ruminating at the back of my head all this time until now. I guess I just needed to reach a point where making it happen became more important than all those fears and stories that had been holding me back. And I’m so glad to finally be able to put it out there in the world.

I’ll be writing more about those stories I was telling myself on the blog this week but for now I am so very happy to share... There will be three episodes ready for you to dive into tomorrow. I’ll be starting with my own story of finding my truth and owning my story... and the other two stories are a surprise ;) Until then, any wild guesses?

Don’t forget to subscribe. I promise, it’ll be worth your time 💛

You can now find 'Living Your Truth' in the apple podcasts, stitcher and Spotify. If you search for it, you'll find a trailer (40 seconds long) to give you an insight into what the show is going to be all about.

You know where to find the link :) #livingyourtruthpodcast

A little bit of sunshine before we onto the cold and dark winters✨

For me, light symbolizes hope. My hope with this first season of the podcast is to bring stories and lived experiences of people to make each and every one of you to feel less alone in your struggles and more hopeful in your own journey. I believe in the power of stories. I really do believe, owning our stories and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

Sharing our stories and all that messy middle not only allows us to hold space for our own truths but it also works like permission to others who might be thinking of something similar but aren't yet finding the courage to embrace it. You don't have to be extra-ordinary for your story to matter. Your lived experience and how far you have made with what you had matters more.

Oh, autumn how beautiful and full of wonders you are. "Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go." - Unknown

I love how nature can teach us the most important lessons in life. This is one of my favourite quotes about this season. What's yours?

Some thoughts on getting things done and managing my energy as an introvert.

I have been working on bringing a podcast to life. #livingyourtruthpodcast
It has been a joy getting people on to share their stories and the lessons they have learned so far and how they are continuing to live their truth out loud despite all those struggles and challenges.
So far I have recorded 5 episodes. When I was scheduling the dates for interviews, I thought it would be best for me to schedule not more than one call a day. I will have enough time in my day to manage my energy and not feel overwhelmed too!

Nope. That wasn't the case. I learned from this experience that it doesn't work well for me. I keep on spending my days thinking about the call, feeling anxious and trying to calm myself down instead of focusing on something else. This reminds me of the research I read (don't remember when and where) about how much more mental energy it takes you when you are switching between tasks instead of doing a certain kind of task in one go. This is why I started experimenting with batching in the first place. But somehow couldn't make the connection here. Btw I am still failing in successfully batching when it comes to creating content. So the experimentation is still on until I land somewhere that works for me. Any suggestions or tips you've got?

Coming back to the podcast, from this learning, I went ahead and booked the next three calls on the same day which was today. I decided it to be my one and only preference for the day, podcast interviews, stories and connection. This feels like a more manageable way of getting things done and still being able to manage my anxiety and more importantly my energy levels. (I will report back with the results)

But... Our neighbours decided to do some renovations and there was too much noise to record an episode so I had to reschedule all the calls which I am feeling pretty bummed out about. But at least I have got my noise cancelling headphones on!! and thankfully no migraines so far. I am finding solace in the memories of this quiet day.
