“Plus” sign Relationships + Who does your burden fall on?

Make connections more meaningful by finding value in those vertical and horizontal relationships inside and outside of work

Been MIA the last three months because work is hectic #FulfillingCareerGoal so I just got off the phone with a friend where one of the conversation topics we talked about was losing a part of you after college and trying to find a community for you wherever you land and how difficult that has been Afiq I shared my challenges with losing who I am as an Asian American, so this episode just wanted to talk out loud with where I am at. I didn’t go into the same details that I shared with him but I just wanted to put where I’m at out here in case any of you guys are feeling that way too.

Took me 6 years and an audio book to finish this one. I can understand why a lot of people enjoy this book but personally, I probably would not recommend this book to anyone. I think this is a good book for introducing people to multiple different topics, but I know that there are other books at take a deeper dive into these topics with stronger and more concrete examples such as, but not limited to Think Again by Adam Grant and Essentialism by Greg McKeown. With that being said, I was able to capture common themes I saw from this book and a dozen other self help books I’ve read (41 in 2023) and share with you today

Having career aspirations is important but so is opening your mind up to other opportunities and not limit yourself if plans don’t align.

per usual, let me take you through my extremes of having a place to express my concerns and a place where I couldn’t

For the second year in a row, I had a major identity crisis- this time it’s the opposite of what the first one was. In this episode, I briefly touch on how living in an specific area, not suited for me, shape my mind, and therefore caused this identity crisis to form and how I was able to recover faster than the first crisis; so tag along and listen to me ramble without having a point lol

Did you buy that perfect shirt but never wear it? and now it can’t fit so you have to throw it out (not actually trash but donate or sell)? yeah me too. After helping over a dozen people declutter, their closets, kitchen, digital life. This is the number one common thing I’ve seen.

Listen in to see how I caved in to societal pressure and made my first big purchase fail!
