30: Stop seeking for the life you want and start creating it instead

I've become addicted to mindless scrolling on social media, and I'm feeling particularly nostalgic this week. 

I've spent so much time trying to "find" things in life. Finding a passion. Finding hobbies. Finding friends. Finding home. Finding a personal style. The list goes on. I don't believe any of these things are to be found. I believe they are to be created. By being curious, persistent, open-minded... More creating, less trying to find, that's something I wish I'd understood sooner.

It's easy to go from one extreme to another. In today's episode, I talk about how I went from being a shopaholic in my teens, to being a stingy minimalist who completely stopped caring about herself physically, to... who I am today. 

I recently travelled alone to Paris. What's the point of going away completely alone to a foreign country? Is it safe as a female? What is important to keep in mind? In today's episode, we discuss all things solo-travel. 

Labels are everywhere. We want to belong to certain communities and groups. We want to belong, period. We also want to feel understood, both by others and by ourselves. But what are some downsides of seeking out labels? 

I asked you all to share some of your unpopular opinions on Instagram. I react to statements such as "soulmates don't exist" and "not all women want children". 

"What makes a good friend?" is something we've all thought about at some point. Initially, the answer to that question seems rather straightforward. But is it really that simple? In today's episode, Lana covers some of the "red flags" as well as some "green flags" that may be good to keep an eye on. 

Is your early 20s the time to take risks? How do you deal with friends who can't be happy for you? Should you reach out to an old crush? In today's episode, I give you some friendly advice on friendship, love, finding your path in life and more. 

I recently went to abroad, and it was my first time travelling since the pandemic started. On the flight home, I started thinking about comfort zones, and how easy it is to let comfort dictate our lives. I contemplated the question "how free am I, really?". 

Is "beauty with brains" a compliment? Can a woman be girly, and be smart? In today's episode, I share some of the negative experiences I've had in the workplace and in life that relate to being a woman.
