Thrive Collective Podcast

I'm so emotional in a good way. I have had a rollecoster situation with Uni and I'm finally graduating

In this episode, i'm reminiscing on where my thoughts last year wondering how my career will look like because i was actively looking for a job, how it has been getting a job to leaving unceremoniously, being burnt out because the job literally made me unwell and moving forward, i want a job i enjoy. I'm still figuring it out. Enjoy the chat

So actually i did a taking stock on 2020. Its episode #28 on the podcast. This has been a fun ride with a lot of firsts. Learning and becoming more of myself. As am saying goodbye to the pod,i will still create content through video on tiktok and reels hopefully

Something i know for sure other than God's goodness. Journaling has really changed my life literally, remembering when i was very overwhelmed, i needed a way to process my thoughts and i found one.

How time flies!! Last year i had a life changing heartbreak no kidding. It changed me for the better truly. I miss some aspects of that relationship but it made me who i am. I learnt to be honest, understand that people's behaviour and/or actions is not a reflection of my worth. I am both good and bad and loveable and worthy. It was fun reminiscing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifewithchaypodcast/message

Join me in this episode as I share my thoughts on making money, building a business you love *Is entrepreneurship for everyone? *Can we actually live life and build a business we love? Am still learning how to think about money, build a business I love and being financially independent. After recording this episode I have spent my time listening to Npr's life kit episodes about money and also coincidentally my good friend recommended a financial book which I cant wait to get my hands on pretty soon. It's called get good with money by Tiffany Aliche if you also want to read along, thanks, Vanesa. xo Anyway, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to money, you have to decide if you have a limiting mindset and find ways to fix that. This is just my opinion and thoughts. Still learning and will share as I go along.Love you all so much and I appreciate your time --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifewithchaypodcast/message

So these days I actually don't find sleep before 2 am, thought would share this story on my journey with faith my struggle, and the path am on right now. I still don't have all the answers but am trying to do the best I can following what feels right and deciding intentionally what I want to believe and who God is for me, this journey felt scary, to say the least, because I felt wrong not believing what I have known for so long, questioning and not finding answers. At the end of the day, we are all doing our best and you have to do right by yourself. I gave myself space to be on my disbelief journey, I searched for my answers, I was open to other beliefs and circled back to what I believed since childhood because that's what feels right for me. I hope in regards to faith you have found what feels right. I don't have all the answers but I have some and am good with that --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifewithchaypodcast/message

After being in school from kindergarten to campus, leaving school for the first time, this new chapter comes with its new challenges, to finding careers and life partners. Did the school system sell us a lie that we just need to work hard in school then we will be set for life? how do we adapt though?

To be honest, this episode has been so personal one. I had to delete some parts to avoid exposing myself too much. But this was recorded before covid and i was struggling from being questioned in my career choice vs how i am. I didn't want it to seem that am complaining about being "corrected". Am new at all this and am willing to work at it. Let's continue the conversation on insta@lifewithchay --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lifewithchaypodcast/message
