You know how sometimes all you really need is something that shakes you by the shoulders and gets you so fired up you can’t not do the scary thing?
And other times, you’re craving a deep, heart-expanding, soul-softening chat about life and meaning and why any of this matters.
And then there are those times when all you want is an unhinged conversation with a friend that reminds you how young, dumb, and wildly alive you still are.
Yeah. This one is all of that - in one conversation.
In this special episode of Lost & Found, I’m sharing a deeply personal conversation from when I was a guest on the Kindred Roads podcast — a show I’ve long admired for its soul-filled stories from travellers, creatives, and people building beautiful, unconventional lives.
We talk about: – The winding road of solo travel and digital nomad life – How I went from broke and burnt out to building a life with freedom – Navigating grief, identity shifts, and family expectations – Why your 20s don’t need to make sense to anyone else – And how I became the youngest published author in South Africa at age 12 (and what writing has meant to me ever since)
This episode holds stories I’ve never shared before - from romances in Argentina to motorbike crashes in Nicaragua, to what it really feels like to chase freedom and find belonging around the world.
Whether you’re mid-breakdown, mid-reinvention, or somewhere in between, this one’s for you.
