The End of the Life Upgrade Podcast (And the Beginning of Something Truer)
Thu Oct 30 2025
On October 25th, 2021 — I hit publish on the very first episode of Life Upgrade.
I didn’t know what I was doing.No niche.No strategy.No experience.
Just a deep desire to help someone… anyone… experience life with a little more hope.
Over the past 4 years, Life Upgrade became more than I expected:
* 78 episodes
* 20,000+ downloads
* Listeners from dozens of countries
* Countless conversations that shaped me
* And a journey that grew me more than I planned
I made mistakes.A lot of them.
I tried to sound smarter than I felt.I tried to look like I had it all together.I brought guests who came only to promote themselves.I talked about everything… which means I stood for nothing.
But that’s how growth looks.It’s messy.Ugly.Beautiful.Necessary.
And somewhere along the way, I learned the truth:
We do not upgrade our lives like software.We ascend into deeper fulfillment.
Not by doing more.Not by becoming impressive.But by becoming real.
That truth is why I’ve decided to end the Life Upgrade podcast.
Not because it failed.But because I finally found my voice.
Introducing:
🎧 Fulfillment Ascendancy
A podcast for people who are tired of pretending.
A space for conversations the self-help world is too polished to have:
* I have no house or car — but I’m still happy
* Success stories are lying to you
* Expectations are killing you
* You are not scared of failure — you are scared of being seen
This isn’t a podcast where I tell you how to fix your life.
It’s a podcast where we admit we’re human…And then discover that our humanity is enough.
What happens next?
