Mon Jun 23 2025
After 5.5 years, 400 episodes, and a journey that started with a Kiwisaver convo during my PwC internship... I’m officially wrapping up The OneUp Project.
This episode is a reflective goodbye — sharing the real reason I’m ending the pod, the unexpected lessons it taught me, and why pressing pause can be a power move. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just joined, this one’s from the heart. Thank you for growing with me 💛 🔑
What we discussed:
Why I started The OneUp Project and how it shaped my 20sNavigating creative burnout and knowing when it’s time to step awayLessons that stuck from 5+ years of conversations with incredible humansThe mindset shifts that changed my life – financially, personally, and emotionallyWhy trusting people, taking risks, and staying curious will take you further than anything elseEmbracing uncertainty and letting go of the sunk cost fallacyWhat’s next, and how I’m learning to live into this new season fully
