Episode 2 • My accidental gap year ⛱️

Listen don’t get me wrong, I’m forever grateful for all the opportunities I got in my corporate career.
I got GOOD global roles, moved continents, lived in major financial cities, worked on incredible projects, the food I ate at work was healthy (& expensive, ngl), the gym was first class.

It’s not that the perks were not real - it’s that hustle culture stretches every perk, every opportunity. And when the novelty wears off, which it does mind you, it becomes proof you’re overworked.

Free food ➡️ you never leave
Global role ➡️ you’re always on
Free cabs ➡️ you’re leaving at 2am

I am not ungrateful, in my accidental gap year I started realising that everything that made my life seem ‘lucky’ started giving me the ick.

The ick = the red flags 🚩
The red flags —> ignored = collapse
Collapse —> the gap year I never planned

If you’re considering a gap year, follow along, get in touch. Do everything I didn’t do 🙌

My accidental gap year got me to question and reframe a lot of things that was all due to my programming and conditioning, not much truth to it.

Can you think of more?

Anti-burnout FRIYAY on Onam!! Double win 🌼🌸

Anti-burnout because N and I took intentional time out to enjoy this feast (sadya) today.

N and I have enjoyed a sadya from the first year that we started dating. So much so that it was a big part of our wedding.

Onam Sadya isn’t just a feast, it’s a whole experience on a banana leaf. Since learning Ayurveda in detail for the last few years I’ve come to understand how many of these traditions weren’t random rituals, they were practical science for daily life, just expressed differently.

Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Mediterranean practices — they all figured out:
• Eat with the seasons 🌦️
• Balance your tastes, elements, energies 🌈
• Use food as medicine 🥘
• Connect with community & nature

Onam ashamsakal to everyone! Maybe next year I’ll wear the white and gold saree again 🥻🧡

My adult life saw little to no energy for friendships. And adult friendships NEED effort and energy.
When I first moved to London, I had no friends. I knew a handful of people, mostly through work. And I genuinely thought sitting next to colleagues for hours and hours would turn into lifelong friendship. Sorry, no!

I didn’t have the energy to have a social life. Because I was burning the candle at both ends. And because I had no social life, my burnout felt even worse.

As a millennial, making friends is.. complicated. We move cities for jobs, burnout from these jobs, and then wonder what happened! Most people I met were through work, and so the imbalance with my work-life existence was HUGE.
I only know now, on introspection, that friendships happen over activity. Like when we were kids we became friends by doing things, not simply sitting beside each other in class or “networking”. We played, we fought, we crammed for exams, we shared chaos.
As adults it’s the same. My first real London friend was the one I asked for help putting my IKEA bed together.

So as adults if you find yourself seeing friendship as a task, maybe it’s not you. Maybe it’s burnout? 🔥

We’re always joking about our bodies “betraying” us when we get tired, sick or stressed.

“Ugh, why is my body being so dramatic?”

But whyyy is drama a bad thing?! Maybe instead of calling our bodies dramatic in a dismissive way, we should appreciate that they’re being dramatic in a “THIS IS IMPORTANT, LISTEN TO ME” way.

I think when our bodies are being “dramatic” we should give it the standing ovation it deserved instead of telling it tone it down.

Rant over! 😒🥲
