I did a 10 Day Silent Meditation & it Changed My Life (Vipassana)
No talking, no writing, no wifi & no devices! This was such a transformational and much-needed reset after a low year of burnout, anxiety, and feeling lost. A chance to finally get away from the noise of everyday life and the expectations I'd been placing on myself. These Vipassana centers are located worldwide and the courses are paid for by the students who've come before you (donation-based & volunteer-run!) You can find out more on www.Dhamma.org I did mine at Dhamma Dipa in Hereford, England from July 5-16th, 2022, and had an amazing experience. Everyone who went came out with a different story so this is mine! I genuinely feel so much more myself and physically lighter coming out of it. I noticed slight changes in my body and self-awareness every day. The podcast does get more personal/emotional as it progresses so please don’t mind the sniffly moments… I’ll make a post on Instagram where we can use it as a comments/questions section which I’ll use for a mini-FAQ section in the YouTube video to come where I’ll share some videos of the place and further long term changes I’ve noticed in myself as I continue to practice this unique meditation technique each day :)) Love you all very very much! Sending you big hugs and chat soooon

My Design School Experience + Studying Abroad (uncut candid)
Here are the uncut honest answers to all your questions about college, what is graphic design, how I got into my program, my exchange experience in Germany at Bauhaus, and design ideology between Europe vs commercialised North America. I also touch upon my internship experience, interviews, sentiments towards a 9-5, and why I'm not pursuing a career in design (at this moment or ever) *Warning* I do get pretty emotional at times and my trains of thought are pretty chaotic and sometimes very unorganised but that's my brain hehe love you
