confessions of a self-proclaimed nerd

I wasn’t always this way.

I didn’t do very well academically in high school, I even had one teacher (who was genuinely well-meaning) say to me,

I don’t think you’re cut out for university, maybe try college instead.

And while I eventually did get into university, I was suspended after my first semester for having a low grade point average.

I took advantage of the suspension to get “real life” experience and worked as a receptionist at Unilever Canada. The best perk was discounted Dove products.

That job changed my perspective - I returned to University, paying for my own tuition, completed a 4-year Business Management degree in 3, finished my final semester in London and I’ve been here ever since.

Once I understood the value of pursuing higher education, I committed to it 100%. My biggest takeaway from university was the importance of always being a student - to keep learning.

New Way of Learning

I get a lot of my learning done these days via podcasts.

The first one I ever listened to was Serial: Season One in 2014, do you remember it?

Only 8 years later, it’s said there are over 4 million podcasts.

Some of my favourites include:

• Feel Better, Live More - Rangan Chatterjee

• The Marie Forleo Podcast - Marie Forleo

• CTZN - Kerry Kelly

I have a bias towards yoga, wellness and business, though not exclusively!

What about you? Can you share with me your favourite yoga, wellness and business podcasts? Or maybe even blogs or websites?

I love geeking out on this kind of stuff!
