In this special Christmas episode of The Next Gen Podcast, I’m joined by my bestie Manvir for a festive, unfiltered conversation filled with memories, laughs, and a little bit of chaos.

From real talk to hilarious confessions and questionable opinions, this episode is cozy, chaotic, and exactly what you’d expect when best friends get behind the mic. Grab a drink, get comfy, and tune in for pure holiday vibes.
How often are we actually in silence anymore?If I’m getting ready, driving, folding laundry — something is always playing. My brain feels constantly full, and when it’s finally time to sleep, I end up doom-scrolling instead of resting because my mind won’t shut off.In this solo episode, I’m talking about overstimulation, anxiety, productivity, and why being “busy” has become our default. I share how writing things down helped me clear my head, why I don’t fully believe in taking an entire day off to recharge, and how I’m trying to find a healthier balance between working hard and actually enjoying my life.I also talk about being 25, feeling like there’s always too much to do, and how choosing presence — especially during the holiday season — has changed the way I move through my days.If you feel addicted to your phone, overwhelmed by your own thoughts, or stuck between resting and grinding — this episode is for you.
