New Beginnings: my story & why you need to start before you're ready

WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE!

I wanted to use this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about myself: who I am, my story and why I do what I do. I'm so excited to finally have longer conversations with you. Can't wait for everything thats gonna come :))

I introduce myself, get real about my nerves, and dive into why I'm finally hitting record. From growing up in Berlin, teaching myself to read at five, and surviving the chaos of middle school — to backpacking through Costa Rica, building a clothing brand, and yes, that one embarrassing dropshipping era — this episode is a raw, unfiltered introduction to the girl behind the screen.

But it's not just a "get to know me." I break down what this podcast is actually about, why I'm naming it the Anti-Brainrot Podcast, and what I hope to build with it — a space to think deeper, connect more, and push back against the endless scroll.

The biggest takeaway? Start before you're ready. Own your beginner era. And don't let perfectionism stop you from doing the thing.

🎙️ Topics covered: why I started this podcast, the Anti-Brainrot movement, my childhood & school years, life after high school, my travel adventures, my social media beginnings, and every business I've ever started (including my 12-dollar dropshipping empire).
