Ep. 85. Simon Says Focus on Yourself in 2025

Ep 80. Types of Self Sabotage
Hello hi. Welcome to our coffee date. Thank you for being so patient after my laptop died and I had to figure out how to replace it.

Ep 78. Gratitude & The Feelings Economy - Dirty Chai with Chio

How do we tie the feelings economy into James Clear’s thoughts on Identity, Greg McKeown’s doing less but doing it better, and Rupi Kaur’s poetry. It’s a fou
Ep. 77 - Big Magic: Living Creatively in 2024
I have been consistent about setting a vision or theme for each year since I hit 30.I’m currently 39. I learned in my 20s that making many resolutions just doesn’t work for me. I make a long list and then I forget about it as soon as life does what life does. Yet, I firmly believe in vision, direction, and intention. Setting a vision is more than popular culture or modern spirituality. It is also
Ep 76. Most of us don't take up nearly the Space the Universe intended for us
In this week’s instalment I share a Ted Talk by Caroline McHugh which I found remarkable. She touches on all the vital bases required to remind us how to root ourselves and to make meaning of this existence while trying to live the fullest versions of ourselves.

Ep 74. Wisdom from Shonda Rhimes - Dirty Chai with Chio
Sometimes you get derailed in big and small ways and you need to have a toolkit to help you restore your mindset and focus. To trip or fall is human.

Like she says, while the dreamers dream, the world belongs to the
Ep 73. You Can't Go Back - Dirty Chai with Chio
My subconscious decided to fire shots at me. This is my first experience with a personal attack from myself to me. So you were wronged… are you going to play victim for the rest of eternity? Stop it.

Featured books and resources are: How the One-Armed Sist
Ep 67. The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
Hello hi. Welcome to this week’s coffee date. This week’s installment is a full summary of Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power. A link to the source is below.

Ep 66. The Power of Relational Intelligence with Esther Perel - Dirty Chai with Chio
Hello hi. Welcome to this week’s coffee date.

Ep. 63 Misguided Metrics - Dirty Chai with Chio
Imagine this: You’re sitting at a dinner party, and the conversation drifts to relationships. One guest says, "I’d never divorce a woman who cooks like this."

Ep 56. 3 Deceptively Simple Ideas that a Profoundly Powerful - Dirty Chai with Chio
On today’s coffee date, we discuss 3 ideas that are worth fully grasping because people often confuse them with different concepts that mean something else entirely: humility is self-deprecation, patience is not sitting and waiting, and knowing your “enough” is not putting a cap on your ambition or dreams.

Ep 54. The Story I'm Telling Myself is...
In this episode, we dive into Brené Brown's powerful "Lake Travis Story," where she unpacks exactly why the phrase "the story I’m telling myself is" is so powerful that it is used both by fortune 500 CEOs and successfully married couples.

Ep 1. Fear Factor - Express Chai with Chio
Guess who’s back? Back again? We are back!!! Tell a friend. I figured I would rest and rethink the podcast. I really imagined I would be thinking about scaling back.

Ep 52. 5 things I wish I had learnt sooner - Dirty Chai with Chio
The Podcast is one year old this Tuesday. Remember the days of #CareerTuesday? Me too! It's a little unbelievable that a year has passed since my first shaky episode of the pod.

Ep 49. Just Do It - Dirty Chai with Chio
This is a toolkit episode. Instead of the usual thesis of change, toolkit episodes speak to specific actions to achieve a particular result.

Ep. 36 Interdependence: The Winner's Level of the Game - Dirty Chai with Chio
We glorify independence, don’t we? We do. It’s easy. It’s because it is such a difficult thing for most of us to achieve in a world filled with co-dependence, financial considerations, and life doing what life does. Independence seems like an achievement because it is one. In particular, if we achieve independence as a result of trauma, we easily slip into hyper-independence and are applauded for

Ep. 31 - Crafting an Unforgettable Presence - The Christopher Langan Story - Dirty Chai with Chio
Welcome to our coffee date. I met Christopher Langan for the first time in chapter 3 of Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers.
