The Podcast That Got Me Through Burnout

I recently talked about how 3 months after having a baby, I was allergic to the word ‘hustle’ and bros living in tree houses in Costa Rica’s microdosing on magic mushrooms…

You can read about it here if you missed it

I realize now, I was burnt out and I lost all motivation for work (and life actually, not to sound dramatic)

I would wake up, tired, and have no desire to do anything. Nothing seemed to bring me excitement anymore.

It felt pretty bleak 🙁

I started to question if I should burn my entire business to the ground.

What’s the point? It felt like hard work and constant pressure.

All the podcasts that used to motivate me and give me business strategy tips made me feel like I was behind, so I stopped listening to them

You know what helped?

This podcast

Before you click on it and judge me, because it’s such a RANDOM podcast

It’s basically two African American girlies yapping to each other about their week

That’s it. Yapping and hooting with laughter, and yapping some more

They started with just that, but now they do live shows and have sponsors, but I was one of their very first listeners!

All the way from Malaysia, then back in Ireland, then back to Malaysia, I know this as they commented once, – ‘who the heck is listening from Malaysia, is it a bot?’

No, it was me 😂

Every Wednesday, I would look forward to their yapping and just have a little escape

It was useful and productive, but it helped me relax and reminded me… You can do absolutely nothing and yap with your bestie about nonsense, and still really help someone across the world. Uplift their mood and remind them to laugh and smile

I am sharing this because maybe you are like me too?

You feel guilty when you aren’t productive, and you tie your happiness and worth to your output and results

Maybe you feel a bit stuck and demotivated and have no idea how to get your mojojojo back?

If that’s you right now — hi, I see you. And I made something for you.

Introducing: Sparkles of Joy Snail Mail Club 🐌💌

Just finished the sales page here! O_O

Yes. Actual letters. Through the actual post. In your actual hands.

Because in a world of notifications and noise, there is something quietly radical about finding something in your letterbox that was made just for you.

Something to hold. Something with no agenda. Something that just says: hey, you deserve a little sparkle today.

Every month, your envelope includes :

💌 A Letter From My Heart — Personal, heartfelt, honest and warm- rooted in real life, written just for you.

✨ Super Cute Stickers — For your journal, water bottle, or wherever you see fit – because stickers make everything better.

🎁 A Surprise Paper Goodie — Think stationery activities, bookmarks, or mini prints -something sweet & unexpected.

🎵 A Handpicked Spotify Playlist — Curated to complement the month’s theme and make the whole experience feel extra special.

📓 A Thoughtful Journal Prompt — A gentle nudge to reflect, dream & plant a tiny seed of intention in your everyday life.

🌟 A Little Surprise Treasure — Something that won’t be revealed until you open the envelope — the best kind of surprise.

My snail mail club is a monthly reminder that you are allowed to enjoy small, beautiful, completely useless things…. just because.

Ready to get a little sparkle in your letterbox?

✨ Join the Sparkles of Joy Snail Mail Club ✨

NOTE – For now, I am only accepting domestic members while I wait for my test letters to arrive abroad (so I can see how long it takes)

HOWEVER, I have a few friends from abroad who have already signed up and want to be beta testers 🙂 I’ve promised that if it doesn’t arrive, I will resend the envelope to them until it does!

If you would like to join them, reply to this email and be one of the first few international snail mail members!

The first 20 founding members will get a special bonus treat in their very first envelope. I want the people who say yes first to know how much that means. So if you’ve been on the fence – this is your sign!

PS: You can gift it to a friend who needs a little joy in their letterbox too 💌
