What closure means can look very different from person to person.


Closure doesn’t always mean reconciliation, and forgiveness doesn’t mean you need to be close again.



In this episode, Janet Phang, Clinical Psychologist, and Shulin talk about validation, boundaries, friendship breakups, and learning to move forward.

Wanting people to be happy is one thing.
Losing yourself to keep them happy is another.

Janet Phang, Clinical Psychologist, explains where people pleasing crosses the line, especially when you start shrinking yourself to fit someone else’s expectations.

In this episode, we talk about validation, boundaries, self-compassion and learning to be okay with who you are.

Closure doesn’t mean you need to reconcile.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you need to be best friends again.

I asked Janet Phang about friendship breakups, closure and forgiveness, because I think we often put too much pressure on ourselves to make everything feel resolved.

Sometimes, accepting that a relationship has ended is part of closure too.

We’re so quick to distract ourselves from difficult emotions.

Alcohol. Netflix. Food. Scrolling.
Anything to avoid sitting with what we actually feel.

Janet Phang, Clinical Psychologist, shares why sometimes the first step after a breakup is simply giving yourself permission to feel.

Because avoiding our feelings comes at a cost too.

Your child’s screen habits might have more to do with you than you think.



We’re quick to worry about how much time our kids spend on their phones.



But before we set more rules, maybe we need to look at our own habits. Because children don’t just listen to what we tell them. They watch what we do.



If they see us constantly checking notifications, scrolling during dinner, or reaching for our phones whenever we’re bored, that becomes their example too.



Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Indistractable, says one of the most important skills we can teach our kids is how to manage distraction themselves.


And that starts with us.



🎙️ Catch our full conversation with Nir Eyal where we talk about phones, distraction, parenting and what it really takes to become indistractable.

Bullying can look like power, but often it comes from insecurity.

In the workplace, it isn’t always obvious.

It can be subtle, coming from someone with more seniority, influence or authority, which can make it even harder to recognise and call out.

William Peake has experienced workplace bullying himself, and now, as a Global Managing Partner, he has a very different perspective on what drives that behaviour and the responsibility leaders have when they see it happening.

Because real strength isn’t about making someone else feel small. It’s about creating an environment where people feel safe enough to speak up, do their best work and be themselves.

Catch my full conversation with William, where we talk about workplace bullying, accountability and leadership, as well as authenticity, AI and the future of legal careers.

A year from now, you might be glad you started today.

We often wait because the timing doesn’t feel right, we’re not quite ready, or we want to be more certain before taking that first step.

But you don’t need to know exactly where it will lead. Sometimes you just have to start and figure out the rest along the way.

Whatever you’ve been putting off, maybe this is your reminder to give it a go.

You could be the best at what you do and still get overlooked.

A lot of us were taught that if we work hard, do a good job and keep our heads down, eventually the right people will notice.

But being good at what you do is only part of it.

Georgina Chang, Executive Presence and Public Speaking Mentor, believes visibility matters too. People need to know who you are, what you’re good at and the value you bring, not just within your company but increasingly beyond it.

That doesn’t mean constantly promoting yourself or trying to be the loudest person in the room. It means making sure the work you’ve done and the value you bring are actually visible to the people who matter.

Because talent can open doors, but people need to know what you bring to the table in the first place.

Stop carrying opinions that were never yours to hold.

That thing someone said about you last week?

Why is it still bothering you?

It’s easy to take criticism personally, especially when it comes from someone whose opinion matters to us.

But sometimes, what people say about you has less to do with you and more to do with their own experiences, expectations and perspectives.

Never just be yourself online.

Because how you show up with your closest friends isn’t necessarily how you should show up in a job interview, a boardroom or in front of an audience.

That doesn’t mean pretending to be someone you’re not. It means understanding the context you’re in and knowing which version of yourself the moment calls for.

For Georgina Chang, Executive Presence and Public Speaking Mentor, it’s not simply about being yourself, but being the best version of yourself for that context.

And after decades of working with some of Singapore’s most recognisable personalities, she knows a thing or two about how people show up and how they’re remembered.
