Kittens, Mexico And An App Around Update

If you’ve ever wondered how a tiny ball of fur could flip your life upside down, you’re in good company. In this episode, we explore life lessons from a kitten that’s become quite the zen master, share why Mexico is a universal rite of passage, and give a peek into my Tasmanian devil world that keeps me on my toes.

You’ll hear about my recent experiences—some thrilling, some reflective—and how they all fit together. We’ll chat about how a kitten’s wide-eyed perspective can shift your own. We’ll look at Mexico’s pull for many of us at some stage, and we’ll touch on the whirlwind pace of life that sometimes feels like we’re wrestling a mini tornado. This episode is a personal update that got me thinking about how we grow through everyday moments.

Lessons from a Tiny Kitten

My life with a new kitten has been full of unexpected insights. Every morning she’s bouncing around, marching through the house with that unstoppable sense of curiosity. She’s got no time for overthinking—she sees a shadow and it’s game on.

I’ve noticed that she doesn’t hold back. She doesn’t worry about whether she’ll catch her toy. She simply tries. Watching her made me think about how often I hesitate or second-guess myself. Sometimes jumping in is the best option, even if you’re not 100 percent sure how it’ll go.

“The best teacher in my world right now is a tiny kitten who doesn’t even know how to tie its own shoelaces.”

This kitten reminds me to stay playful, let go of perfection, and celebrate small wins. There’s a comfort in knowing life can be that simple for a while. You might not turn chasing shadows into your new pastime, but giving yourself permission to leap can open surprising doors.

Why Mexico Draws Us All

You might be thinking, “Why is Mexico the place that so many people visit at some point?” There’s something about Mexico that’s universal. It’s not just the vibrant food or beautiful landscapes—it’s the feeling you get when you step outside your comfort zone.

Travel can give you new eyes. You start paying attention to details, tasting spices you’d never try back home, and following spontaneous ideas. Mexico seems to make those moments feel more alive. For many of us, it’s that first big trip we plan for ourselves, or the spot we pick when we crave a dose of somewhere completely different.

It’s also a lesson in humility and open-mindedness. You realise there’s much more out there beyond your own lounge or home office. When you see how others celebrate, how they connect with family, and how they navigate daily life, you can’t help but bring some of that warmth back with you. It’s not always about where we go, but what changes in us when we’re there.

My Tasmanian Devil Whirlwind

If you’ve ever watched a Tasmanian devil spinning around in cartoons, you’ll have a glimpse of my life these days. Between juggling work, passion projects, and staying present for my family and friends, it can get wild. There’s something exhilarating about that pace, and it can also feel like a heavy wave crashing now and then.

I’ve been trying to remember to slow down before I step into full-on spin mode. One strategy that’s helped is simply taking a breath and asking myself:

• Do I really need to do all these tasks now?
• What would happen if I let one or two things wait?
• How can I say “no” without feeling guilty?

Sometimes I’ll still do too much, but I’m learning that victory can be as simple as noticing your limits. If you think of yourself as the Tasmanian devil, find a moment each day to pause. Grab a pen, scribble down a few key to-dos, and put the rest on hold if you can.

A Quick Catch-Up

This episode isn’t just about kittens or exotic getaways—it’s a moment to pause and reflect on the bigger picture. We talked about growth through tiny but memorable experiences, stepping out of our bubbles to discover new places, and finding calm even in chaos.

It’s been a season of change and curiosity. The kitten’s unconditional energy reminds me of the value in just being present. Mexico’s pull shows that it’s never too late to explore something new. And my own whirlwind days remind me that juggling everything isn’t always the answer, but small shifts in perspective can make a massive difference.
