Welcome to UN/DO - the podcast where we rethink work, rest, and play. Hosted by Dulcie and Yemisi, this season is all about unlearning the rules we’ve been handed and doing life on our terms. If you’re done shrinking, settling, or running on fumes…you’re in the right place.
This week, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime: knowing yourself. Self-awareness is often treated like a nice-to-have, a soft skill, or something you figure out along the way. But in reality? It’s the foundation for everything - work, relationships, rest, purpose, and clarity.
This episode unpacks what it really means to know yourself, why so many of us get stuck chasing answers outside of ourselves, and how to start coming home to your own voice again.
In this episode:
Why self-awareness is the most underrated growth strategy
The difference between introspection and overthinking
How to stop outsourcing clarity and start tuning in
What Mo Gawdat’s story can teach us about identity, grief, and growth
Our signature UN/DO practice - one thing to unlearn, one thing to do differently
