What 5+ Years of OneUp Taught Me about Growth, Money & Purpose

After 5.5 years, 400 episodes, and a journey that started with a Kiwisaver convo during my PwC internship... I’m officially wrapping up The OneUp Project.

This episode is a reflective goodbye — sharing the real reason I’m ending the pod, the unexpected lessons it taught me, and why pressing pause can be a power move. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just joined, this one’s from the heart. Thank you for growing with me 💛 🔑

What we discussed: 

• Why I started The OneUp Project and how it shaped my 20s
• Navigating creative burnout and knowing when it’s time to step away
• Lessons that stuck from 5+ years of conversations with incredible humans
• The mindset shifts that changed my life – financially, personally, and emotionally
• Why trusting people, taking risks, and staying curious will take you further than anything else
• Embracing uncertainty and letting go of the sunk cost fallacy
• What’s next, and how I’m learning to live into this new season fully
