Dive In Wonder

Como migrar me ha forjado como mujer?

(subs on YouTube) 
Al final del año pasado, en una audición, me pidieron responder a una pregunta que se me quedó viviendo por dentro: “¿Cómo me ha forjado la migración como mujer?”
Las reflexiones que despertó fueron tan profundas que decidí traerlas a Dive in Wonder. En este episodio hablo del viaje migratorio no solo como trámite o desplazamiento, sino como proceso de identidad, coraje y expansión interior.
En un momento social donde el discurso alrededor de la migración suele estar cargado de miedo, vuelvo a la experiencia humana detrás del movimiento: la curiosidad, el riesgo, la reinvención y la dignidad de buscar nuevos mundos — y nuevas versiones de una misma.
No dejen que les apaguen esa hambre de descubrir. El mundo es inmenso. Y este planeta es de todos. 🌍

Love in the Era of THE ICK: Are We Compromising or Settling? Red flag OR boundary? - Dive In Wonder with Sammy Allsop & Wesley Tan

In the era of The Ick… does compromise mean settling?And where’s the line between a red flag and a boundary?
In this chaotic, honest, and painfully relatable episode of Dive in Wonder, I sit down with besties Samantha Allsop and Wesley Tan to explore the emotional labyrinth of modern relationships: why we discard people so quickly, how childhood wounds shape our “ick radar,” and whether we actually lose ourselves before we even know who we are.
From snort-kisses to shadow boxing, bullying boyfriends (lovingly), social icks, glitter metaphors, and the very serious philosophical question: “How much of the ick am I to other people?” — this conversation dives into the messy continuum between quirks, icks, red flags, and genuine dealbreakers.
We talk compatibility, compromise, settling, why relationships feel transactional today, and what it means to listen to our guts vs our unhealthy attachments. 
It’s funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and weirdly clarifying — dive in.

Dive In Wonder with Samantha Allsop Pt2: How to Choose TRUE Friends and Creative Partners (agents)

In Part 2 of this special two-part conversation, I sit down with my soulmate- actress, director and model Samantha Allsop to reflect on the twists, turns, and redirections that come with chasing your wildest dreams, and we trace the quiet geography of an artist’s life—the turns we didn’t plan, the detours that became the path. In Part 2 we dive into how to listen to our bodies to choose friends, managers and understand WE DON'T OWE ANYONE ANY RELATIONSHIP. We go into getting to know ourselves through art and immigration; one of my most favourite dives.

Dive In Wonder with Samantha Allsop: Going off script, Rejection as a mentor and COVID immigration

In this special two-part conversation, I sit down with my soulmate- actress, director and model Samantha Allsop to reflect on the twists, turns, and redirections that come with chasing your wildest dreams, and we trace the quiet geography of an artist’s life—the turns we didn’t plan, the detours that became the path. Together, we open up about acting, modeling, rejection as a mentor, and how our COVID immigration reshaped our paths.
In Part One, Sammy shares how her childhood experiences carved the foundation of her artistic journey — moving through many disciplines like stepping stones, each one shaping her language as an artist, each one teaching her a different rhythm of resilience. We also explore the grief of leaving friends behind when life pulls you across borders, and how that ache becomes part of your storytelling.
It’s a heartfelt, unfiltered exchange about what it means to go “off script,” chase art across continents, and the courage return—again and again—home to ourselves.

The Art of Staying Sane (& Helpful?!) While Everyone’s Whispering WW3

When war headlines go viral, panic becomes the norm, and doomscrolling feels like activism — how do we stay human? How do we stay useful?In this episode, I unpack the rising anxiety around today’s political climate and the mental toll it takes on all of us. But instead of spiraling, we explore how to Trojan-horse our way into systems, how real change happens quietly (and cleverly), and why adding value beats adding noise.This is for anyone who feels everything but still wants to move with intention. Less ranting, more rebellion. Less panic, more purpose.

Dive In Wonder with Yemi Sul: Sex, Muses, Erotism, and the Art of Soul Recognition

In this conversation, I sit down with one of my favourite souls; Yemi's —actor, director, writer, model, DJ, and one of the most intentional and multidisciplinary artists I know. We talk about sex and erotism not just as acts but as languages of the body and spirit, about sexual health as part of self-awareness, and about how intuition becomes a map for recognising the people meant to build your vision with you.
We explore the idea of muses, the art of soul recognition, and the ways internalised racism can shape and limit creative freedom. We talk about hookups, not just for their pleasure but for their energetic costs, and what it means to practice helpful activism in a world addicted to performative change.
Yemisul speaks with a kind of poetry that feels necessary—carefully chosen words that land exactly where they need to. This is a conversation about the raw, often messy, always beautiful process of making art and meaning in our lives. It’s a love letter to life, to art, and to the muses that surround us—an invitation to stay open, pay attention, and let ourselves be moved by the light waiting in every moment.

Is Sabrina Carpenter a BAD feminist? BDSM & Domestic Violence

In this solo episode, we will dive into the backlash over Sabrina Carpenter’s new album cover and the rush to call her a “bad feminist.”
We explore how guilt is weaponized to police women’s sexuality, and why equating consensual sexual fetishes like BDSM with domestic violence is not just misguided but harmful.
I dig into the psychology behind moral superiority, projection, and why jealousy and being triggered can reveal parts of ourselves we haven't explored.
This is an invitation to question where our judgments come from—and to stay curious, even about our shadows.
If you've ever felt shamed, judged, or eager to judge, this one's for you.

Dive in Wonder with Cynthia Taylu: On Manifestation, Creative Multiplicity & the Roots of Confidence

In this episode, I sit down with the radiant Cynthia Taylu — powerhouse model, actress, and the voice behind Taylu Blog. Beyond her stunning presence in Australian fashion and media, Cynthia is a deeply intentional creator whose empathy seeps into everything she touches.
We dive into the complicated dance of defining ourselves by what we do, especially in industries like acting and modeling where visibility and validation often blur the lines of identity. We explore how social media shapes perception, and why a variety of women of colour on screen isn't just representation — it's expansion. It reshapes what we believe is possible in our art and in ourselves.
Cynthia opens up about what it means to take up space, walk into a room with confidence, and then come back to your truth when the noise gets loud. We talk about the creative process, the vulnerability behind writing, and how our greatest resources are often the artists beside us.
We also explore manifestation through the lens of neuroscience — how visualisation, attention, and the brain’s pattern-seeking nature can align to help us move toward the lives we imagine. Cynthia brings both heart and clarity to this conversation, grounded in experience and an unshakable belief in possibility.
She holds space in a way that makes you feel seen — whether through conversation, content, or simply her presence. This one’s for the storytellers, the self-doubters, the re-claimers, and anyone trying to navigate identity, artistry, and the power of intention.

Dive in Wonder with Yasmin Suteja: On Power, Musehood & Finding Your Creative Voice

In this episode, I sit down with my best friend and creative idol, Yasmin Suteja—a force of nature whose lens, both literal and metaphorical, continues to shape how I see the world.
Rooted in her Balinese and Greek heritage, Yasmin brings a rich, cross-cultural sensitivity to everything she touches—whether she’s directing behind the camera, stepping in front of it, or nurturing emerging talent through her company, Culture Machine. Her work spans from high-impact digital series (Heartbreak High, Rosaline’s Untaming) to the deeply personal, including her upcoming documentary Dying to Succeed, developed through AIDC’s Fresh Cuts.
This conversation is a deep, curious, and at times hilariously honest exploration of what it means to move between being a muse and a director, the tension of being seen while claiming authorship, and how curiosity acts as a compass for crafting an artistic voice that’s truly your own.
We speak about the influence of the Madonna–whore complex in storytelling and how it continues to shape the way women are perceived in creative spaces. Yas explores how being an extrovert has taught her that connection is possible with anyone—as long as you know how to ask the right questions. We reflect on the contradictions of beauty, the emotional gymnastics of inhabiting multiple archetypes, and the unspoken tension between being the object of a gaze and the one directing it.
Yas reveals how discomfort often reveals truth, and how the themes she revisits in her work—family, power, cultural blends—are not just artistic obsessions, but intimate reflections of her lived experience.
This episode is a love letter: to the women who lead with questions, to the artists who blur the line between subject and author, and to those brave enough to make meaning out of contradiction while shaping culture unapologetically.

Dive in Wonder with Wesley Tan: Therapist’s approach to Abusive Relationships, Empathy as a cage and Identity

In this vulnerable and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with therapist and dear friend Wesley Tan, a multidisciplinary creative who has spent his life studying humans — through psychology, storytelling, and the nuanced art of listening. Together, we explore the complex emotional terrain of abusive relationships, and how empathy, identity, and self-perception can quietly become the cages we live in.
This episode is especially close to home. Wes has helped me navigate some of the emotional aftermath of my own abusive relationship, and much of what we discuss comes from both lived experience and the therapeutic lens he so gently offers. It’s a conversation about the messy human parts — the things we feel long after we’ve left, and the questions we carry with us about who we are and how we love.
We talk about how acting naive can be a strategy to disarm conflict, and how truly caring sometimes means being willing to make things awkward. We unpack why intelligence or emotional insight doesn’t protect us from manipulation — and how being “too smart” can actually make us more susceptible, especially when our identity is tied to empathy, fixing, or understanding.
We also explore the cycle of rupture and repair — not just in relationships with others, but in the one we have with ourselves. From the discomfort of watching a friend go through abuse, to the isolation that often follows, to the profound reminder that everyone is ultimately their own saviour — this conversation holds a mirror up to the patterns we inherit, perform, and sometimes outgrow.
If you’ve ever lost yourself in someone else’s pain, felt trapped in your own empathy, or questioned who you are after walking away — this episode is for you.
