What we want instead, is to work hard and enjoy the result.

Expect to learn why distinguishing short and long-term goals is crucial, how to control dopamine for ongoing motivation, and overcoming self-doubt.

You will gain a new perspective, practical tips, and an understanding of how to apply this mindset in different areas of your life. Tune in to find out how you, too, can enjoy the marshmallow while achieving your goals.

Hey there! 👋🏻 I'm Venus.
I'm a music therapist (RMT, NMT) based in Sydney, Australia.
I share my journey as an accountant-turned music therapist who struggled in her quarter-life crisis and eventually found the north star 🌟 in life.

You will find music, mindset and well-being content on this channel. I also love making handpan covers. I sometimes vlog about my life and personal development journey too. I hope my music and my stories inspire you to go after the life you want :)
