A podcast and community dedicated to help you bridge the gap between your ambition and wellbeing. We push back against the #teamnosleep and ‘never let them see you sweat’ narratives by unraveling perceptions of success to help you create a life that feels great for YOU instead of one that looks great to others.
Social media has a way of teasing you into believing that you know someone, but behind every photo is a story.
Unseen stories of growth and grace.
Join host Chivon John as she goes behind the scenes of the social media highlight reels of creatives, side hustlers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs and more to share honest and relatable truths about self care, resilience and creating a life that feels great for YOU instead of one that looks great to others.

Meet your Host
Hi I’m Chivon! I’m a Wellness and Self-Care Advocate, Podcast Host and Entrepreneur devoted to helping you cultivate bridge the gap between your ambition and wellbeing.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats as a wellness and mental health advocate, side hustle cheerleader and entrepreneur. But the common message present in each role was this – take care of yourself, so you can take care of business. Today my mission is to help ambitious “doers” shift focus away from hustling for worthiness – aka living up to the empty societal measures of success to instead put emotional wellbeing front and centre in life, career and business.
I created the Filtered Perceptions podcast to challenge perceptions of ‘success’ (money, power and followers) to reveal what really comprises a life of more meaning and purpose.
