Do We Have to Settle Down? Popi Sibiya on Travel, Marriage & Being Choicefully Childfree

What happens when you stop building your life around the milestones you were told you should want  and start asking what you actually want instead?Travel creator and digital anthropologist Popi Sibiya has built a life defined by curiosity, adventure and a willingness to take the road less travelled — literally.Over drinks at the A2B Café, Popi and I talk about the choices that have shaped the life she lives today: travel, freedom, home, relationships, marriage, being child-free, taking risks and deciding what “enough” looks like when you’re not following the traditional blueprint.We get into what she was really searching for when she first started travelling, whether constant movement can ever become another comfort zone, the things she's learned about herself from seeing the world, and what it means to build a life that actually feels like your own.Because maybe there isn’t one right way to do womanhood. Maybe the real adventure is figuring out yours.🥂 This episode of According to B is powered by Bernini.✰ TIMESTAMPS✰01:00- Coming up01:18- Intro02:44- Bokang introduces Popi to A2B03:41- Game: The starter- for the plot22:31- The main: The conversation23:14- Who Popi was before the content25:12- Why Popi chose to teach english in China26:20- What prompted Popi to leave China and move back home29:48- The moment Popi realised being a travel creator could be a job33:22- How Popi decided to monetize her content34:50- Popi on comparing her life with other peoples37:20- Popi’s perspective on romantic relationships, marriage and kids48:03- Popi on whether she believes the man she wants exists51:12- Popi on living her dream life51:55- The realities of being a travel creator53:26- How sustainable The Popi Show is right now56:58- Advice for corporate version of Popi57:55- Popi’s message for the woman who doesn’t know what the next looks like59:48- Dessert:Popi is gifted her Bernini tote bag01:01:01-Outro✰ SOCIAL MEDIA ✰Bokang➜ Instagram: @sheisbokang-https://www.instagram.com/sheisbokang ➜ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheisbokang  The B Word➜ Instagram: @thebword_za -https://www.instagram.com/thebword_za ➜ Tik Tok: @thebwordza https://www.tiktok.com/@thebword_za GuestPopi➜ Instagram:@popi_sibiya--https://www.instagram.com/popi_sibiya➜TikTok: @popi_sibiya- https://www.tiktok.com/@popi_sibiya ✰ LISTEN ON ✰ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0XnqZ7b...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id5426930?...✰ BUSINESS INQUIRIES ✰E-mail: hello@thebwordmedia.com ✰ TEAM/CREDITS ✰Producer: Bokang Lehlokoe & Tshegetso Moepi Videography: Shutter ScopePost Production: Palesa Radebe
