This one’s for the moments when you feel like you’re crumbling under self-doubt — when you’re second-guessing, people-pleasing, or trying to soften your edges to be more palatable.

In this episode, I unpack what it really looks like to stand in your power, not the Pinterest-quote version, but the real, messy, inconvenient, deeply clarifying version. I talk about the fear that comes up when you’re finally backing yourself, the identity crisis that follows doing things differently, and how to hold your ground when you’re not for everyone (and don’t want to be).

If you’re ready to come home to yourself, this one’s for you bb. Tune in x

We’ve created a culture where every feeling is expected to fit into a tidy label, every connection into a clearly defined category, and every emotional response into a neat little box. But real life? It rarely works like that.

This episode is for the people who thought they were “fine” until they weren’t. For anyone who’s ever said “it’s casual” while quietly hoping it might be more. For those who’ve felt something meaningful in a moment that wasn’t meant to mean anything. It’s not just about dating, it’s about the emotional grey zones we live in when things don’t go the way we’d hoped, and how to sit with that instead of scrambling to fix, label, or deny it.

I talk about the power of honest communication, even when it’s vulnerable and confronting. The importance of letting yourself feel it before you rush to fix it. And how sometimes, the most empowering thing you can do is admit that your heart hurts a little… and not apologise for it.

This one’s equal parts voice note to a friend, emotional accountability checkpoint, and a loving reminder that you’re not alone in the mess.

What happens when you stop making their experience the main storyline and instead make it about yours?

This episode isn’t about a guy, it’s about what happened when I finally started taking my own advice.

It’s about showing up, messy, real, and emotionally sunburnt and being seen anyway.

It’s about remembering who the fuck you are in the mess.

Not just after you’ve cleaned it up.

We talk dating (yes), grief (again), the pull of polarity, and how letting someone in during your most vulnerable moment can actually be the beginning, not of a romance, necessarily, but of a reconnection to yourself.

Because your experience? IS valid, even if it was fleeting, even if it wasn’t reciprocated, even if they’re not your person.

If it changed YOU (good or bad) it counts.

And if you learnt from it, it’s yours…

…and that’s enough.

Show up as you.

Bruised, brilliant, unfinished, but you.

That’s when the good sh*t starts.
