When the world feels like it's unravelling, sometimes the most grounding thing you can do is look up.

This week I sit back down with my personal astrologer Luke Balcke for a conversation that is equal parts cosmic as it is confronting. Luke is one of the most gifted readers I have ever encountered and this episode is a masterclass in why astrology is so much more than your daily horoscope.

We cover the astrology behind the current global chaos, why the times we're living in were written in the stars long before they showed up in our news feeds, and what Pluto's move into Aquarius really means for power, systems and the future of humanity. They also get into faith, uncertainty, community, and what it means to stay anchored in yourself when everything around you is shifting.

I had Luke on the podcast in December 2025 (look up episode 136 - "Your urgent warning for 2026 - Astrological Forecast Ahead) - where he, basically to the day, predicted the exact times we are in now. He simply always says "the skys never lie".

This episode goes in to wider theological & philosophical conversations, I detour into the bigger meaning behind the war whilst asking Luke what is the play - & then Luke surprised me in the last 15 minutes by giving play by play predictions to the date (give or always take a week) on the serious global issues to come.

It is, as always, an episode not to be missed but I would encourage listening discretion the last 15-20 minutes if you are someone who stresses or gets anxiety easily. There's some pretty serious & big predictions in there.

This is the conversation most women are too afraid to have out loud.

I sit down with the incredible Leslie Kaye, businesswoman, mother, wife, and unapologetic truth-teller, for one of the most raw, honest and potentially activating episodes to ever land on Anything Goes.

Lezley's story starts where so many women's do: following the plan. Married by thirty. Baby by thirty-two. Million dollar business. The bougie office with river views. The life that looked exactly like success from the outside.. but felt completely suffocating from within.

What followed was one of the bravest unravellings I have gotten to hear on the podcast. Lezley walked into her house one day, told her husband to leave, and began the long, messy, beautiful journey back to herself, through breathwork, tantra, plant medicine, an Egypt pilgrimage, and eighteen months of radical self-reclamation. All while raising a son. All while running a business. All while learning, for the first time in thirty-two years, how to actually feel.

In this episode, we go deep on the questions most women are too afraid to ask themselves, let alone answer out loud.

We talk about the motherhood martyrdom myth and why losing yourself in your children is not noble, it's harmful. We go deep in to the compromise lie, the story we tell ourselves to stay in relationships, jobs and versions of ourselves we outgrew years ago.

We also cover what it actually means to choose yourself when you're a mother, and why that choice is the greatest gift you can give your child and we get into sexuality, polarity, and what it really means to come home to yourself as a woman. And they speak to the woman who is standing in front of her mirror right now, lightning bolt moment building, terrified of what choosing herself might unravel.

This episode is not here to make you comfortable. It's here to make you honest.

If you've ever sacrificed your happiness in the name of being a good mother, a good wife, or a good woman - this one's for you.

Some episodes are planned. This one was lived.

After seven weeks of silence, I've returned with my favourite guest, the King, aka Ryan, with an episode I hoped I'd never have to record.

This is 90 minutes of raw, unfiltered truth about what it looked like to walk through the hardest season of my life - and Ryans perspective on what it looked like to hold all of that.

In this episode, we speak openly about navigating IVF, the hope, the injections, the waiting, the appointments, the version of yourself you become in the trying. And then the loss. The successful implantation then loss of our first fresh transfer.

I also heart breakingly go in to the loss of Zeus. My soul dog of eleven years. Eleven years of unconditional love, morning cuddles, and quiet companionship. Gone.

Two losses, one week. No roadmap. No silver lining to rush toward.

This episode is about what it actually looks and feels like when grief doesn't wait its turn, when life asks you to hold more than you thought you were built to carry, and you do it anyway, together.

If you've ever lost a pregnancy, a pet, a dream, a version of yourself you were counting on - this one's for you.
