Melatations

In this entry, I share what I’m learning about love in all its forms. The practice of actually stopping myself from avoiding it, choosing instead to surrender (or at least trying to). I talk about the patterns that shaped how I’ve given and received love, the fears that made me hold back. It’s an honest reflection on softening, trusting, and remembering that being loved is just as sacred as loving...

In this entry, I open up about what I call the Dark Night of the Ego —those moments when old patterns, fears, and identities creep back in and try to pull me under. I share how I recognise when ego is steering the narrative, the subtle ways it disguises itself as truth, and what I must confront before it takes me whole. This is an honest reflection on self-awareness, surrender, and the ongoing pra...

In this entry, I touch on my first experience with plant medicine. The expectations, ego deaths, and the quiet truths that came after. It wasn’t what I thought it would be, but it opened me in ways I didn’t ask for, but somehow deeply needed. This is a story of death and rebirth, of continuing to lose who I thought I was, and of figuring out who I am becoming. No mysticism, no gloss. Just a little...

In this episode, I share a moment from the middle of it all — the part where I’m letting go of who I used to be and figuring out what balance looks like now. It’s a strange space to sit in… something old is falling away, but the new hasn’t fully landed yet. This is me, in the thick of it — trying to stay honest, stay soft, and keep moving forward.  If you’re also in transition, this one’s for you....

Ever looked at life’s so-called timeline and thought, “Nah, not for me”? This is about ditching the scripted milestones, jumping between possibilities, and throwing yourself into deep, unexpected encounters. It’s about the magic that happens when you stop living for the ‘right time’ and start living for your time. No more subscribing to someone else’s idea of success—just pure, unfiltered adventur...

Perfectionism has held me back from so much—not because I wasn’t capable, but because I was too afraid to mess up and disappoint myself. My new public venture has forced me to face that fear head-on, and in doing so, I’ve felt a shift—towards growth, self-trust, and actually living. In this episode, I unpack what’s changed, how I’m learning to take up space without hesitation, and why moving forwa...

In this episode, I uncover the surprising difference between feelings and emotions—realising that emotions are the nouns we hold onto, while feelings are the verbs that allow us to process them. This is a new perspective for me, and I’m just beginning to shift from talking through emotions to feeling through them. It’s a learning curve, but one that’s helping me rethink how I store and release emo...

In this storytime episode, I share a chance encounter that felt like a nudge from the universe—a reminder to say 'yes,' slow down and trust the magic in everyday moments.

It’s an unfiltered conversation about personal growth, mindfulness, and setting intentions for the future. Join us for this inspiring and thought-provoking epis...

Fear: it's the voice in your head that keeps you small, stuck and unsatisfied. In this episode, I get real about how fear has controlled my decisions, why perfectionism has held me back, and what it takes to step into the discomfort zone. I’m leaving fear behind in 2024—and I’m inviting you to do the same. If you’ve ever felt afraid to show up, mess up, or push past your limits, this one’s fo...

In this episode, I tell the story of what it was like losing my dad in my 20s. It’s a raw reflection on my grief—how I navigated it then and how I’m still learning to live with it now. There are moments where I get a bit emotional, but it’s all part of sharing my truth. As we are in the festive period, a time often around togetherness and family, I want to acknowledge those who might find this sea...

In this episode, I’m talking about how I try to stick to my goals whilst navigating societal norms and the constant lure of short-term gratification.

In this episode, I open up about my personal experience with addiction and the decision to let go of the things that no longer serve me. It’s not an easy conversation to have, but it’s one I feel is necessary to share. I dive into my struggles with disordered eating and the shame I’ve carried. I also reflect on the bittersweet process of letting go of the version of myself that alcohol allowed me...

In this short episode, I’m reflecting on something we all forget sometimes: how lucky we are to have a body. Life moves fast, but those simple moments—like doing a cartwheel or travelling independently—are everything. It’s about enjoying what you have right now while also making small, intentional choices that set you up for the future. I'll talk about how I’m trying to appreciate the here an...
