I Killed My Cactus

Hello & welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's messy bits and laugh about it. On the outside, EVERYONE looks like they're smashing it.

Hello and welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free pod where we yap about life's messy bits and laugh about it. 🌵 This is a very 'real-talk' and vulnerable episode from me. But, gotta mix in some self-deprication and lighten the f*ck up so the episode is aptly named 'things stopping me from ending it all' especially as life/business is testing me rn. If you're also feeling like this, DM me on @kille...

Hello and welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's messy bits, and laugh about it. 🌵 Today we're chatting all things mistakes and life lessons.

Welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's messy bits and laugh about it. So I know the (dreaded) Valentine's Day is looming and you might be feeling a bit down in le dumps, wondering why you're "cursed" or "still single". BUT I think we should flip the narrative. Being single are some of the most underrated and BEST moments of your life in my (unbiased) opinion and we...

Welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free cactus where we yap about life's messy bits and laugh about it. 🌵 Ngl queens, I'm feeling so bloody TIRED but this is a topic very much on my mind & thought I needed to comment on in live in action while it's (semi) fresh in my mind.

Welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's messy bits and laugh about it. Sooo I'm going to a wedding this weekend, and it got me thinking... what is the right etiquette?! I've got a dozen questions about weddings – which was once a far-away dream conversation, and now very much a reality. I'm also going to the event solo (as per usual) and this is adding a wee bit of...

Hey lil cactus 🌵 We have made it through another week, fan-flippin-tastic. I'm literally counting the days until Christmas because ya gal is T I R E D. Anywho, this episode is all the stuff I wish I knew before my 20s (and things I'm still learning to navigate). It's a mix of fun & light-hearted but also some deep chats. I cut the list off at 14 things, but honestly, there's probably a part 2...

Hey hey my little cactus! A social media trend that is ACTUALLY pretty illuminating is the 'deinfluencing you...' one. So, I'm sharing a few (vulnerable and deeply honest) normal-ish examples that I think a lot of you will resonate with. The fact is, social media is the 1% of life and you only have a snapshot of it. But the other 99% is well... fairly average tbh. As always, please like, subscribe...
