Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend and managed to stay dry here in SA!

You know when you go to the bakery and get a meat pie and ask for sauce, and they give you two sauce packets instead of one?? Well, think of this extra episode of Extra Sauce as being the same as that. It's just a massive bonus!... Okay, that's me trying to be positive after I fucked up this week and mismanaged my time and had to postpone the guest episode. But please, enjoy this episode w...

Holy hell have I had a few unreal days! Seriously impressed and proud of a couple of things I've achieved by just getting the fuck out of my comfort zone and havin' a crack! I've spent years just happy sitting still and relaxing and it's no wonder my confidence with life has been so low. Have a listen to this weeks ep to hear me chat about public speaking and running a half mara an...

Excess screen time can be extremely detrimental to our mental and physical health. We are the most connected society in history but at the same time, we are the most disconnected as well. This week I have wasted so much time scrolling on TikTok, Insta and Twitter. It's so easy to just put the feet up on the couch and think "ah just 10 minutes on TikTok won't hurt"... next thing y...
