Hi, you've got mail from me, Bella 💌 This week, we're talking about something that might sound a little controversial: why I've never had a five-year plan. For as long as I can remember, I've had ideas, dreams, and directions I thought my life might take, but I've never had a detailed roadmap. Instead, I've tried to trust my instincts, stay open to opportunities, and remind myself that future me...

Hi! You've Got Mail from me, Bella 💌 This week, we're talking about the importance of actually living your life. Not constantly thinking about how to maximise your productivity. We're chatting about recognising that your life is happening right now, finding joy in the everyday, prioritising the things that make you feel alive, and why creating a monthly bucket list might be one of the simplest wa...

HI! 💌 You've got mail from me, Bella. This week, we're talking about the beauty of the long road. The jobs that took longer to land, the dreams that didn't happen overnight, and the lessons that only come from waiting. If life isn't moving as quickly as you'd hoped, consider this your reminder that slow doesn't mean wrong. Make sure you're following me on Ig and TT @mailfrombella Love Bellla Lear...

Welcome back to You’ve Got Mail 💌You’ve got mail from me, Bella, and this week we’re talking about the villainisation of the 9–5, the reality of being a content creator, and why I honestly think there are pros and cons to both. In a world where everyone online seems to be chasing freedom, soft mornings, and self-employment, I wanted to have a more honest conversation about work, ambition, stabili...

Hi! You've got mail from me, Bella, and this week we're chatting about the best piece of life advice I've ever been given. Specifically, it's productivity advice that's genuinely changed how I approach my to-do list: if you have time now, just do the thing now, because you don't know how your time will look in the future. Make sure you're following me on Instagram and TikTok @mailfrombella, and I...

Hi! You’ve got a voicemail from me, Bella, and this week I am exposing myself and chatting about why failing my A-level chemistry and having to go through clearing was actually the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has led me on a path that I would never have chosen for myself, but a path that has brought me so much joy. Make sure you’re following me on Instagram and on TikTok @mailfromb...

Hi! You’ve got mail from me, Bella 💌 This week, we’re talking all about long-distance relationships. After someone wrote into my Substack advice column asking for help, it reminded me just how hard they can be. I see so many people starting long-distance, and just as many people ending things because of it—but not nearly enough stories about making it through. So, as someone who’s now living with...

Hi, you’ve got mail 💌 This week we’re discussing how being lucky is a mindset, and how, once you decide things are going to go your way, they often start to. We’re talking about mindset shifts, positive thinking, confidence, manifestation, self-belief, and how changing your perspective can help you attract better opportunities, relationships, and experiences. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unlucky...

Hi, you’ve got mail from me, Bella 💌 In this week’s episode of You’ve Got Mail, we’re discussing exam stress, anxiety, and how to cope during exam season. As someone who has sat GCSEs, A-Levels, a degree, and a Master’s, I’ve had my fair share of exams. I wish I were one of those cool, calm, collected people who never get bothered, but truthfully, I’ve always been an anxious wreck walking into th...

Are you living your life… or just sticking to the plan? In a world that glorifies routines, productivity, and having everything “figured out,” it’s easy to fall into a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t actually feel good to live. The early mornings, the to-do lists, the habits, the structure, when did they start running you? In this episode, we’re talking about the fine line between discip...

Hi! You’ve got mail from me, Bella 💌 This week’s episode is all about productivity, burnout, and why we’re so hard on ourselves. If you’ve been feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, or like you’re never doing enough, this is for you. We’re talking about realistic productivity, letting go of perfectionism, and how to build a routine that actually feels good to live. If you want to write into the advic...

For years, I used to dread Valentine’s Day. I told myself it was superficial, overhyped, and proof that love shouldn’t be reduced to one day. But looking back, I don’t think I hated the holiday — I think I hated how performative love felt in my early twenties. In this episode, I’m talking about performative romance, social media relationships, and the pressure to express love in ways that look imp...

In this episode of You’ve Got Mail, we’re unpacking the pressure of success in your twenties — from promotions and salary expectations to comparison, productivity guilt, and the fear of falling behind. When we were younger, success felt simple: work hard, get the result. But adulthood doesn’t work like that. And when your self-worth is tied to outcomes you can’t fully control, it’s exhausting. If...

You’re working hard. You’re doing “all the right things.” So why does success still feel slightly out of reach? In this episode of *You’ve Got Mail*, we’re unpacking the pressure of success in your twenties — from promotions and salary expectations to comparison, productivity guilt, and the fear of falling behind. When we were younger, success felt simple: work hard, get the result. But adulthood...

Returning to London always makes me think of the 22-year-old version of me who moved there with no real plan, no clear sense of who she was, and no idea how life in her twenties was supposed to look. She built a life for herself from scratch — navigating uncertainty, independence, and self growth all on her own. Every time I revisit, I’m reminded of how brave I was back then. How doing the thing t...

After watching Hamnet, I couldn’t stop thinking about grief — not as something isolating, but as one of the most deeply shared human experiences we have. In this episode, I talk about how grief shows up in quiet, unexpected ways, how loss connects us more than it separates us, and why stories like Hamnet can make us feel less alone in our pain. We explore the idea that grief is love with nowhere t...
