In this episode, I delve into how emotional pain, particularly after a breakup, can reshape our behaviour and sense of self. From drinking to distract ourselves, to changing our appearance, or chasing the same person in a different body, heartbreak can push us into survival patterns that often masquerade as personality. I explore the danger of romanticising the past, and how hope can quietly hold us hostage, and the slow journey of finding ourselves again.

Bestie-To-Bestie: My Financial Grooming Story
We're officially a year old!! YAAAAY! Cheers to us! In this episode, I talk to you as if I am talking to my best friend. I share a personal story of how I recently escaped a financial grooming trap that could have led to an abusive relationship. I also discuss how being an impressionable woman can make you vulnerable to manipulation tactics such as financial grooming. Financial grooming: a form of manipulation where someone creates a false sense of trust and security by offering access to money or gifts in an attempt to gain control of the person's financial decisions, thus leading to psychological, emotional, or financial abuse.IG: fromagirlsgirl

NEGGING: The Universal Language of Insecurity
Hi guys! In this episode, I'm unpacking NEGGING, how it's often mistaken for flirting in romantic situations, disguised as "constructive criticism" and/or "praise" at work, and even dressed up as "support" in friendships.NEGGING is a subtle form of manipulation used to gain psychological control, making you feel like you constantly have to prove your worth. I also share a personal story about how my boundaries protected me from a relationship that could've had me right back in therapy twice a week!IG: @fromagirlsgirl

There is No Shame in Things Not Working Out
In this episode, I talk about the shame that surfaces whenever something- be it a business, career move, passion project or relationship- doesn't go as planned. Shame hurts because it isn't only about what failed; its about the stories we tell ourselves afterward. And as you'll hear, failure can be the very spark that ignites a brand-new beginning. If something doesn't work out, something else will!
