From a Girl's Girl

We have boyfriend lists. Husband lists. Deal-breakers. Non-negotiables. But have you ever stopped to think about what you actually want in a friend?
As we get older, making friends becomes more complicated. Proximity and shared interests might have been enough when we were younger, but adult friendships often require something deeper.
In this episode, I talk about being more intentional about the friendships we build and ask:
Are you friends because you're genuinely compatible or because you enjoy the activity that brought you together?
I explore friendships standards and non-negotiables, friendships built on alcohol and partying, trauma bonded friendships, the role of shared interests and proximity, and whether loneliness can cause us to lower our standards.

Have you looked at your vision board recently and realised your life looks nothing like your vision board? Somewhere between January and now life happened. It didn't check your calendar, ask if you have capacity, or wait until you had accomplished your goals. It just happened.
Same.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop seeing delayed dreams as failure, how to re-strategise after life throws unexpected challenges, and how we can still finish the year strong.

Have you ever met someone who felt amazing simply because they did everything your ex didn’t?
Maybe they communicate better. Maybe they’re more affectionate. Maybe they’re emotionally available. Suddenly, it feels like you’ve finally found “the one.”
But what if what you’re feeling isn’t compatibility… it’s relief?
In this episode, I talk about how the pain from our previous relationships can quietly influence who we choose next. Sometimes the qualities we were deprived of become the only things we evaluate, causing us to overlook compatibility, values, boundaries, and the bigger picture.
I explore how deprivation can cloud our judgment.

Society makes many women feel as though being a lover girl is something to be ashamed of.
We're told wanting love is a distraction. That yearning for connection makes us naive. And after heartbreak, we're often encouraged to become detached, nonchalant, and emotionally unavailable in the name of self-preservation. In this episode I talk about embracing your quality of being a lover girl and not seeing it as a curse that always leads to heartbreak.
If you're a lover who has been embarrassed for wanting love, judged for loving wholeheartedly or pressured to become something you're not in order to avoid getting hurt...this episode is for you, Lover Girl.

In this episode, I talk about how healing culture can sometimes make us feel like we need to become “better” before we deserve love.
Many of us start healing after heartbreak, disappointment, or unhealthy relationships, but somewhere along the way, healing can quietly become tied to the hope of finally being chosen correctly.
We begin believing that if we heal enough, love will finally stay. If we become emotionally intelligent enough, self-aware enough, feminine enough, disciplined enough, then maybe we’ll finally experience the relationship we’ve been waiting for.
But what happens when healing becomes less about peace and more about preparing for a future reward?
Maybe healing was never meant to make us perfect. Maybe it was meant to help us abandon ourselves less while experiencing life as human beings
