From a Girl's Girl

December romance is often romanticised as fun and flirtatious, but for many, the festive season comes with anxiety, disappointment, ghosting, and hard relationship truths. In this episode I unpack the realities of December romance: the unspoken rules, the festive personas we adopt, and why so many connections formed in December struggle to survive January. From premediated flings driven by fear of loneliness, to being the partner who doesn't get chosen for the holiday, this episode explores how scarcity mindset, alcohol, expectations, and festive pressure shape our dating decisions.

It's December! A whole lifestyle in South Africa, but before the vibes sweep us away, let's talk about why your 2026 goals should be set before January. In this episode, I talk about why the best time to set your goals isn't January, it's right now. December comes with vibes, chaos, bonuses, and a whole lifestyle of its own, but it's also the month where we lose momentum without even realising it. I share how planning my year before January completely shifted my 2025, how my vision board came to life, and why strategy matters more than aesthetics. Whether you had an amazing year or a painful one, this episode reminds you that your timeline is scared, your pace is valid, and you are not behind.

Too many women give up their dreams, lower their standards, or lose themselves trying to be chosen by men. In this episode, I talk about the importance of building your identity, your dreams, and your foundation before you build with a man. From societal pressure to timelines, to women abandoning their goals for relationships, I explore why prioritising yourself isn't selfish, but necessary. I dive into self-worth, standards, financial independence, emotional grounding, and why being single is no longer seen as a "tragedy". It's a reminder that men are additions, not definitions, and that the life you build for yourself will always be your greatest power.

We often talk about knowing our worth in romantic relationships, setting boundaries, walking away from mistreatment, and refusing to shrink ourselves just to be loved. But what happens when we forget to carry the same self-worth into our friendships?In this episode, I explore 'selective people pleasing' - when you've healed enough to have boundaries in relationships but still struggle to choose yourself in friendships. If you're tired of performing, overextending, or being the only one trying..this episode is for you. IG: fromagirlsgirl
