SELF care-ISH: A Show About You SELF care-ISH
-
- Society & Culture
Welcome to self care-ish. A podcast about divorce, dating, the decision to not-date, and just doing-you.
The goal for this series is to defy some of the social stigmas and hurdles people face when they make bold decisions that say ‘ok, I deserve this’.
Whether it is to leave a relationship, quit a job, take a leap of faith and move overseas, or even being brave enough to tell friends and family ‘no’ when you’re at capacity and need time for you.
And being totally okay with that.

‘They Tried To Ruin My Life’: Surviving Stalking With Author Nicole Madigan
Nicole Madigan is a journalist who found herself at the mercy of a stalker after going through a painful divorce. She met a great guy, started dating him and then the messages would start.
Over years she would be sent hundreds of viscous personal attacking texts calling her a ‘rat’ abusing her swearing at her. Threatening her. And even going so far as to contact her family, friends, AND her ex husband.
It’s all documented in her book ‘Obsession” A journalist And Victim-Survivor's Investigation Into Stalking
And when i say it’s a gripping read, I mean it.

WHAT IS SELF care-ISH ALL ABOUT?
It's okay to take care of yourself. And it's definitely okay to seek help when you need it. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty or selfish for wanting to be happy. You deserve it—friend I haven't met yet. -
'Are You Abandoning Your Creativity In Exchange For Validation?'
I was recently interviewed on Eli Vasquez’s Self hype podcast (link here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-self-hype-podcast/id1498088925?i=1000658036979). One of things I touched on was the feeling that when I finally got into dating that I felt like I was a politician running some kind of campaign. Feeling hyper aware of how I was being perceived, which is always a recipe for self-censorship.
It turns out there's a reason for it and it's not just me feeling this way...

If you’ve looked around at the world, or your life, especially during times when things aren’t, let’s say, going tickety-fricken boo and thought—well f*ck, how do I fix this.
This episode is for you.
But not because it’s a silver bullet for your life’s trials and tribulations. Trust me if I could do that for you, I would.

'Where Have All The Divorce Ranches Gone?' With Creator Mel 'That Weird Girl' Zee
Damn this episode is all over the shop mostly because it’s an interview with a creator I’ve been following for a long time.
Her name’s Mel Zee, she’s also known as Sorry I Brought It Up on TikTok.
Which seems to be where you find a lot of the most talented humans these days.
Mel’s talent? Staring down the barrel of her camera lens and just dropping megawatt truth and weird pop culture bombs into your algorithm.
Whether she’s talking about dealing with anger (that we need to normalise being angry, especially as women), or dating faux woke guys, or pondering the nuances of the OJ Simpson trial.
And it is a fucking talent. And she’s blowing up because of it.
But I invited her on this season to speak about one topic in particular: divorce ranches.

How To Rediscover YOU: Reclaiming Your Identity
It's the rebuilding your life post-breakup/breakdown thats interesting to me. And I didn’t have an interview lined up for you this week but honestly, when I’m listening to podcasts, I LOVE the solo one and one episodes.
There’s no muss, no fuss, just someone I like telling me things I am interested in learning about.
And that’s what I’m hoping to do for you today on this short solo ep.
Because today we’re talking about Reclaiming your identity back. The why you should revel in the process and how to do it.

Unpacking Your 'Stuff' With Author Jonathan Seidler
Writer Jonathan Seidler absolutely believes there’s beauty in your most heart wrenching breakups and he’s written a novel to prove it.
If you read Esquire or The Guardian, if you’re into music, if you came up in the era of Vice magazine, or if you’ve kept half an eye on the Australian literary scene then the name Jonathan Seidler will resonate with you pretty strongly.
His first novel, ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’, became a phenomenon for its honest, funny, and heartbreaking portrayal of men, memory, family, love, death.
And he always does it with a sly dose of humour. Because isn’t that the best way to travel through life?
In this chat we cover a lot of ground. Divorce, dating apps, foxes having sex.
A chat with Jonno is never just a quick chat. You can’t help but go deep on things. It’s the writer way!
Enjoy! x
