    Are you taking life too seriously?

    Do you feel exhausted, overthinking and are rehearsing conversations that haven't even happened yet? Girl, we have all been there. I had to check myself just over a week ago about being too serious, always bracing for the worst outcome. Can you relate? I'm here to tell you in this week's episode that being too serious is a learnt habit, and you can change it. This one is intentionally short, just 18 minutes and 41 seconds, because with the tools I share in this solo episode I want you to get back out there and start experiencing life again. Life was never meant to be this boring. Serious is just a persona we created to keep ourselves safe. Take the 5 question quiz over on our Instagram to see how serious you've gotten. I love connecting with all you amazing women ❤️. Please leave me a review, a comment, or come follow me over on ⁠Instagram⁠.

    I'm Putting Myself First: Nicole Lucas on How to Build Self-Worth and Stop Toning Yourself Down

    If you've ever toned yourself down to make other people comfortable, this episode will have you in a choke hold. Nicole Lucas — fashion editor turned content creator, label owner and mum of three, grew up with barely any self-worth. We sit down and get into how she built it from nothing, and why she now says her career comes second and living her life and her kids are her priorities. We talk about how motherhood changed the way she sees herself, dressing loudly in a country where most people dress the same, the money lessons that came with running her own brand, and the 'trust-the-universe' side of her that has really supported her during times when she's wanted to cling onto control. If you've been shrinking your laugh, your opinions, YOURSELF Nicole is proof you can stop it!

    For Anyone Grieving A Suicide Or Quietly Struggling Themselves

    Trigger warning: this episode talks about suicide and suicidal feelings. If today isn't the day, skip this one. I really mean that. I'm not a psychologist. This is just my experience. But we don't talk about this, and the silence is part of the problem. So I wanted to create an episode where we could talk about it safely with one another. I lost a friend to suicide recently. This episode is me sharing that grief. It's also me sharing what it was like when I was the one struggling, because I've been there, and I know how hard it is to explain the feelings from the inside. If you've lost someone, I hope this helps you stop asking why and just miss them. If you're the one struggling right now, I made this also for you. And if you are a friend or a family member who wants to support someone who is currently struggling, I hope this episode finds you.

    Making Friends in Your 30s (And Letting Go Without the Guilt)

    We've all been there, in a different life stage than our friends, feeling like you don't relate to them the way you used to. And as women, we carry so much guilt for wanting new ones. We quietly pull back from people whose company we've outgrown (not so quietly to the person we're pulling away from). But why the guilt? We're told to write long lists of the man or the relationship we want to manifest but when do we stop and ask: what about the women I'm surrounding myself with? Do they serve me? Do they value me? It's totally okay to want new friends. This week Sophia shares what she's learnt from building new friendships in a new country, letting go of old ones even when the fear is loud, plus the tools that helped her cultivate friendships that actually feel aligned. 🌐 Connect with me ⁠⁠website⁠⁠ 📸 Come say hi on ⁠⁠Instagram
