Business, Vulnerability & Men’s Mental Health

This episode explores business, vulnerability, and men’s mental health. We talk about building a business from a place of authenticity rather than expectation. The impact of shifting gender roles in relationships. And how some men can feel disconnected or unsure of their place when women are independent and holding a lot - emotionally, practically, and financially. We also speak openly about vulnerability. About how it’s ok to struggle. And why allowing ourselves to not be ok can be a powerful step towards healthier relationships and a healthier sense of self. An honest conversation about identity, pressure, and learning to show up as you are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Resentment, Independence & Questioning Your Childhood

In this episode, Holly and I open up about what it’s really like to grow up in a chaotic or toxic environment and how becoming independent far too young shapes you as an adult. We talk about the long-term impact of having to figure things out on your own, how those patterns can follow you into parenthood, and what it brings up emotionally when you’re raising children without the model you needed yourself. We also explore the evolving relationship with your own parents - the distance, the confusion, the grief, and the complex feelings that come with trying to build a healthier life than the one you grew up in. It’s an honest and vulnerable conversation for anyone navigating generational healing. If you enjoyed this episode... Subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who might relate.

Parenting Authenticity, Communication & Narcissism

In this episode, I’m joined by the lovely Julia for a deeply honest conversation about parenting authenticity, the complexity of communication, and the hidden dynamics of narcissistic relationships. We explore what it means to raise children who feel safe to be their authentic selves, how communication often has multiple layers and how easily meaning can get lost in translation. We also talk about the deep insecurity that often drives narcissistic behaviour, and how misunderstood victims can be by those who haven’t experienced these relationships firsthand. This is a grounded, heart-led discussion for anyone interested in emotional awareness, self-development, and authentic connection.
