    S6: What is Life atm?! Anyone Else Feeling Lost? AUDIOVLOG

    Hi! Gosh, missed you all. First up: BIG SHOUT-OUT TO YOU. We hit 10k, all-time listens of The Mobile Mentor and I am JAZZED. 3 3 Here's to 10 more in half the time, haha!

    This week, a little diary entry for you (not a big life update 'cos I'm saving a juicy one for a cruise lowdown episode!). Here's what's been up lately; something feels off and I am tryna work out what it is...I'm at a crossroads feeling a bit direction-less. Anyone else?



    In this episode:

    -Judging how I feel as a I feel it–my unhealthy habit!!

    -All the conflicting messages online we're absorbing everyday... *sighs*

    -How the world is changing at a speed we've never experienced before (this is DEFO NOT good for us)

    -Time ticking as a 33-year-old woman, and not being sure about what my priorities are...

    -Where am I heading? And is how I'm spending my time rooted in what's meaningful to me?

    S6: How to Listen to Your Intuition & TRUST Yourself

    S6: How to Listen to Your Intuition & TRUST Yourself

    Intuition. It is SO important. And the older I get, the more I realise this. In the Western world, we aren't taught how to connect with it aka listen to ourselves. So, when I was younger I kinda went around 'thinking' a lot; doing what 'I should' do and what is 'valuable' (in society's terms). I guess I was ruled by the dominant culture and the 'norm' like many of us. BUT, here's what I have been doing for the last decade to LISTEN TO MY INTUITION, connect to myself, and decide what I want for my life! Happy listening.



    In This Episode:


    What is intuition? How to feel it
    How I got better at listening to it, by...
    Spending time alone
    Walking
    Journaling
    Talking out loud to myself
    Acknowledging the importance of sleep
    Gathering 'data'/insights to help my process
    Seeing how I respond to types of news (listen to find out what!)
    Deciphering who NOT to listen to...

    I hope you feel like you can align with yourself a lot more after this episode.

    S6: Turning 33, Feeling SEXY & Landing on Life Choices

    This January baby is 33. And loves it! Tune in to hear why...

    In This Episode:


    What I did to celebrate my birthday
    My philosophy on life right now
    Society's expectations of people and WOMEN 30+
    What I think about marriage, kids, and 'settling down'
    Being more intuitive, less of the 'should's
    How fear can drive our decisions–and how not to let them!

    Remember peeps: do what's right for you, within your means and try not to compare yourself (hard, I know). Listen to that voice inside and take the pressure off, will ya!?

    S6: Anti-New Year's Resolutions; Working on Insecurities & Anxieties for 2024

    Hey cuties. Happy 2024, I guess? Weird time to be alive... Here's what's been poppin' this side of the world for me since moving to Vancouver, Canada in Oct 2023 and being away from the motherland. Hope you've all been as well as can be.

    In This Episode:


    Christmas away from home, friends and fam
    Themes (not goals) I'm taking into 2024
    Why I don't set goals/new year's resolutions
    Language affects how we think and feel
    Why is everyone so focused on growth?/Why it's important...
    Personal learnings; what I am working on myself, for myself
    How my anxieties show up and not-so-great coping mechanisms
    Self-worth

    S6: Goodbye, UK; Moving Abroad to Vancouver, Starting Again at 32

    S6: Goodbye, UK; Moving Abroad to Vancouver, Starting Again at 32

    Hi, lovely people. Hope you're all holding up in current circumstances. (I know it's super sad and heavy for many right now.)

    I'm back again after a significant life change and wanted to settle in before 'reporting' back. I MOVED TO CANADA (solo) from the UK! It's been just what I needed. I've been here for just over 6 weeks now! Here's the down low on why I left, why it's working for me, and what I've been up to.

    Themes in this episode:
    - Moving country (well, returning)

    - Why Vancouver, Canada and the feelings associated with being here

    - Human needs, living by your values, and filling up your cup

    - Following intuition when making decisions

    - Authenticity/identifying your inner voice

    - Curating a life that suits YOU

    S6: The Millennial Dream ISN'T REAL, 2023 Uncertainty & Coping Strategies

    How is it Q4 of 2023, already? Hi again, pals! This episode is an audio diary with new insights on Self and being human in low, uncertain, ever-changing times, plus some actionable bits on how I've been managing it. Finally found some energy to vocalise what's been going on–OPEN and VULNERABLE as always. Ps. The WIP title for this was: 'Am I Pessimist? Feeling the Ups and Downs More Than the Average Joe?' so that's an indication of things to come...

    In this episode:
    - Battling society's productivity and achievement expectations
    - Feeling in limbo amidst 2023's weirdness
    - Low mood symptoms and experiences
    - How unemployment and an uncertain job market impacts self-worth

    - Expectation vs. Reality
    - Recognising the problematic messages we tell ourselves

    - Coping strategies
    - LIFE NEWS!!
