Hello and welcome back! It's been a hot minute!

I'm still in the trenches of my Masters degree, but I thought I'd peep in and say hello with a little episode. I have 're-branded' to Alouise Please so I can have some essence of consistency, which inadvertently demonstrates the ket point of this podcast episode!

I very much feel that at this stage I have outgrown Melbourne (which is why I chose to read my related article out loud - let me know if you like that kind of thing and I will read out more of my writing!), but also that I've outgrown myself. I am not the person I was even 6 months ago, and I do plan to speak about this a little more in the upcoming months, but I am very much still trying to unpack it.

Anyway, I hope you are all fine & dandy, I love this little corner of the internet and I'll be back soon!

In the meantime, find me here:

What I Eat in a Day videos...

We all know them, we all watch them, but is it just harmless short form content, or is there a bigger issue at hand?

I get a little heated & a little passionate in this episode which I feel is rare for me as I do get nervous to outwardly state my opinions online.

But spoiler alert 🚨 I don't think these videos are as innocent as they seem. Listen on to find out why.

I would also love to know what you think about these videos too so please leave me a comment here or message me over on Instagram!

Hello! I'm back!

Returning to the podcast wasn't initially on my 2026 bingo card, but I've missed you all & was in desperate need of a good ol' yap session.

Connecting with you is my fave thing, so feel free to reach out (Instagram is your best bet, I'm chronically online).

And if you manage to listen all the way to the end, tell me - how are you going to show up for yourself this week?

In this episode I mention:

- Recent weight gain

- Deciding to come off of HRT

- My mental health

- Wanting to leave Melbourne

- My new job

Hello & welcome back!

This episode covers:

✔️ Developing my taste for coffee as a child

✔️ My background in the coffee industry (this may surprise you!)

✔️ My TOP coffee spots in Melbourne

✔️ My MID coffee spots

✔️ And my LOWEST ranking coffee shops (i.e. avoid!)

✔️ What I look for in a cafe & future goals

This episode may ruffle some feathers, may be a little controversial, but I want it to start some conversations about the state of cafes right now & what your take is.

There’s a lot to unpack in this one so grab a snack, grab a coffee (obviously) and enjoy ☕️

Have a recommendation? Let me know!

Also, DM me on Instagram if you want access to my giant list of coffee shop reviews from Melbourne!

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about something deeply personal: my journey with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, period loss, and starting HRT (hormone replacement therapy).

I share what HA looks like for me, the symptoms I ignored, what pushed me to finally seek help, and how my hormone recovery is going so far.

If you’re navigating Hypothalamic Amenorrhea recovery, trying to get your period back, or you’re simply curious about women’s health, hormone balance, and the realities of healing, I hope this episode makes you feel seen and supported.

This is an honest conversation about eating more, resting more, managing anxiety, and slowly learning to trust my body again. If you’re in the thick of your own recovery or just beginning your HRT journey, you’re not alone — and I’m right there with you. 💛✨

Welcome to Subconscious Babble — the cosy corner of the internet where I finally say all the things I've never had space to say.

In the second episode, I open up about

• My many moves across Australia and England

• Why I was forced to leave Brisbane

• Why I chose The University of Melbourne

• The struggles of moving to a new city

• What area of journalism I want to work in

• My plans after my Masters degree

• Answering listener questions about the housing crisis and making friends

In this episode I speak about things I've never said online before (and I've been oversharing online for years so this really is a bit of tea!).

If you like cosy rambles, honesty, and feeling less alone in your own brain, you’re in the right place.

New episodes every Monday at 8am (Melbourne time).

Welcome to Subconscious Babble — the cosy corner of the internet where I finally say all the things I've never had space to say.

In this first episode, I open up about
• How I found my way back to podcasting
• My early experiences with mental health and eating disorders
• Navigating stigma long before it was talked about
• Why sharing my story matters
• Moving across the world (thrice!)
• Changing careers, leaving the fitness industry & studying journalism
• And why having a period only four times in my life has shaped how I see myself as a woman

This is the most honest introduction I’ve ever given — part storytelling, part chaos, part comfort-chat. If you like cosy rambles, honesty, and feeling less alone in your own brain, you’re in the right place.

New episodes every Monday at 8am (Melbourne time).
