What happens when life completely derails your carefully constructed plans? For our mate Zara, a hairdresser from Liverpool, what should have been a quick trip home for her sister's baby shower turned into a wild, years-long adventure filled with visa hiccups, COVID border closures, and some serious soul-searching.

Zara had built a seemingly perfect life in Perth over nearly a decade, with a thriving business, a steady relationship, and a gorgeous apartment. But then, BAM! She found herself locked out of Australia due to a technicality with her visa. What felt like the end of the world quickly became an unexpected chance for clarity. "It was the worst - best thing that happened to me," she candidly shared.

Separated from her partner and her work, everything felt like it was crumbling. Yet through that chaos, Zara reconnected with what truly mattered to her. Although her relationship and business ended, she started to feel happy again, something she realized she hadn’t felt in quite some time. She was rediscovering herself and starting anew.

Friends encouraged her to settle down in Liverpool, but Zara's heart was still set on Australia. We admired her stubbornness as she refused to buy a car, a house, or even a proper phone plan in the UK, confident she’d return to Perth on her own terms.

Eventually, the universe had her back with a sponsorship at Chrystal's salon. Tired of waiting in the UK, she decided to live in Bali while her visa was processed, making new friends and venturing back into the dating scene. A cringe-worthy date with a tooth-gem-wearing American left her a bit scarred, but it entertained us for sure!

Now, Zara is rebuilding her life in Perth, determined to find love and re-enter the dating world. Although she's not keen on dating apps -finding them a bit weird, but she’s open to new experiences as long as they don’t involve any tooth gems! It’s a bit daunting but refreshing to see her approach it all with humour and an open heart.

Our chat was filled with fun over snacks and drinks, with Zara teaching us some hilarious Scouse terms, leaving us in stitches trying to catch her quirky phrases and the things we don't quite understand when she talks! We couldn’t resist throwing in a cheeky-themed "Would You Rather" towards the end, adding a sprinkle of mischief to our convo!

Zara's journey resonates with anyone who's faced unexpected detours in life. It’s a raw reminder that sometimes, life’s redirections—even when painful—lead us right where we need to be. We hope you enjoy this fun, candid chat as Zara shares her extraordinary expat journey and adventures so far and discover why starting over might be the best gift of all!

"You're not lazy, you're not crazy, your brain just works differently." This raw and revealing conversation dives into the hidden world of ADHD in women, exploring why so many of us aren't diagnosed until we're in our 30s or 40s, often after years of feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, and "not normal."

Rose and Chrystal share their personal journeys with ADHD both diagnosed and undiagnosed. They candidly share their own experiences.

Rose diagnosed at 38 after reaching breaking point with anxiety, and Chrystal tested as a child but never medicated or properly treated. Together they unpack the unique challenges women face with ADHD, from the constant masking that makes us appear put-together while our minds race chaotically, to the imposter syndrome that convinces us we're just "bad at adulting."

The conversation gets refreshingly real about the quirky realities of living with ADHD: the "procrasta-cleaning" that happens when we're avoiding important tasks, the sensory issues that make some of us unable to wear socks while others can't stand the feel of jewelry, and the late-night hyperfocus sessions that lead to half-painted kitchens. They also explore the surprising links between ADHD and postnatal depression, and why so many women only discover their neurodiversity after having children.

Whether you're diagnosed, wondering about your own brain patterns, or simply want to understand a loved one better, this episode offers both validation and practical insights. From the importance of therapy and the considerations around medication to the simple relief of understanding why your brain does what it does – Rose and Chrystal bare it all with honesty, vulnerability and just the right amount of humour.

Adult content creator Cierra Stone joins Rose and Chrystal and gets curious, asking all the juicy questions.  

Sierra Stone pulls back the curtain on her OnlyFans journey, revealing why success requires far more than simply being comfortable with nudity. AND no, it's not as easy as selling a foot picture! 

What began as resistance—Cierra initially thought OnlyFans would damage the skimpy entertainment industry where she worked—transformed into a lucrative career after COVID border closures forced her to reconsider.

The financial trajectory speaks volumes: starting at $4,000 US monthly and climbing to $20,000 Australian (and growing) as Cierra mastered content creation, marketing strategies, and subscriber engagement. Yet the path demands a relentless work ethic. "I'm checking my schedule, making three TikToks on three accounts every single day, posting three times on Instagram, organizing photo shoots, editing content, choosing outfits, hiring studios," she explains. This level of commitment dismantles the myth of easy money in adult content creation.

Perhaps most surprising is what sells. Professional photoshoots? Not necessarily. "It's the homegrown, authentic stuff that works—selfies in the mirror, the hand-held videos," Cierra reveals. Subscribers crave authenticity and connection rather than polished productions. This principle extends to boundaries and self-presentation; Cierra approaches her work with refreshing candor, blocking her home country from accessing her content while accepting that complete privacy is impossible in the digital age.

Beyond business strategies, Cierra offers powerful perspectives on body image and dealing with criticism. From handling cellulite comments at work to navigating TikTok trolls, she's developed the resilience required in both public-facing industries. 

Ready to hear the unfiltered truth about making money on OnlyFans? Join Rose and Chrystal as they have fun chatting with Cierra, asking candid questions and learning about this ever-growing platform and the adult entertainment industry from someone who has worked in both!

Rose is turning 40! Can you believe it, fellow ‘85 babies? It’s our year to shine! 

In this episode of Baring it All with Rose and Chrystal, we dive into what it really means to celebrate milestones. Talk about Rose's thoughts on turning 40, her excitement and the fact she never usually celebrates her birthday. At first, Rose wasn’t even sure she wanted a big party—until a moment from the show Queer Eye hit her right in the feels. Suddenly, it all made sense. Enter Chrystal (and her husband, Craig), who are on a mission to throw the ultimate celebration and remind Rose just how special she is.

We chat about stepping into a new era of life, embracing change, and all the emotions that come with it—because getting older isn’t just about the number, it’s about feeling good in your skin, chasing dreams, and surrounding yourself with people who lift you up.

We also touch on health and fitness, taking care of ourselves as we age, dreams and Rose’s big plan: 40 things to do while you’re 40 (because why not make the year an epic adventure?).

So whether you’ve got a milestone birthday coming up or just want to reflect on your wild ride so far, we hope this convo reminds you to celebrate yourself and everything you have achieved and have overcome thus far and get excited for what’s next. Because honestly, life just keeps getting better with age.

Happy 40th Rose!

Have you ever been ghosted? OR are you the ghost? 

On this episode of Baring It All, Rose and Chrystal dive into the world of ghosting—from one-night stands to long-term friendships, and everything in between. 
We discover that we also are guilty of ghosting people and realise that we probably all have done it too! With plenty of laughs (and a few cringe-worthy stories), we unpack what ghosting really means in today’s world and why it happens.  

We share our own experiences—some funny, some a little harder—and explore the reasons behind why people disappear, whether it’s in relationships, friendships, or even the workplace. It’s an honest, no-holds-barred chat about how ghosting makes us feel, when it’s maybe *necessary* for self-care, and why social media has made everything so much more complicated.  

Join us for a raw, real, and fun conversation that might just leave you feeling a little less ghosted and a lot more seen.

We are back! It's been a minute since our last episode, so we catch up with each other on what's been happening, from holidays to surgery and friendships, and reflect on nearly hitting 40, midlife milestones and what we want out of our lives as we head into the next chapter; we explore how hard it can be and the empowerment of setting boundaries and embracing personal growth. We navigate the ups and downs of relationships, body positivity, and the societal pressures of aging, and we celebrate the joy of living authentically. We chat about Christmas traditions, writing for self-expression, and dreams of leaving the silly season behind to hit the beautiful Bali.
