  • Liminal Space - The Messy Middle of Heartbreak

    This episode explores the in-between phase after heartbreak, when the old version of you no longer fits and the new one hasn’t arrived yet. 

    I talk about identity loss, emotional waves, nervous system regulation, loneliness, and practical ways to cope without rushing healing. This is a slow, grounding episode for anyone living inside transition. 

    Nothing is wrong.
    Something is reorganizing.

  • Breakups - Taking Your Dreams Back.

    This episode is for anyone who’s realised they’re spending more time thinking about their ex than actually living their own life. We talk about how heartbreak quietly hijacks your attention, how “waiting” can become a way of life, and why obsessing over what someone else is doing keeps you stuck. It’s an honest conversation about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your one precious life and choosing yourself instead of watching someone who has already moved on.

  • What Love Shouldn’t Cost You Post Breakup.

     This episode explores the quiet, unspoken costs of staying in relationships that slowly erode your peace, self-trust, and sense of self. We talk about the things love should never ask you to sacrifice, how to recognise when hope becomes self-abandonment, and how to reclaim yourself after loving deeply. If you’re rebuilding after heartbreak, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and permission to want love that feels safe.

  • How To Slow Down In January To Make Sure 2026 Is Big.

    This episode is for anyone who’s healing, starting over, or quietly rebuilding their life. We’re talking about levelling up without pressure, rushing, or forcing change. Instead, this is about slow, meaningful growth, nervous-system safety, and learning to trust yourself again. If you’re coming out of heartbreak, grief, or a season that changed you, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need to become someone new to move forward. Softness can still create a beautiful, aligned life. Want More Like This - https://stan.store/Loula

  • Christmas After a Breakup: The Year You Didn’t Collapse.

    This episode is for anyone who made it to Christmas after a breakup and is wondering why it still feels a little unsteady.

    I talk about why Christmas can bring emotions back up even when you’ve been healing, why missing someone doesn’t mean you want them back, and why this season isn’t a setback — it’s a pause that reveals how much you’ve actually grown. This isn’t surface-level breakup advice or forced positivity. It’s grounding, honest reframes for navigating Christmas when life looks different than you expected.

    If you’re listening on Christmas or around it and need something steady, reassuring, and quietly hopeful, this episode is for you.

  • The Decisions You Make After Your Breakup Will Shape Your Entire Future.

    After a breakup, it’s not the ending that shapes you it’s the decisions you make next. In this episode, I talk about the quiet, everyday choices that either keep you stuck or slowly set you free. The boundaries you set, the habits you build, the thoughts you stop entertaining, and the version of yourself you choose to become when no one is watching. This one is about taking your power back, choosing growth over comfort, and trusting that the life you’re building after heartbreak can be even stronger than the one you lost.

  • Four Years of Single Seasonal Reflections

    In this episode, I open up about being single for four years and how every year of that journey reshaped me. From the heartbreak of my first Christmas alone, to rebuilding my life, losing my job, finding clarity, and finally choosing myself over rushing into love. I talk about why my healing had to come before any new relationship, and how this year I finally feel ready for something new because I’ve worked hard to become a version of myself who won’t bring chaos, old wounds, or old stories into my next chapter. If you’re on your own healing journey, this episode is for you.

  • Your New December Rituals That Have Nothing To Do With Christmas - Single Edition.

    In this episode, I’m flipping December on its head. Instead of slipping into nostalgia or repeating old rituals, I’m sharing how I build future-facing, identity-shaping traditions that support the version of me I’m becoming.

    I dive into why December feels so emotionally heavy and how I use it as the most intentional month of my year. Expect unconventional rituals, zero boring advice, and mindset shifts that help you step into your strongest, most future-focused self.
