You can be happy and grateful and still feel like a lukewarm version of yourself. In this episode I'm starting Project Me, my twelve-month experiment in getting to know who I actually am, and catching all the small ways I'd been settling on autopilot without even noticing.

• What Project Me is, and why it goes deeper than a glow up
• Starting small with my pyjamas, and why where you begin matters
• The tattoos I'm removing, and the people-pleasing story behind one of them
• The fawn response, and how it quietly shapes everyday choices
• The honest conversation with my hairdresser, and what putting myself first really asked of me
• Using my Human Design and the astrological seasons to pace the whole thing

If you'd like to follow along as Project Me unfolds, come and join me on my newsletter, Magnetic Musings here.

I spent two weeks quietly escaping my own life and calling it rest. This episode is the honest version of what that funk actually was, how I caught it, and the somatic practices I used to come back to myself without bypassing the hard feelings.

In this episode:

• Why genuine rest and numbing out can look identical from the outside
• How my luteal phase tipped me into a low patch, and how I work with my cycle now
• The journaling process I use to get to what is really going on
• Guilt versus shame, and how to tell them apart in the body
• The breathwork practice that moved guilt out of my chest
• Why I am stepping back from Human Design and astrology to focus on breathwork

If you want the in-between version of all of this as I move through my breathwork training, come follow along in my newsletter, Magnetic Musings.

This episode started with The Devil Wears Prada 2 and ended up somewhere much more personal. Laura unpacks what the film's message about human creativity and effort has to do with the woman who is in the middle of building something, and why the boring days are not the obstacle standing between her and the vision but the whole point of getting there.

What's covered:

✨ What The Devil Wears Prada 2 got right about creativity, effort, and what actually gives things their value in an age of AI

✨ The gap between the big vision and the reality of what it takes to show up and bring it to life

✨ Why most people quit in the messy middle and what it genuinely takes to stay the course

✨ Creating from a place of alignment versus chasing external validation and how to start telling the difference in your own body

✨ What Human Design not-self behaviours can show you about the patterns running underneath your decisions

✨ Laura's honest reflection on where she is in her own process right now, and why she is not rushing it

If the Human Design thread in today's episode landed for you, a Decoded session is a good next step. You can find out more and book here.

It's been a few weeks because I was back in my hometown for a family wedding, and this episode is the honest reflection that came out of it.

Losing my routine for five days reminded me just how much my morning practice holds me together. And being back around family reminded me how easy it is to slip into an older version of yourself, even when you've done a lot of work on that.

In this episode:

• Why going home feels so tiring, even when you love it, and what your morning routine actually does for your nervous system
• Not drinking at a family wedding for the first time, the inner narrative that followed and how I worked through it
• Why we revert to old patterns around people who've known us our whole lives and why that's okay
• How breathwork helps you move through discomfort without having to think your way out of it
• Celebrating your friends' wins without envy and what it means if you can't yet
• The uncomfortable in-between phase of growth, the loud projector mind, and why staying in the learning is the work right now

An honest episode of The Hones-Tea Podcast about what happens when you stop forcing things and actually let life flow.

Over the last few weeks I've been releasing control of the how in my business and personal life. Journalling, breathwork, choosing joy, trusting the universe. And the opportunities that landed as a result were ones I never could have planned for including co-leading a breathwork and flower painting workshop that came completely out of nowhere.

In this episode:

• Why being bad at something new is a rite of passage, not a reason to stop
• Using journalling and breathwork to self-regulate and get to the root of what's keeping you stuck
• Human Design Projector energy and why honouring rest changed everything
• Releasing the how and watching life open up
• Messy action, limiting beliefs, and becoming the next version of yourself
• Why in-person connection is shifting things in 2026
• The art exhibition, the breathwork workshop, and owning who you are out loud

A slightly Ted-talk-ish episode of The Hones-Tea Podcast .. honest, in the moment, and with a story about lipstick on my teeth at the start because that's just how it went.

Last week I made an uncomfortable financial decision I'd been avoiding, chose joy for the rest of the week, and felt like a completely different person. This episode is about why that works and why we so often skip it.

I talk about:

• The mental prison we build for ourselves when we're feeling overwhelmed
• How the nervous system becomes addicted to familiar feelings, even uncomfortable ones
• Why the first step out of stagnation is smaller than you think
• Free, simple things that genuinely shift your energy
• Why I think we are alive in the most miraculous time and taking it completely for granted
• Choosing joy as an actual strategy, not a toxic positivity bypass

A more personal episode of The Hones-Tea Podcast and a new format. Less structured, more real. Think podcast meets vlog.

A recent tarot reading asked me whether I wanted to be a teacher online or whether I just wanted to show up and share my life. It cracked something open. This episode is the result.

I talk about:

• The fear of being fully seen online and the witch wound behind it
• People pleasing and what happens when you realise you don't even know your own opinions
• Why I made a financial decision I'd been avoiding for months
• Periods, emotions, and why our most difficult days are often our most clarifying
• Aries season 2026 and learning to rest inside the push
• Finding joy again — dance classes, romance books, and remembering what I actually like

In this episode of The Hones-Tea Podcast, I'm talking about one of the most important (and most avoided) topics for women reclaiming their power: finances.

This isn't about manifesting more money. It's about taking real, aligned responsibility for your relationship with it, the habits, the patterns, the avoidance and finding the courage to change them from the inside out.

I share my own experience of finally sitting down with my bank statements and facing what I'd been refusing to look at, and how working through both the internal beliefs and the external habits together is what starts to create genuine change.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why inner work alone doesn't change financial habits
• Neptune and Saturn moving into Aries and what it means astrologically for taking courageous action
• The connection between impulsive spending and feeling powerless with money
• How to start changing your relationship with money without overwhelming yourself
• Why being patient and compassionate with yourself is non-negotiable in this process
• Why women having wealth matters and why it starts with personal responsibility

If you're fed up with feeling powerless, guilty, or stuck when it comes to money, this is where it begins.

In this episode of The Hones-Tea Podcast, I’m sharing a powerful practice that helped me reset and rebuild momentum: an energy audit.

An energy audit is a way of getting honest about what’s filling you up versus what’s quietly draining your energy because when your energy is constantly depleted, it becomes harder to stay consistent with your goals, your habits, your business and the life you’re trying to create.

In this episode, we cover:

• What an energy audit is and how to do one
• People, places and environments that recharge you
• Hidden energy drains (scrolling, mental stress loops, low sleep, alcohol)
• What you consume (TV, podcasts, music, online content) and its impact
• Shifting fitness and food from validation to nourishment
• Finances, avoidance, and changing habits without self-judgment
• Why attention fuels your reality and how to redirect it
