Talking Faith Without the Stereotypes | A Conversation with Megan

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Megan to have a raw and refreshing conversation about Christianity, faith, and spiritual growth—topics that often feel off-limits, especially among young people.

Together, we explore what faith means to us personally. Megan, who attends Refuge Church in Paisley, and I, from Bourock Parish Church in Barrhead share our honest experiences with religion—not as something restrictive or “bible-bashing,” but as a powerful guide for becoming the best version of yourself.

We discuss how the stories in the Bible are rich with meaning, metaphor, and relevance for modern life, and why talking about Christianity should be encouraged, not avoided.

If you've ever felt like faith isn't for you or that it's too “out there” to talk about—this episode might just shift your perspective.

Arlene opens up about the personal challenges she’s faced along the way, the self-doubt, the growth moments, and how she’s managed to balance being a business owner with staying passionate about what she loves.

If you’re a hairdresser, a business owner, or someone who's ever dreamed of creating something of your own – this one’s for you.

It’s honest, empowering, and full of insight into what it really means to HUSTLE.

EPISODE DROP 🚗✨ | Featuring Kez from Stellar Detailing & Valeting

This week I finally dragged Kez—aka the car care king from Stellar Detailing & Valeting—onto the pod! He’s listened to every episode (👀 loyal!) but was nervous to come on and shout about his business… and I’m SO glad he did.

We get into the real deal behind car care—because let’s be honest, you think you’re saving money with that £3.50 car wash, but your car is probs the second most expensive thing you’ll ever buy. So why are you treating it like it’s disposable?

There’s so much I had no clue about—this one’s not just for the lads, gals, or petrolheads. If you own a car (or sit in one occasionally lol), give it a listen. Hype Kez up, get sharing, and book him in to sort out that bogging motor of yours.
