HAPPY NEW YEAR my little cacti!

Welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it.

This is a JUICY episode talking about all of your biggest confessions, anonymous of course. I feel like the priest listening and saying "It will all be ok, child", very cathartic for everyone, I'm sure. It’s very on brand when thinking about the whole theme of this podcast generally.

These confessions are equally hilarious, shocking and humbling... But zero judgement. Just pure entertainment. And I thank everyone for supplying 10/10 content.

Hope you enjoy the episode and let me know which is your favourite confession.

P.S. Please follow, share this episode and rate the show 5* so I can continue creating fun episodes you love!

All the love & vibes,

Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it.

Now, as we approach a new year, it naturally makes us reflect. I don’t really subscribe to the whole ‘new year, new me’ BS but more focusing on self-extension, how we can keep building and growing, rather than feeling like you need to be a whole different person.

So with that, here's my mini list of things I'm leaving behind in 2025, and what I'm bringing into 2026. (FYI: this is not a New Year's resolution.)

Also tune in for my biggest social faux of the year too... also will NEVER be doing that again.

P.S. DM me on @killedmycactuspod with your intentions - let's share the fun.

Thanks so much for listening to this episode - please do me a lil favour and hit the follow button, share this with a friend and rate the show 5* if it vibes with you so I can continue to create episodes you enjoy.

Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it.

Lately I've seen a lot of TikTok videos where people are talking about how weird and absurd the world and life generally is. Like, "what is the whole point?" and it kind of gets you thinking…

Why am I here? What am I doing? What is this all for?! It’s like a little existential crisis. Then you realise that you actually make the rules!

I’m not trying to sound dark or nihilistic whatsoever, but it makes me think: life is too short not to do more things out of just silliness, fun, joy, living wild & free vibes.

So if you’re feeling like a side character, this is for you. Let me know what you're gonna try in the comments!

Welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun & messy bits and laugh about it.

I feel like we always see the ‘wins’ and glamorous moments people share, but not the 98% of what is probably quite normal.

I’m talking about failure here and making mistakes – the stuff we should be more candid about because sh*t happens. And boy oh boy, I’ve got a whole CV of failures - some that make me CRINGE into a 6ft grave (that I've dug for myself) and others that are an absolute *eye roll* moment.

Here's a list of my top failures to date – I hope they make you LOL and you feel better about all the very normal human errors you've made in life. There are probably more to come, but it's all part of how you grow (even if it feels uncomfortable)...

If you like this episode, please give the show a cheeky 5* rating, share it with a friend, and follow on @killedmycactuspod for updates.

All the love & vibes,

Hello and welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun & messy bits, and laugh about it. 🌵

Today’s episode is a question I’m sure we’ve all thought about ourselves at least once: "am I being a bad friend?

Maybe you feel like you're not being supportive enough, not showing up enough, not present…

Obviously, there are times where you might not always be able to fill someone’s cup up. Maybe your energy is low or you’re going through a rough time. Adulting is hard. Long-distance friendships are also tough to navigate. We’re all on a different schedule and it’s not like we’re at uni or school any more, so that quality time or connection is more finite.

And on the flip side, maybe you’re on the receiving end of that - you’re trying to work out if your friends are really your friends. The relationship has changed or evolved, you don’t feel as close, it feels different. Now, that is really common - and many factors contribute to this.

So let's get deep into the nitty gritty of adult friendships, and figure it out together.

Thank you so much for tuning into this episode - I hope you find it helpful or at least feel like you can take action or be proactive. Take a moment to share this episode with someone you know, support the show by rating 5* so I can create more episodes you love.

And as always, follow along on @‌killedmycactuspod or DM me with some topics you want to yap about.

Hello and welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun & messy bits and laugh about it.

Today’s episode is about relaxing - and I don’t just mean in the traditional sense of cancelling plans because you’re tired, bed-rotting, binge-watching a series on Netflix or some well-needed R&R, but also removing any pressure you’re putting on yourself. Whether that’s job hunting, figuring out your ‘next step’ or hitting another goal/milestone in life.

This is also about ignoring the social timeline. Letting go of expectations of what people want for you, where you should be...

Ultimately, we have time. We can choose to wait, to chill, to change our mind. We actually have way more control than we think.

This episode will give you that boost and *sigh of relief* when it comes to all the big life choices and changes you're going through in your 20s and 30s.

Hopefully, you'll feel a lot more RELAXED about where you are and hopeful about what's to come...

As always, please share this episode with someone you care about and needs to hear this today. Subscribe & rate the show 5* if you enjoyed it so I can continue making episodes you love (and give me an ego boost hehe).

All the love & vibes,

Hello and welcome back to IKMC - the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's chaotically fun & messy bits, and laugh about it.

Today’s episode is all about fear and anxiety: how it shows up, what it means, why we need to listen to it, and the way it influences our next steps, choices and behaviours.

For me, it's a mental reframe, how to see it as a friend, not foe. So we can chase fun opportunities, ask for that raise, grow into you 2.0!!

This is not about eliminating fear (literally, impossible – we're not wired that way lol) but using it more as a tool. It's the classic "feel the fear, and do it anyway" vibes.

Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear this too, rate the show 5* to help me create more content for you, and subscribe for weekly ramblings on all things life & mindset.

Enjoy!

All the love & vibes,

Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's chaotically fun & messy bits, and laugh about it!

Today I'm yapping about 10 reasons I love moving back home at 29 – reframing it from potentially a 'negative' outlook to a positive one.

I had to whittle this list down to only 10 things, there were actually TONNES more, but overall: it's a yes from me.

So if you're currently at a crossroads, maybe considering moving back home to save money or for your health, whatever it is, then hopefully this chat will give you some inspiration and fresh POV.

Hope you enjoy this episode – give it a cheeky 5* if you feel edutained, drop a comment or a topic idea to yap about and follow on @killedmycactuspod for more.

Helloooooo - I'm back. Did ya miss me?

It's been a hot minute since I got out the mic. I'll be real, life kinda hit me hard this year (literally) and I had a bit of a wake-up call. I can't sugar coat it, I've been struggling a lot with my mental health.

So I'm sharing a bit about my story, starting anti-depressants & therapy, and a candid look into how I'm kinda restarting again at 29.

There's no 'right or wrong' way to do life, and you can start or stop things whenever... You're allowed to change your mind. You're allowed to try something different or new. You're allowed to rewrite the plan.

Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, there's no expiry date or timeline to do or achieve XYZ by. You also might find that maybe what you thought would make you happy, isn't anymore. So it's time for a change, even if it feels uncomfortable or like a step back, it's never too late!

This is the kind of pressure I'm trying to let go of - taking more of a 'side step' in life. Figuring out what makes me happy and what's really important without expectation of a specific outcome.

If this resonates with you, I'd like to say: you are not disappointing ANYONE but yourself when you ignore what you want in life. It's ok to feel lost, to feel stuck, to not know what is 'next' but you can still try.

I hope you enjoy this episode - please subscribe, share and rate IKMC 5* so I can continue to build this shame-free space to yap and talk about the messy, chaotic, fun bits of life.

All the love & vibes,

Nads 💖 🌵
