Less Surface Level

Today we chat to Jenna Hutchison, the brilliant creative behind the brand Love Ludie. Jenna speaks openly and honestly about what she's discovered about herself over the last few years, the business hints and tips she's gathered on her journey, how she navigates life and love while living off grid, and where she's headed in the future.

Your favourite LGBTQIA+ / mental health / anti diet advocate / MAFS participant joins us today to chat all things love, life and moving across the world.

Today I’m re-introducing you to the podcast. A year ago I closed an online company that I’d developed for five years to focus on being young, enjoying life, seeing my people and running my therapy practice. And with that, I stopped recording. I needed a little time to strip back everything that I’d learnt about in the online and wellness industry and come back to a place that felt good. And I did it

I started this project three years after a fresh break up and the first six-week lockdown. Now I get to bring it to you from a place where social media is no longer linked to my finances, my personal and home life is private, and I understand the downfalls of the wellness and online industry. The people in my life don’t need my time, my mental health advice, or my business advice. They’re just here for me. I’m not pulled in ten different directions, when I’m with people I’m with them, and I let myself be a messy 28 year old figuring life out. I no longer run workshops, or online mentorships, or create mental health programs for women. I’m just a 28 year old therapist living in Melbourne

But, after everything I let go of I’ve found that my love of real conversation is still here, and I still bloody love this podcast. So, here is “A little less surface level”. I’m so excited to continue sharing the stories of the people I chat with, and I hope you’ll keep listening along with us, too.

Being on your own can be painful, confusing and frustrating. It can also be the most liberating, educating, joyful time of your life. Today we are going to explore the latter.

I have been falling in love forever. First with men, then with women, since I was 15. So when I found myself single at 25 and looked back to realise that I hadn’t been on my own in 10 years, I finally looked inward. I now have a whole lot of information that I can unpack with you, let's talk about what being on your own can do for you.

Hi team! And welcome back to the podcast in 2022. To get back into the swing of things, I couldn't interview anyone else but my dear friend, Julia Hogarth. Jules and I have been on many adventures together, felt a lot of pain together and built dreams alongside each other. What started out as a conversation about the five things we’ve learnt since quitting our day jobs, soon turned into something else much bigger. Jules, thank you for trusting me with this conversation.

In this two part episode bundle I’m going to be answering questions sent in by both those who identify as being a part of LGBTQIA+ community, and those who identify as cis + straight. I’ll be answering questions sent in such as:

• What are my favourite things about being with a woman?
• Do you have to come out?
• How is being single and queer going?
• What have you learnt about yourself since coming out?
• How did your parents react?
• Do I miss sleeping with men?
• Are you worried about having kids?
• Do you ever wish you were straight

I hope this is the support system / understanding with compassion that some of you need today.
