Here's something I never thought I would say on this podcast, or anywhere else really: Mr. Max and I are over and I am heartbroken.

In this episode I'm taking you through the tools I'm using to cope and how I plan to stop this from being the defining event of my life.

Confession: I am a serial cheater. I have cheated in every relationship I've been in except the current one.

In this episode I'm telling you why.

"Because this is what we do, right? You take something not great that happens in a relationship and you make it personal by assuming that the person knew that what they did would bother you and they did it anyway because they don’t care."

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

In this special bonus episode, we're talking about being submissive in relationships. I'm taking you guys inside the dynamic of my relationship with Mr. Max, and sharing the journey I took for me to be okay with submitting to him...and admitting it publicly!

I really hope you guys enjoy it.

In this episode, more than ever, I want to hear what you guys think! Are there any women out there who willingly submit to their partners and enjoy it? Any men who wish their women were more submissive? Let’s talk about it. Or, if you think I’m a spineless doormat who is letting my man run roughshod over me, I want to hear that too.

Jennifer Cavalleri said "love means never having to say you're sorry". But is that true? We examine that in this episode.

Inspired by the Kanye West song, this is an episode about depression and showing up for our friends and family....no matter how strong and capable they may seem.

Okay you guys! I've come up with a new series for the podcast I think you'll enjoy. It's called "Max-logic then and now".

I'll be taking old posts from the blog, reading them, and seeing whether I still agree with my point of view.

This first one is about yelling; how it was an absolute deal-breaker for me in the past, and where I stand on it now. I hope you enjoy.

This episode is a bit of a departure from what I've been doing so far. I'm not preaching; just taking you on a journey as I wrestle with something that weighs on me on the time: how to make peace with the fact that you sometimes don't get what you want. When you haven't had the happily ever after, the picture perfect life that everyone around you seems to have, how do you handle it?

In this episode we're talking about people-pleasing. Why we do it, how we got this way, and most importantly, how to stop it.

It's time to stop being the "nice" girl and start being who you are and living on your own terms.

Oooh I'm excited about this one! One of my very favourite topics to rant about!

This one is for the ladies out there who insist on only dating men who are over 6 ft tall. I'm going to break down for you why this is a bad idea and what you should be doing instead.
