After letting go of what no longer serves us, we’re often left in an in-between space—unsure, ungrounded, and asking, Who am I now? In this episode, I’m joined by my partner Liam as we explore what it means to reconnect with ourselves after major life shifts. Together, we reflect on our own journeys through change, identity, and rediscovery—both individually and within our relationship.

We talk about rediscovering old passions, trying new things, embracing solitude, and rebuilding trust in our own voices. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and begin the journey back—not to your past self, but to the version of you that’s unfolding now.

Because sometimes, finding your way back to yourself isn’t about going backward—it’s about meeting yourself right where you are, with a little more honesty, grace, and love.

Letting go is never easy—whether it’s an old habit, a fading friendship, or even a past version of ourselves. In this episode, we dive into the emotional weight of releasing what no longer aligns with us, from outgrowing relationships to grieving the parts of ourselves that once felt fearless and full of life.

This episode will be an honest, heartfelt conversation about embracing change—not as loss, but as an opportunity to make space for something new. And maybe, just maybe, we’re not losing parts of ourselves, but transforming into something we’ve yet to understand.

Join me as I reflect, share personal stories, and explore how to let go with grace, self-compassion, and a little bit of hope.

Life is a constant journey of growth, transformation, and self-discovery. In this episode, we explore the ever-changing phases of our lives and the unending versions of who we are. From childhood dreams to unexpected life shifts, we discuss how experiences shape us, why we outgrow certain identities, and how to embrace the uncertainty of becoming.

We dive into the challenges of change, the emotional weight of leaving old versions of ourselves behind, and the beauty of evolving into someone new. Through personal reflections and thought-provoking insights, we encourage you to embrace your own transformation and trust the process of becoming who you’re meant to be.

“As Life Happens”

Welcome back to Love, Growth, and Freedom! After two years of navigating major life changes, I’m finally back with a fresh perspective. Life happened—I moved overseas, started a new career in Melbourne, and have been on a journey to create a life that feels authentic to me.

In this episode, I reflect on the biggest lessons I’ve learned:

• You don’t need one grand dream—sometimes, you build it as you go.

• Moving abroad means shedding old versions of yourself to grow into something new.

• Stop worrying about what others think—it’s your life to live, not theirs.

• The love you cultivate within yourself radiates into all your relationships.

• Reflection and gratitude help shape both your past and future.

Life moves fast when you start making choices for yourself. Through all the change, never lose sight of your core self. Shift your perspective, embrace the lessons, and step boldly into your next chapter.

It’s easy to get caught up in negativity—focusing on what went wrong, what didn’t happen, or the worst-case scenarios our minds instinctively create. But what about the good? In this episode, we explore the power of shifting perspectives and practicing gratitude for the successes, joys, and meaningful experiences we’ve achieved throughout the year. We’ll dive into why we often overlook the positives, how to combat the guilt of catastrophizing, and practical ways to embrace a more balanced mindset. Tune in to reclaim your joy and celebrate your journey, no matter how imperfect it may seem!

We live in a society that celebrates being busy, from jumping from one goal to another. But to live our lives fully is up to us. With every moment we have, we are allowed to stop and enjoy the life we have created for ourselves while acknowledging all the things and people that helped us to be this version of ourselves.

Life's challenges come in waves and so do our growth. As we encounter different scenarios in our lives that encourage us to view things differently and make us go through growing pains; these are crucial parts of building and rediscovering who we are. With the tides, we change. A new era for this podcast and a new and reinvigorated version of me to share with you.

In this episode, we dive deep into the rollercoaster of emotions that come with moving to a new place. From the thrilling anticipation of something new to the tough emotional hurdles during the transition, we explore it all. We'll talk about the ups and downs of making connections, trying to create a cozy home in unfamiliar surroundings, and dealing with those pangs of loneliness and homesickness. I'll share some strategies to cope and highlight how this journey can transform you, nudging personal and emotional growth.

In the spirit of acknowledging a new phase in my life, I have decided to discuss the struggles of being away from home. Dealing with the pressures of adult life, and the realities of being far away from the life I have always known.

In this episode, I discuss my thought process and reasons for leaving. The perfect quote that encompasses this feeling and reasoning is from the book "101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think" by Brianna Wiest

She said: " Make plans to build the life you want, not because you hate the one you have, but because you’re in love with the person you know you want to become."

Which hit me hard and made me realize that it is because I am becoming the person I've always wanted to be growing up.

In this series, I'll take you through my journey and realisations as someone living my life away from home. Navigating through creating a home away from home.

Living life as an adult has been exhausting. Going through the motions, making sure everything is in line. Paying the bills, managing your social life and finding time to take care of yourself, is a tedious task. And sometimes you feel like you want to do more, or be more. That's all part of it, and it's all right, sometimes all we have to do is keep taking the day head on and work on what we can and build around it when we can. Be compassionate toward yourself, you're doing great sweetie.
