03.29.2021 Stop letting your ego convince you that you're not good enough The ego... It tends to shout when we need it to be quiet. It convinces us that we need to be more popular, more attractive, more successful, more stylish and more intelligent, in order to be liked by others. In ...

12.03.2020 Instagram filters, Facetune and getting paid to catfish? In the world of Instagram filters and Facetune, it's hard to know what anyone actually looks like anymore. Facetune has made it easy to edit our photos, and Instagram story filters have made it easy to edit our videos. A ...
11.04.2020 Does life keep knocking you down? Listen to this! A month or so ago, I uploaded a podcast episode called 'sooo my life has been a bit of a mess this year', and the response really surprised me. So often when we're going through something tough, we feel isolated ...

09.30.2020 Just eat the damn burger How many times a day do you beat yourself up about the food you eat? Do you eat a meal and then immediately feel guilty for doing so? Do you tell yourself you're not allowed to eat certain foods? I've ...
09.17.2020 We need to talk about racism In Australia, racism towards Indigenous Australians is embedded into the fabric of our country. It has become part of our culture. It presents itself in subtle, covert ways that make it difficult to pinpoint, so if you pull someone up ...
09.09.2020 Sooo my life has been a bit of a mess this year :) This year has been a mess for most people... myself ~very much~ included. It all started in January and went downhill pretty quickly from there. Reece and I went from our usual happy, optimistic and upbeat selves to feeling defeated, ...
08.06.2020 Why we're closing down Lauren Curtis Lounge Reece and I started this business in 2018 after spending years planning and developing it. It was the first big 'thing' I did outside of YouTube, and boy did we both learn a lot throughout the process (good and bad)! ...
07.28.2020 Why we allow other people to dictate how we feel about ourselves Whether it be our appearance, our personality or our success, most of us have a core set of beliefs about the person we are, and whether that person is 'good enough' or not. I've struggled with self worth and self ...
04.23.2020 If not now, when? (Seriously) We're all in this habit of saying "one day" or, "I'd love to do that, but -" and we confine ourselves to the bounds of the 'safer' option, not realising what we're giving up in the process. It's so easy ...

03.05.2020 Why I'm going to therapy This is something I never thought I'd be talking about because I never thought I'd be doing it in the first place. For me, therapy always seemed like something you'd only seek out if you were dealing with a lot ...
02.27.2020 Change your perspective, change your life! Your perspective governs your entire life, whether you realise it or not.

02.12.2020 YouTuber scandals: let's talk about them Let's be real: we've all indulged in gossip before. Someone you know (or maybe even don't know) has done something to upset you or someone close to you, and so you talk about it. Maybe with one person, maybe with ...

11.07.2019 Do you REALLY want to turn your hobby into a career? This episode might make some people uncomfortable because it goes against the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life". I think that statement is very naive and ignorant to the reality of business ...
