  • When Did 30 Become The Scary Age?

    I would like to apologise to anyone I thought was old at 30 when I was 18! 

    Seriously - 30 has had a bad rap and I'm here to set things straight. I had a listener write in and say that she's turning 30 and is scared because she doesn't have her shit together. Well, in this episode I go in on how the expectations of our 20's are LITERALLY INSANE and how once you hit 30 something just *clicks* 

    I will be doing more episodes about our 20's and 30's and I want your input! Please head over to @lovehally on instagram and let me know anything you want me to speak on

  • You Say You Know Better, Want Better, But Won't DO Better?

    The world famous poet, memoirist, civil rights activist, author, singer, dancer and scholar - Maya Angelou said "When you know better, you do better."


    Butttttt I think you and I both know that this isn't always the case hmmmm. So this episode I basically give you the tough love you need so you can repeat Ms Angelous quote and MEAN IT. Saying you want better but not actually doing better has detrimental affects on our lives, I know that sounds dramatic but it's true. You rob yourself of so much and diminish your self esteem by continuing to participate in situations that break you down and always resulting in the same outcome. 


    As always would love to connect over on IG and know any future podcast episodes you want to hear and your takeaways! @lovehally

  • Your Yes Has No Value If You Never Say No

    No is one of the most uncomfortable words for a lot of people. We're fine hearing it but can't say it. Well if you're a "yes" person, that yes starts to lose it's value the more you say it without any no's in between. If you are someone that can't say no and pride yourself on being there for everyone (while exerting yourself beyond capacity) then this episode is for you! Or if you know someone that needs to start saying no, then pass this on boo.

  • What is Comparative Suffering? Why Is It Dangerous? + How To Put An End To It

    THROWBACK EPISODE - 

    This episode is one I recorded nearly 3 years ago! WILD, I KNOW! So you'll hear a different intro and some things may be a *little* off.

    Otherwise this episode is one I really want to highlight and hope it's a topic you get some value from.

    In today's episode we are talking about comparative suffering, ever heard of it? Don't worry I'll fill you in! Look we have all been on the giving and receiving end of this and it's okay, but, we need to make sure we are being conscious about the words we use to someone who is suffering. Suffering is subjective, what you might deem insignificant is a traumatic event for someone else, so it's important to know that suffering doesn't have to come from some extreme earth shattering event. If someone comes to you with a problem they're facing, your automatic response shouldn't be to one up them with something you or someone you know is going through that's harder than what they're experiencing.   


    Sometimes (emphasis on the some!) people respond in a way of comparing with good intentions, or to show that they understand where the other person is coming from, but it does more harm than good. Perhaps you're not great at consoling people who are going through a hard time. Maybe you struggle to empathise with people. You might be coming from a good place but your words don't reflect that. If any of these ring true for you we go through ways to avoid comparative suffering when speaking to someone else and how to address it if someone is doing it to you.   


    This is a really important topic to me, I wanted to bring light to this because it's one of the main reasons there is such a stigma around mental health and seeking any form of therapy. As a coach, I've seen this really destroy peoples confidence and even their willingness to get help. It has to stop and it starts with us.

    As always I want to thank you for taking the time to listen and if you enjoyed this episode I would be so grateful if you'd rate and write a review on iTunes it would mean the world to me. xx

  • The Convenience of Others Should Not be Your Priority
    In this episode I discuss why being considerate of others to a fault can be detrimental to you and your decisions. I speak about how you can respectfully be inconsiderate (when the decision doesn't directly impact others) and make a decision for yourself. Taking accountability for your life and making your own decisions no matter the outcome is the most empowering thing you can do.
    Please let me know if you enjoyed this episode and like, rate, review and share to someone that might enjoy it too!
