#180 - Sometimes fun AF, warm, loving and memorable—but often triggering, exhausting, lonely, and painful. Navigating the holiday season isn’t always fun-fun for everyone. In this HOTLINE Episode, Louise dives into two wildly relatable listener submissions: tackling triggering family dynamics, the loneliness of outgrowing old friendships, and finding ways to stay calm, cool, and balanced amidst the family chaos of going home for the holidays. This episode is packed with personal stories, practical strategies, and an important reminder: it’s not your job to change your family—especially when they don’t want to change. No matter how tough the holidays feel, it’s okay if it’s not the “best holiday ever.” Whether you’re spending the season with family, friends, or solo, this is your reminder that it’s just a season—and you’ve got this. 🌟

#178 - “I would find myself googling - when do I know if I should leave my marriage?” The end of any relationship is incredibly difficult to navigate, especially when you’ve spent years building a life with someone. Today, we’re joined by the shining light, Sasha Pallari, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating the breakdown of her 10-year relationship—just eight months into her marriage. Sasha opens up about the pivotal moment she realized, “This might not be it” and what she was longing for instead. We also discuss new love, new attachment, and experiencing things you never thought possible.

#177 - \ANOTHER brand-new segment! I wanted something more creative, a space to share all the epic sh*t I discover and dive into each week. Welcome to “Hot and Healing This Week”, where I curate and chat about trending wellness topics, must-listen podcasts, thought-provoking articles, and the best social media finds. I scroll so you don’t have to - so you can get *there* faster. Today, I’m covering a science-backed anti-aging hack, burnout and creativity, sugar’s long-term effects, non-toxic perfumes, Hallie Batchelder’s IDGAF energy, Alex Cooper’s Unwell Hydration launch, gut health gossip, the impact of sweeteners, and why we all need to take life a little less seriously. Let’s go!

#176 - The character arc from daddy issues to hyper independent “I don’t need you, I’ve got everything under control myself” and even “omg, have I become my father or am I dating someone like my father!?” is more common than you might think. Today, join Louise as she dives into a hotline episode - answering a user submission discussing how to start healing this wound. She jumps into the signs of an emotionally healthy father, how many of us didn’t get this in our childhood, how this can impact us in adulthood, the epic ski slope analogy and how to move forward when it feels like you (and your inner child) are gonna be hyper independent AF forever.

#175 - I spent my birthday bawling my eyes out on Facetime to my Mum. Welcome to my first-ever “Confession Session,” where I’m sharing why my birthday was a complete disaster — from feeling unseen and unsupported by my normally very loving boyfriend to navigating the loneliness of being 12,000km from home. I dive into the classic "it's my birthday, I can cry if I want to" vibes, exploring the psychology and biology behind why birthdays can trigger unexpected waves of emotion, pressure, expectation, and reflection, alongside inner child wounds and feelings of isolation too. If you’ve ever had a birthday that didn’t live up to the Instagram highlight reel, you’re not alone and I share my top 6 ways to make your birthday better, even if you aren’t looking forward to it. 💛

#174 Do you cringe at the thought of telling your nail technician you hate your nails, or does sending your food back in a restaurant make you break into a cold sweat? Do you speak up when someone does something that makes you feel anything less than amazing, or do you find yourself thinking, “It doesn’t matter” or “I shouldn’t make a fuss”?

In today’s episode, Louise explores the psychology and nervous system foundations behind why some of us stay quiet instead of speaking up. She also discusses the dangers of suppressing our voice and not expressing our truth and why your voice and experiences are one of the most powerful things about you.

Everyone was talking about Sabrina and Steven, and today, I sit down with Steven, one of my closest friends and the star of Love Is Blind UK. We dive into what it’s really like to have your love life—and heartbreak—put on blast for the world to dissect. Steven opens up about the brutal realities of reality TV, the emotional toll of internet trolls, and the raw truth that men, too, can be left feeling shattered after breakups. He discusses his shock at the reunion, the pain of re-watching himself fall in love on TV, and why he stayed silent while others created their own versions of the story. He shares how he uses daily tools to stay calm, grounded, and mostly anxiety-free—and how he’s evolving, just like everyone else.
