I received a DM from someone who is dealing with drama and it’s impacting them hugely. It’s all they can think about. Preach – I too struggle to handle drama and managing life. So I took to the mic in this solo ep to give advice including:

🎙 The greatest friendship drama I’ve faced and how it almost crippled me

🎙 Coming to the realisation that there are friends for a season, reason and lifetime

🎙 Why we may need to start re-setting our expectations of people

🎙 Why setting boundaries around where we place our energy and how much we invest in relationships is critical for our wellbeing

And so much more…

We’ve reached 200 episodes (I can’t believe it!) and we’re reflecting in this solo ep, where I delve into:

🎙 Starting the podcast with 0 audience or followers and building it to what it is today

🎙 What drives me after 200 episodes

🎙 Why celebrating the small moments is critical to our motivation – shout out to my coach Kris (@insideoutwithkris) for her insights here

And so much more …

Shout-out to everyone who has tuned in to episodes, followed us on Instagram, watched us on Youtube. To every guest, sponsor and contributor. Parenthood would not be where it is today without every single one of you.

To our audience, I feel so honoured to play a small part in your lives. It’s a privilege I don’t take for granted.
