Why is it that I always feel the most motivated to change my life when I'm not in the position to do anything about it? This week I explore the fact that, actually, I am just afraid! Other topics include my childhood relationship with food and giving my husband a film education to prove to him that women are funnier than men. Obviously.

On this week's episode of Prologues I'm discussing the difference between old friendships and new friendships, my trouble finding a passion, a potentially changing mental health diagnosis, and my fear of peaking in my 20s / over-romanticizing my 30s <3

I've been here, there, and everywhere lately, and it's been weeks since I've sat behind the mic and given a proper catch up!!

If you've ever wondered what it's like being married to a full time influencer, my husband is here for the second part of his Prologues feature to spill it all. We also tell the story of how we met and answer questions related to our journey. Matthew is more of a behind-the-scenes man, so it's very special that he's joined us again!!

One year after making his Prologues debut during My United States Exit Interview, Matthew is back to follow up on how the first year in the UK went for both of us. Did reality meet our expectations?

I've officially lived in Scotland for one entire year, which feels extraordinary, fake, joyful, and sudden all at once.

Women aren't really taught to feel sexy - to sexualize ourselves, sure, but to feel sexy for our own empowerment? Not really. Due to my upbringing in high-control religion, my relationship with my sexuality and confidence has always been layered. I feel I've swung to both extremes of the spectrum at times, before finally landing where I am now.

We're so back!!! Back with another Dialogues episode, the part of Prologues where you talk and I talk back x
