    Have you ever caught yourself saying yes to plans with friends when you really don't want to go out? 

    We have all been there....

    In this episode, I am talking about why we are so used to people pleasing, how we can stop doing it and why living more intentionally will benefit our lives incrementally in the long term. 

    From one people pleaser to another, I am taking my own advice on this one...

    We are also discussing Valentines day, the pressure it brings to the singletons and those in relationships, and how to not let it get to you!

    Now that we’re heading toward the end of the year, I think it’s the perfect time to reflect on the people we spend the most time around (especially those whose negativity can quietly affect us without us realising).

    In this episode, I talk about how to recognise negative behaviour, the impact it can have on your mindset over time, and how we can protect our energy.

    I also share thoughts on approaching difficult conversations with people who consistently bring negativity into your life, and why being intentional about who you keep close really matters.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Do you struggle to stay focused on important projects or find yourself making impulsive decisions you later regret? This week, we’re revisiting an old but favourite episode, where we discuss exactly that. In a world where attention is treated like currency, staying on task can feel impossible, but struggling to focus every now and then doesn’t necessarily mean something is “wrong” with you.

    As someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD very young, I have experienced both the common and niche symptoms, and discovered the most effective coping strategies for managing day to day life. Whether you’re curious if you might have ADHD, haven’t been diagnosed yet, or just want practical tips to improve your focus, this episode is for you.

  • How to Make Exercise a Habit in Your 20's (and stick with it) (TB)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Since winter has hit us like a bus this week, and leaving the house to brave the cold now requires some serious mental preparation, I thought it was the perfect time to talk about building the habit of exercising (even when it feels absolutely arctic outside).

    This week, we’re bringing back a solo session all about why it’s so important to establish an exercise routine in our 20s. With social media constantly telling us how we should be moving our bodies, it can get pretty overwhelming. 

    So today, I’m breaking down how to make exercise a natural, enjoyable part of your routine in the simplest way possible. I’m also diving into the many benefits of exercise, including a few you might not expect.

    If you want to become more consistent with movement and actually enjoy it (instead of forcing yourself through every workout), you won’t regret giving this one a listen.

  • How to Break The Doom Scroll Cycle

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ever told yourself, “I’m just going to take a quick break” and then looked up an hour later, deep in the doom scroll?

    Between Instagram reels, endless notifications, and that creeping guilt of “where did my time go?”, it’s easy to feel stuck in a loop. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a low-maintenance guide to doom-scrolling less without completely changing your routine or giving up your favourite apps.

    Join me for a much-needed DMC on being more present, finding balance with our screens, and making sure we don’t look back on our 20s as one long scroll session.

  • How to Be Fit Without Making It Your Personality in Your 20s (Ft Motivate With Maria)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever felt like the world of sports and fitness has shifted from being about health and connection to constant competition and pressure? Like if you start running, people immediately expect you to sign up for a marathon?

    This week, we’re joined by 22 year old rugby player and content creator Maria, known on Instagram as @MotivateWithMaria. Maria opens up about her journey with fitness, grief, and self-expression and how movement can be a healthy outlet rather than your whole identity.

    We explore how fitness can serve as a release during tough times, especially in the face of loss, and how it doesn’t have to come with expectations or prove anything to anyone.

    This episode is a reminder that it’s okay to take up space in the fitness world without chasing extremes and that healing and health can look different for everyone.
