This week on Up Past Bedtime, Bella dives into the world of energy, spirituality, and healing with spiritual healer Kellie Moses. Yes, this one’s a little woo woo—so keep an open mind, or at least pretend you’re just here for the vibes.

Bella and Kellie explore the balance of masculine and feminine energy, the impact of past wounds on motherhood, and why setting boundaries (especially with love) is the ultimate flex. They also chat about energy as a currency, inner child healing, and the emotional gymnastics of saying no—because apparently, self-respect is a thing we should all have.

Whether you're deep into the spiritual space or just curious about alternative healing, this episode will leave you with plenty to think about (and maybe even some energetic homework).

In this episode ofUp Past Bedtime, Bella dives into the wild world of dating after a decade-long relationship. She shares the highs, the lows, and the downright bizarre moments of re-entering the dating scene as a single mom—covering everything from navigating co-parenting while dating to the strange (and sometimes cringeworthy) realities of men’s dating profiles. Bella gets candid about her dating preferences, the agony of small talk, and one particularly awkward first date that was riddled with red flags.

Beyond the dating disasters, Bella opens up about self-love, learning to enjoy her own company, and embracing the journey rather than rushing to find "the one." With her signature humour and honesty, she reminds us that patience, confidence, and a little bit of chaos are all part of the dating game.

In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, it was time for Bella to do a life update… it’s been a while! She gets personal, sharing major milestones and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Bella opens up about navigating life as a first-time renter, the bittersweet transition of her kids starting daycare and pre-kindy, and the realities of co-parenting post-divorce. She reflects on the emotional and financial challenges of separation, the shift from being a stay-at-home mum to balancing work and childcare, and the importance of maintaining an amicable co-parenting dynamic for the sake of her children.

She also gets real about dating after a long-term relationship, adjusting to financial independence, and the toll online hate has taken on her mental health. Plus, she shares insights into the everyday struggles of parenting—sleep issues, dietary restrictions, and the constant juggle of motherhood. And because no late-night chat is complete without a little fun, she spills her thoughts on reality TV.
