  • Navigating changes in friendship w/ Sasha White

    WELCOME BACK to season 2 episode 2 of Why Not? 

    I'VE BEEN BUSY OKAY! .... Apologies for my long break between episodes. I am back COVID POSITIVE and straight into conversation with my good friend Sasha White. From the depths of my isolation, I phone in Sasha to have a conversation all about how to navigate friendships throughout changes in our lives and give our advice on what you can do to support those nearest and dearest to you. We chat about our attachment styles and what this means for our relationships AND discuss the idea of having a 'BEST FRIEND' ... is having one ride or die beneficial to us? or is it the very thing that creates problems? Join us to be a part of the convo!

  • A night with REFLEX w/ Ella and Belle
    Trigger warning: Consent and sexual abuse 
    EPISODE 6 
    This week I got deep talking with my two friends Ella and Belle. With the help of Flex Mami's REFLEX card games, we discussed some important topics in our lives and BOY did we have a good chat. However, this week's ep comes with a trigger warning as we delved into a discussion about consent and touched on sexual abuse and non-consensual relationships. We spoke about the poor sex education programs in our Victorian schools as well as touched on how to recognise positive and negative friendships, especially during a pandemic.

  • So, you want to be a nurse? w/ Milena and Brianna
    EPSIODE 4 
    This week we take a deep dive into all things NURSING! As some of you may know I have started this year (a very hard year at that) working as a graduate registered nurse in a Melbourne hospital. BUT i've brought in two more incredible graduate nurses Milena and Brianna who I went to uni with to help me unpack this topic. We talk (with the occasional rant) all things hospitals, nursing and how we've adjusted to life on the front line in the middle of a freaking global PANDEMIC! So join us as we complain, laugh, and reflect on how grateful we all are for this incredible profession and the life experiences it gives us. 
    Caution: we obviously talk about covid in this ep (duh) so if you're looking for a sweet escape from the rona' (totally understandable) , this ep may not be for you. BUT ALAS i've got three recent eps you can get in your ears!!
    If you want to follow along with Milena's educational nursing journey you can join her following @nurse__mil + Your Pocket Nurse the Podcast on Spotify!
