I wanted to talk to Simon, because his whole thing isn’t really “quit your job and become a millionaire”, it’s much more about building a life that actually feels like yours and being honest about the fact that most people already know what they want, they’ve just convinced themselves they can’t have it.

We had some really interesting debates around work, money, privilege, purpose and what actually makes a “good” life, which made the whole conversation feel much more honest and nuanced and hopefully makes you question whether the thing you keep putting off is maybe the exact thing you should stop ignoring.

I hope you enjoy listening!!

This week, we are talking about something that I genuinely think is shaping our careers, our creativity, our relationships, and our confidence more than we realise, which is the fear of being cringe.

I did a bonus episode on this over a year ago now and it got such a huge response, and since then I’ve come to genuinely think the main thing that holds most people back is not lack of talent, not lack of ideas, not even lack of discipline. It’s fear of what other people think.

So this episode is basically me unpacking all of that, the psychology behind why we care so much about what people think, why we massively overestimate how much people are paying attention to us, and the practical things that have genuinely helped me stop letting fear of perception make my decisions for me.

I was so excited to record with Ashley James, I've loved her videos for ages, and I knew we'd get on like a house on fire. We talk about shame, body image, speaking up, and how your relationship with yourself evolves over time.

And I think if you’re in a phase where you’re questioning things a bit, you’re going through a big life change like me, or you’re trying to feel more confident, or just trying to understand yourself a bit better, there will be something in this episode for you.

So think of it as a bit of a guide to surviving your 20s, thriving in your 30s, and just generally learning how to live a bit more on your own terms.

I hope you love it!

An episode like old times: I found a theory, and became obsessed with it!

So let's break down the science behind alter egos, why they actually work, and how to create one in a way that doesn’t feel weird and won’t mean you lose yourself. I hope you find it useful!

Right everyone, it’s time for a part two. Way back in 2023, Sarah Tilse, also known as Sarah’s Day came on the podcast, we had a super honest chat about the early online fitness industry, and how she looks at it retrospectively.

So when I knew I was coming back to Australia, I knew we needed a proper catch up. And once again, it’s a big chat, with a lot covered! I hope you love it!

We've officially made it to EPISODE 200!! So I’ve gone back through the last 100 episodes since we last celebrated and pulled out some of the best advice we’ve ever had on this podcast, the moments that actually changed how I think, or approach my life. Going back through these conversations has been a bit of a reminder to myself as well of how much I’ve learnt just from sitting down and asking people questions. So whether you’ve listened to one episode or all 200, this is a really good one to dip into.

I’m chatting to Sal and Al from Two Broke Chicks, and we’re talking about how to have a glow up your routine for the rest of this year. They’re experts on budgeting without scrimping, so we get into how to keep your “rich girl habits” even when you’re on a budget, payday routines, budgeting habits that actually work, the routines that actually change your life, and the small changes that make the biggest difference to your finances.

I genuinely think 18 year old me would be in complete disbelief that this episode exists.

So for some context for anyone who hasn't been here for 10 years, Kayla Itsines is the reason I started this Instagram account at all, I literally had “Kayla” in my username because my page was dedicated to doing her guide. In a weird way, everything that came after that was a complete snowball effect into what I do now, and what my life looks like, so getting to sit down with her felt very, very full circle.

I really wanted this conversation to go deeper than just the "Bikini Body Guide" era and how quickly it grew. We get into success, what it means to be thrust into it so young, what it does to the people around you, and how you navigate big life moments in the public eye. We also speak about pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss in a way neither of us have really shared online before, as well as her decision to fully reacquire Sweat after selling it for $400 million in 2021.

This is honestly one of my favourite episodes we’ve ever recorded and I feel so grateful to Kayla for not only rearranging a flight to make it happen, but also being so open and honest with me. What a woman.

If I told you there was one daily habit that could meaningfully increase your baseline happiness, support emotional regulation, and improve how your brain copes with stress over time, it would probably sound like an oversimplification. But hear me out, because this small bit of advice has changed my life.
