You've Got Mail

Hi! You’ve got a voicemail from me, Bella, and this week I am exposing myself and chatting about why failing my A-level chemistry and having to go through clearing was actually the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has led me on a path that I would never have chosen for myself, but a path that has brought me so much joy.

Hi! You’ve got mail from me, Bella 💌

This week, we’re talking all about long-distance relationships. After someone wrote into my Substack advice column asking for help, it reminded me just how hard they can be. I see so many people starting long-distance, and just as many people ending things because of it—but not nearly enough stories about making it through.

So, as someone who’s now living with her once long-distance boyfriend, I wanted to bring a bit of honesty and hope into the conversation. We’re getting into what makes long distance so challenging, what actually helps, and whether it’s really worth it.

If you’re in one, thinking about one, or healing from one—this episode is for you.

Hi, you’ve got mail 💌 This week we’re discussing how being lucky is a mindset, and how, once you decide things are going to go your way, they often start to. We’re talking about mindset shifts, positive thinking, confidence, manifestation, self-belief, and how changing your perspective can help you attract better opportunities, relationships, and experiences.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unlucky, or frustrated, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the biggest change starts with the story you tell yourself.

Hi, you’ve got mail from me, Bella 💌

In this week’s episode of You’ve Got Mail, we’re discussing exam stress, anxiety, and how to cope during exam season. As someone who has sat GCSEs, A-Levels, a degree, and a Master’s, I’ve had my fair share of exams. I wish I were one of those cool, calm, collected people who never get bothered, but truthfully, I’ve always been an anxious wreck walking into the exam hall.

Whether you’re about to sit your first exam, final exam, GCSE, A-Level, university exam, or you’re listening back and remembering exactly how it felt, this episode is here to remind you that whatever happens, you are going to be okay.

We talk about managing pressure, dealing with nerves, mindset during exams, and remembering that your results do not define your worth.

Love, Bella x

Are you living your life… or just sticking to the plan?

In a world that glorifies routines, productivity, and having everything “figured out,” it’s easy to fall into a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t actually feel good to live. The early mornings, the to-do lists, the habits, the structure, when did they start running you?

In this episode, we’re talking about the fine line between discipline and disconnection. Because while routines can support us, they were never meant to replace us. Somewhere along the way, we stop checking in with how we feel and start measuring our lives by how well we stick to the plan.

This is your reminder that you’re allowed to live off script. To change your mind. To follow what feels good, even if it doesn’t make sense. To trust yourself again.

We’ll explore what it looks like to reconnect with your intuition, let go of rigid expectations, and build a life that feels as good as it looks.

Because a life well lived isn’t just one that’s organised, it’s one that’s actually felt.

Love,
Bella 💌

For years, I used to dread Valentine’s Day. I told myself it was superficial, overhyped, and proof that love shouldn’t be reduced to one day. But looking back, I don’t think I hated the holiday — I think I hated how performative love felt in my early twenties.

In this episode, I’m talking about performative romance, social media relationships, and the pressure to express love in ways that look impressive instead of feeling honest. When you’re in your early twenties and still learning how to trust yourself, it’s easy to confuse what love looks like with what love actually feels like.

We’ll explore:

Why love can feel performative in your 20s

The pressure to “prove” your relationship publicly

How social media shapes our expectations of romance

Why Valentine’s Day isn’t the problem — our understanding of love might be

Learning to trust your own definition of love

This episode is about emotional maturity, self-trust, and redefining love beyond grand gestures, aesthetics, and expectations.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you genuinely feel something — or just feel like you should — this conversation is for you.
