Plus, I’m sharing fr...

In this solo parenting episode, I share a personal experience navigating an emotional conversation with my primary school aged son. We explore how to reframe criticism, stay connected during big feelings, and use curiosity to support effective communication when kids are overwhelmed.

What if you’re not tired because you can’t handle “it” (whatever “it” is for you) - you’re tired because your nervous system has been stuck in overdrive. In this episode, I’m sharing the simple science behind Parasympathetic System Activation, and why learning to switch your nervous system out of constant survival mode is the most realistic, life-changing way to recover from burnout. ...

In this episode, we dive into the deeply human (and often quietly carried) experience of feeling lost. Maybe you’re questioning your career, your identity outside of motherhood, your purpose, or even where to live and how to make the “right” decisions.

This episode is a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood parts of modern relationships: desire. We unpack what desire really is (and what it isn’t), explore why it fades in long-term partnerships, and get honest about why feeling touched-out, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsupported makes intimacy feel like the last thing on your mind. We talk about spontaneous vs. responsive desire, the impact of resentment, and what ac...

When was the last time you felt excited? 

Properly excited, like jump up and down excited? Light you up from the inside excited? 

In this episode, we explore what excitement actually is, why it matters more than we often realise, and how it quietly disappears from our lives, especially in seasons of burnout, responsibility, or emotional flatness. We unpack the difference between big, macro excitements (like holidays, love...

This episode is personal but relatable as I unpack a recent realisation I had in a psychiatry session. It helped me to understand depletion and burnout, through a different lens. I share how this led me to re-visit concepts like The Spoon Theory and energy budgeting, I talk about the invisible toll of certain types of communication, the difference between restorative rest and numbing out, and why some days feel impossible even when...

This is part two of our conversation on modern masculinity and the lost boys study.

Listen to part one first.

We reflect on dating men, raising boys, the tensions between feminism and masculinity, the ways society sometimes leaves boys and men feeling lost, and the role we as women and mothers can play in helping raise strong, kind, grounded men. It’s a thoughtful, curious conversation about identity, expectations, and the me...

What are men? Really…

In this episode we discuss the “Lost Boys” study and what it reveals about the challenges facing boys and young men today. We explore the question of what it really means to be a man in the modern world, unpacking the traditional “pillars” of masculinity and how they’re shifting and breaking down. Along the way, we reflect on the tensions between feminism and masculinity, t...

In Part 2, we bring the conversation into the context of romantic relationships - how the false self shows up in dating, partnerships, and even long-term love. We unpack the cost of performing in order to be chosen, and what it means to feel safe enough to show up as your true self. We also talk about the fears that keep us stuck in these dynamics, and how to begin shifting into more authentic connection. This episode is both a mir...

Understanding the False Self: In this episode, we dive into the concept of the false self, the version of ourselves we create to gain love, approval, or safety. Often shaped by childhood conditioning, social expectations, or trauma, the false self can feel like a performance we’ve been living for so long that we start to mistake it for who we truly are. We explore how this identity forms, what it looks like in everyday life, ...

In this follow-up episode, we explore why red pill content resonates so deeply with boys and teens, not just because of what it says, but because of what’s missing elsewhere. We talk about the silence around masculinity, emotional literacy, and identity, and how that silence creates the perfect opening for extreme online voices to step in. This episode is a call to parents, educators, and anyone raising the next generation: i...

In this episode, we delve into the manipulative tactic known as DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. Often employed by individuals to deflect blame and invert the roles in a conflict, DARVO can leave victims feeling confused and doubting their own experiences. We explore real-life examples, discuss its psychological impact, and provide insights on how to recognise and respond to this form of manipulation. Unde...
