Hello! I thought I would open up a bit and talk about my experience with quitting cigarettes when I was 19 and how I navigated the aftermath. I was quite a heavy smoker at the time and basically went cold turkey. I've never spoken about it online but thought a little ramble could help someone <3

In this episode, I talked to my friend Holly about her experience with uni, burnout, moving out with roommates, her current dating situation and her plans for the future as a fashion student! We cover a lot in this episode but it's just a chat between two friends so I hope you find some meaning in it all as we laugh along. <3

I had a lovely chat a few weeks ago with a fellow Media and Comms student from MQ Uni. Aaryan is a super inspiring and self-aware guy and he reached out to me in response to my previous episode 'saying yes'. Thanks to Aaryan for having a chat with me and I hope that you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, I talk about my attitude towards 'saying yes' and being more open to people and opportunities. This is no shade to my current friends but just me reflecting on meeting new people and being a bit more open. Been thinking a lot about this especially over the weekend so forgive me that it is a Tuesday <3 

Let me know what you think :) 

Have a good week! xx

Just me pondering social media and comparison culture. Super short episode, food for thought to get you through FOMO and getting over the 'learning' stages of new skills.

Today I am talking briefly about drinking culture and my relationship with alcohol. Everything I am saying is based on my personal experience, I do not judge anyone who chooses to drink or goes out on a regular basis, it is just not for me! <3
