Sunday Sofa Series

In July 2023 I was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes, aged 26, after months of unexplained symptoms. In this episode, I share a letter I wrote to my Diabetes, the reality of daily management, and how I'm still making sense of this part of my life

From the carefree days of 2011 to a sudden descent into eating disorders, depression, and years of struggle - this is my story of mental health. It's raw, vulnerable, and honest - but also about helping, resilience, and the slow return to the little girl I left behind

Five years ago this podcast begun as Becoming A Butterfly - messy, raw, unfiltered. It's grown with me, and now becomes the Sunday Sofa Series. In this episode, I share my story, why I'm starting this new chapter, and what you can expect each week

A very casual chat about feeling vulnerable & lonely, and wondering if actually life is just one weird mind map of conflicting emotions.

An absolute ramble shamble. This episode is as much of a rollercoaster as your twenties is. Enjoy the chaos!

An updated version of season 1s popular topic - BOYS! This time reflecting more on what I've learnt from recent experiences.

Reigniting the podcast means a new intro to what it's all about - a very chaotic ramble updating you & informing you on what 'Becoming A Butterfly' will talk about - enjoy at your own risk :) :)

Learning to let go, reduce expectations, embrace change, and find the joy in the fact that nothing lasts forever

S3 is all about recording the topics from S1 from a different perspective - after more healing, learning, and growing. Starting with the main topic that changed my life...

A little ramble about how my T1 Diabetes diagnosis triggered some uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and what that taught me.

A short ramble about my new job, what it's like to let go of planning for the future, and being grateful for the present.

An insight to what it's really like living with Chronic Fatigue. I struggled with it for around 6 months off the back of long COVID (which reoccured 3 times in 12 months) and glandular fever, leaving my body's immune system on the floor. I was scared to tell people what I was going through due to fears of judgement. Give it a listen and see what you can learn!

Unsurprisingly I can't even remember what I said in this episode - I recorded it impulsively and then left it for a week and now I'm not sure what I'm even talking about (ADHDers will understand). But hey, that's the beauty of my podcast - less highlights, more reality. Welcome to my weird n wonderful self talking about ADHD and how my diagnosis has positively changed my life.

I AM BACK BBY ! With a slight twist from last season, where every episode was a deep chat into the things I've experienced with Mental Illness and more. Today's episode is slightly more lighthearted, with some rambling as I find my feet again in the world of podcasting. 

In this short ramble I talk about the stigma of Mental Health and the stereotype of different illnesses. I also discuss people's opinions on tattoos.

In this ramble I talk about the difference between a positive and negative mindset, strengthening your mind as a muscle, being realistic, and utilising your power for change.

In this episode I talk about money! A random topic it seems, but I have always had a lot of anxiety when it comes to earning, spending, and having money. I discuss the difficulties of this and how I've worked on it when travelling and making the most of my time.

In this episode I delve into my experiences at school, what my learning environment looked like, and how that affected my teenage years. I talk about school, friends, sports, teachers, and more.

In this episode I talk about my personal experiences with body image, focusing on body dysmorphia and trying to understand what it is. I also touch on how your body image may be affected and influenced by things, both consciously & subconsciously.
