#18 - The heart can’t read the fine print…

We’ve created a culture where every feeling is expected to fit into a tidy label, every connection into a clearly defined category, and every emotional response into a neat little box. But real life? It rarely works like that.

This episode is for the people who thought they were “fine” until they weren’t. For anyone who’s ever said “it’s casual” while quietly hoping it might be more. For those who’ve felt something meaningful in a moment that wasn’t meant to mean anything. It’s not just about dating, it’s about the emotional grey zones we live in when things don’t go the way we’d hoped, and how to sit with that instead of scrambling to fix, label, or deny it.

I talk about the power of honest communication, even when it’s vulnerable and confronting. The importance of letting yourself feel it before you rush to fix it. And how sometimes, the most empowering thing you can do is admit that your heart hurts a little… and not apologise for it.

This one’s equal parts voice note to a friend, emotional accountability checkpoint, and a loving reminder that you’re not alone in the mess.
