Hi wonderful humans.
I took some time off podcasting this year (tbh, work was very busy, and I had lots of planning and to-dos, so creating content fell off). But – after an eventful week – and now WAY more time on my hands, I have decided to use my voice. Surprisingly, with recent life changes and unexpected news RE: health and work, I've felt more inspired...
It's story time! It feels like a reinvention period, and unlike ...
Welcome to another episode in season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod, and an episode on a topic that's SUPER important to me: Empathy. This was brought about by some family friction this recent Christmas (because, duh!).
I chat about said family friction, how it affected me, and what I realised about myself and my defaults as a result of other people's situations and emotions. And tbh, I wasn't totally happy about it. Moving...
NEWS FLASH: I’m living back in Vancouver. With a housemate. I’m a freelance Creative. I’m turning 34 this month. And I feel BACK in my vibe, baby! I haven’t felt this content, aligned, and on-the-up for a while! Emerging from a dusty and down period, I know and accept myself more than ever. So today, I’ma share my views on ‘adulting’ and societal expectations at this age, and what my situation is. I’m now a SOFT GIRL.
Themes in ...
Been through some tough times lately? Life feel a bit out of control and you're finding it hard to cope? Settle in to this episode, I've got you.
This is part 2 to the episode, 'Handling Change is Harder in My 30s.' Here are my learnings in hindsight on getting through lots of life sectors being in flux and uncertain simultaneously – work, love life, and constantly moving around living out of a suitcase. I felt I was about to implo...
Welcome to season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod!! I thought I'd mark 2025 with a brand-new season. Thank god 2024 is over... It was a tumultuous and very fast-moving year. I am happy to move on to more pleasant, stable, and peaceful pastures.
This episode, I share how I start every new year in a softer, self-compassionate, and less strict way (I am not a fan of the old 'new year's resolutions' lark and its connotations – you'll find ...
I AM BACK after 4 months out! I missed being here, but tbh I just wasn't ready. 2024 may have knocked me a lot harder than ’23 (!!?)–because boy was it full of change and uncertainty–so much so, I took time off podcasting to refocus on getting well and clear. So here's my life update. The theme is: Rejection + Reflection = Redirection.
The end of the year is usually the time for taking stock of impactful events, so here are mine,...
Hi Hi! Here's your July episode. This is a VERY personal one...
If you feel a bit lost, are going through change in yourself or are seeking some advice on how to feel better about who you are, this episode is for you.
I've had a decent stint diving into 'Self' lately, relearning who I am now. The end of 2023/first half of 2024 saw me going through a lot of change and uncertainty; in life, moving, relationships...
I AM BACK, as always, in late fashion. This one's a juicy one and deserved some time aging in the barrel.
Here are my reflections on how different–and the same–uprooting life and moving to Canada for a second has been–but this time in my thirties...
For anyone who is thinking of moving abroad, wants to understand what you might learn, is curious about Canada, or who has moved abroad and wants to feel a bit seen, this one's ...
Hi! Gosh, missed you all. First up: BIG SHOUT-OUT TO YOU. We hit 10k, all-time listens of The Mobile Mentor and I am JAZZED. <3 <3 Here's to 10 more in half the time, haha!
This week, a little diary entry for you (not a big life update 'cos I'm saving a juicy one for a cruise lowdown episode!). Here's what's been up lately; something feels off and I am tryna work out what it is...I'm at a crossroads fe...
Intuition. It is SO important. And the older I get, the more I realise this. In the Western world, we aren't taught how to connect with it aka listen to ourselves. So, when I was younger I kinda went around 'thinking' a lot; doing what 'I should' do and what is 'valuable' (in society's terms). I guess I was ruled by the dominant culture and the 'norm' like many of us. BUT, here's what I h...
This January baby is 33. And loves it! Tune in to hear why...

Remember peeps: do what's right for yo...
Hey cuties. Happy 2024, I guess? Weird time to be alive... Here's what's been poppin' this side of the world for me since moving to Vancouver, Canada in Oct 2023 and being away from the motherland. Hope you've all been as well as can be.
In This Episode:
Hi, lovely people. Hope you're all holding up in current circumstances. (I know it's super sad and heavy for many right now.)
I'm back again after a significant life change and wanted to settle in before 'reporting' back. I MOVED TO CANADA (solo) from the UK! It's been just what I needed. I've been here for just over 6 weeks now! Here's the down low on why I left, why it's working for me, and wh...
How is it Q4 of 2023, already? Hi again, pals! This episode is an audio diary with new insights on Self and being human in low, uncertain, ever-changing times, plus some actionable bits on how I've been managing it. Finally found some energy to vocalise what's been going on–OPEN and VULNERABLE as always. Ps. The WIP title for this was: 'Am I Pessimist? Feeling the Ups and Downs More Than the Average Joe?' so that...
Hi, wonderful peeps! This one's for the times you don't know what's coming or what lies ahead... When everything is soooo open and daunting, and it's making you anxious. (Basically where I've been the past few months.) Coming atcha with a simple way to handle those periods of uncertainty–'cos I bet I'm not the only one who's been going through it, as of late. Here's a psychological concept and an...

Hi, folks! So glad to be back. This topic's a little novel for me but still relevant in my Mobile Mentor meanderings, nonetheless. If you're a designer, writer, carpenter, photographer, creator of any kind (digital or otherwise), or just HUMAN, listen to this episode!
...Hiiiiyaaa folks!! Welcome to JUNE. Yes, it's June already... Also, thank goodness for a lighter mood this week (I was getting sick of myself being so down). This episode, you've got another Audiovlog - HURRAH. Listen to what I've been up to in London lately. Plus:
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
