S5:E10 My faith and spirituality journey - building my relationship with God again

A short but sweet episode about how I'm navigating my faith and spirituality journey! As a born and raised Catholic it's been interesting to witness the similarities and differences of catholicism and christianity. I moved completely away from the Church in my early 20s and instead found myself interested in nature, crystals, oracle cards, plant medicine, astrology and energy work. And I really loved being in this space! But now as a married woman, coming to the close of my 20's I have found myself turning to God again, and this has been encouraged even more by my husband who wasn't raised religious at all. It's been a nice time to explore it together and the most important thing for me is to not put any pressures on myself and to instead give myself grace. Enjoy! x

S5:E9 Unlearning hustle culture

One of my fave topics of all time, and that's because it is one of the first topics I ever chatted about on the podcast back in 2020!! Listen to episode two of the poddy here [https://open.spotify.com/episode/5mfP2DaoH6OYKPHti7aCVo?si=821ec397129f43e7]. If you've been around for a while, you know I've unfortunately had some pretty bad burnout periods in my life and it's taken years to recover from them, and ultimately led to me quitting my job at the end of 2022 so I could focus on healing my nervous system. Sometimes, it takes a drastic change to get back on track - I wouldn't like to think what my life would be like if I didn't do that though. Enjoy this chat about what I've done over the years to unlearn hustle culture and how to not buy into it, especially as a girl.

S5:E8 Reviewing the let them theory book by Mel Robbins!

I broke my hiatus of reading personal development books with one of the most popular books atm - The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. I had heard about the concept prior to reading and I thought it was a cool idea, and then I had the opportunity to read it in our book club. There has been mixed reviews about this book but I really loved it so much! It has already brought SO MUCH PEACE into my life as someone that wants to fix things, make everything better, and often I try to control how other people react to certain things. In the book you'll learn about the basics of the let them theory, and examples of how Mel has applied it to her life and then she expands further on the second part of the concept (which is very important) and thats the LET ME, but I'll leave you to listen to the episode (or read the book) to find out more about that. Happy listening! xx

S5:E7 Womens hormones 101 - how to live your life around your cycle

This one is for the guys and the gals!! One of my fave chats is women's hormones and our cycles because it wasn't something we were taught at school or by our parents. We live in a man's world on their 24 hour cycles which is not how a women's body works at all, instead we have a 28-32 day cycle that resets every time we get our periods. There are 4 phases within this cycle where we will feel tired, confident, happy, low energy etc depending on which one we're in. Learning to cycle sync in combination with coming off birth control was th best thing I ever did for my health - I hope you learn a thing or two from this ep!! x

S5:E6 How I learned to run like a girl - my running journey

I wasn't a runner until I became a runner! I need to preface this, because anyone can be a runner if they want to be! Used to loathe it, now I love it! I don't touch on too much in the episode of what running means to me - but it really has been my lifeline. The state of flow and calm I get to whilst running is so unmatched. I love pushing my body to new limits and seeing what I can achieve. Running is 100% a mental game and I'd like to say that I'm doing a pretty good job at playing it. I hope you enjoy this episode and it inspires at least one person to go for a run!!
