Starting Over | Anthony on Career Changes, Fatherhood & Breaking Point Moments

This episode, I’m joined by Anthony as we talk about the reality of changing careers while raising a young family, chasing a dream job, and carrying the pressure that comes with trying to “hold it all together.” We discuss stress, anxiety, identity, financial pressure, and the moments where life can feel like it’s becoming too much. Anthony opens up about the emotional toll that major life changes can have, how close he came to completely breaking down, and what helped him keep moving forward. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and a reminder that so many people are silently struggling while trying to build a better future for themselves and their families. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by responsibility, scared to take a risk, or like you’re carrying the weight of everything on your shoulders… this episode is for you. 💛 #MentalHealth #CareerChange #Anxiety #Stress #Fatherhood #Podcast #MentalHealthPodcast #ItsNotJustMe

We Accidentally Disappeared for 6 Months | Life Happened | A Very Needed Catch-Up

I’M BACK 😅 What started as a planned 6–8 week break somehow turned into 6 months away from the podcast… so I thought it was time for a proper catch-up.  In this solo catch-up episode, I talk about where we’ve been, what life has looked like lately, and why stepping away from the podcast ended up being something I genuinely needed.   If you’ve ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed, creatively drained, or like life pulled you in a different direction for a while… you’re definitely not alone.  #Podcast #Burnout #LifeUpdate #SmallBusiness #DisneyAdult #WomenWhoPodcast #CozyPodcast

When Fitness Becomes More Than Just Exercise | Joanna & Hayleah talk Turning Weight Loss to a Career

In this episode, I’m joined by a guest who found her way into the fitness world through her own personal weight loss journey and turned that transformation into a completely new career. We talk honestly about what it was like to start from scratch, the bumps along the way, and the moment she decided to leave a secure job behind to pursue something that felt more aligned. We also explore life as a personal trainer and Les Mills instructor and balancing multiple commitments. We dive into her first HYROX experience, what motivated her to sign up, how she trained around a busy life, and what the challenge represents on a deeper level. We also chat about community days, running workshops, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel supported, welcomed, and not alone. This is a conversation about growth, courage, community, and learning to trust yourself even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

Living with MS | Joanna and Becky discuss life changing hidden illnesses

In this week’s episode I sit down with my guest as she shares her journey of being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in her early 30s. She opens up about the moment she realised something wasn’t right, what made her finally seek help, and how she handled the fear and uncertainty that came with getting answers. We talk about what her life looked like before the diagnosis, how things changed afterward, and the lifestyle shifts she’s had to make as she learns to live with MS. She also lets us into the beautiful parts of her story, getting married, planning a honeymoon filled with adventure, and navigating the adjustments she needed to make so she could still enjoy every moment. This conversation is honest and full of strength. If you're living with a chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or just looking for stories of resilience and hope, I hope this episode makes you feel seen and less alone.

Spice, Escapes, Bat Boys... | Joanna and Stacy discuss Romance, Smut Books and BookTok Recommendations

This week I’m diving into the world of BookTok with a guest who knows the romance and smut genre inside and out. We talk about how these books have become a source of comfort, connection, and pure joy, especially when life feels overwhelming. We chat about what first pulled us in, how BookTok helped us find our people, and why these stories can feel so healing. We also explore the shame some readers feel around enjoying romance, how these books can boost confidence, and the surprising ways fictional relationships can teach us about our own lives. If you love a cosy read, a little spice, or a story that makes your heart beat a bit faster, this episode is for you. Grab a cup of tea and join us. Whatever your spice level....
