Unexpectedly Solo

Urgency Culture

Come with me as I go for a walk and reflect on how slowing down has improved my overall wellbeing, down to my health, parenting and relationships. I speak about the impact of urgency culture on me and my aim to resist it to maintain balance.

Silence in Self Advocacy

Just when I thought I’d wrapped up one journey, life threw me into another—this time, one that forced me to face my health head-on. With that came challenges at work, co-parenting struggles, and the realisation that not everything needs to be handled immediately. Some things can wait. In this episode, I open up about learning to slow down, listen to my body, and give myself the time I need to rest, reset and centre myself. Because sometimes, pressing pause is the most powerful thing we can do.

Divorcée

The email of finality arrived today, January 6, 2025. Join me as I share my thoughts and emotions on this pivotal moment and reflect on how I plan to turn the page and begin a bold new chapter. It’s not just an ending—it’s the start of something transformative.

Closing the chapter

As the new year begins, I find myself approaching a new chapter: nearing the finalisation of my divorce. In this episode, I reflect on what this means for me as a solo mum, navigating life while prioritising myself and my children. I explore the lessons I’ve learnt, the hopes I hold for the future, and the fears that come with trusting someone again. It’s a journey of self-discovery, healing, and imagining what love and partnership could look like on my own terms."

That time I was Barbra the Builder

This year has been a ride! As we’re closing it out, I’ve been thinking about the choices I made that really set me up to win this year. It had me realising the importance making critical choices and times when I did not always make the best choice which set me up to play the role of ‘Barbra the builder’. So, tune in for a candid chat about lessons learned, wins secured, and making better choices for the future. Let’s get into it!
