Some of them are practical and have made a real difference to how I look and feel in my body.

Your Ex-Boyfriend Is Watching: The Awkward Reality of Building A Business On Social Media

I've been running my own businesses for seven years - all of them public facing, all of them built on social media, all of them visible to anyone who wanted to look. And for most of that time I've shown you the parts that look good. This week I'm showing you the parts that don't. This is the episode I couldn't have recorded a year ago. The one where I talk honestly about what it actually costs to build something publicly: the loneliness, the months you work for free, the launches that flop, the self-doubt you have to push through anyway. And the genuinely awkward reality of building a career that your school friends, your neighbours, your kids' teachers and your ex-boyfriend can all see in real time. No insta-perfect highlight reel. Just the truth, including what I did about it and why I have absolutely zero regrets. If you've ever thought about working for yourself, already do, or just want to hear what seven years of doing it publicly has actually looked and felt like, this one's for you.

Biz Class, Blow-Outs and Pad Thai: Travelling the World with Young Kids

I worked in travel, I met my husband through travel, and when we had babies the deal we made was simple: it wouldn't stop us. Seven years in, it mostly hasn't - but it has humbled us. Prams, nap times and little legs have a way of rewriting your plans. We've done less than we imagined in some ways, and more than most people would attempt in others, and the outcome is that our children are now easy, fantastic travellers. Today I'm sharing the dos and don'ts I've learned the hard way - and a couple of travel fails that still make me cringe.

Serendipity, Near Misses and the Life I Nearly Didn't Have

I'm someone who believes in making things happen. In taking risks, making bold moves, doing the scary thing. And most of the good stuff in my life has come from exactly that. But there are a few moments I keep coming back to - moments that had absolutely nothing to do with me. A chance encounter. A near-miss. A relationship that nearly didn't happen. This week I'm talking about the accidental moments that changed everything - meeting my husband, meeting a life-long friend, and two difficult experiences I had very little control over that I've never really spoken about publicly before. It's not an episode about fate. It's an episode about what happens when luck shows up and you happen to be ready for it.

I Accidentally Turned My Home Into a Luxury Spa Retreat: Here Are The 10 Things I Did

What does a luxury hotel actually sell you? It's not the pool. It's not the thread count. It's that feeling when you walk into the lobby after a long day and your shoulders just drop. So why do we only let ourselves feel that on holiday? This week I'm sharing the 10 things I've actually done to recreate that feeling at home — and none of it requires a big house or a Four Seasons budget. Some of it costs almost nothing. All of it has genuinely changed how I feel in my own space every single day. Because around 60% of us only practise self-care when we're already burned out. This episode is about building it into your life instead. Your home should feel like somewhere you want to be... let's make that happen.
