Stop letting your ego convince you that you're not good enough

Mar 29th, 2021 50m 20s

Will achieving your goals actually make you happier?

Feb 9th, 2021 33m 2s

Body positivity is HARD

Jan 5th, 2021 27m 48s

Body positivity is surprisingly complex. It's not as simple as repeating a self-love mantra to yourself every morning and every night; in fact some days it can be a battle between the negative thoughts and the positive ones. It can feel like a

Instagram filters, Facetune and getting paid to catfish?

Dec 3rd, 2020 27m 40s

A month or so ago, I uploaded a podcast episode called 'sooo my life has been a bit of a mess this year', and the response really surprised me. So often when we're going through something tough, we feel isolated and alone; as if we're the only

How to find your purpose in life

Oct 29th, 2020 23m 39s

From a young age, we're asked what we want to be when we grow up. Then, when we're almost all grown up and about to graduate high school, we're asked again. We feel a pressure to have it all figured out. I need to do well in my exams so that I

Just eat the damn burger

Sep 30th, 2020 28m 18s

How many times a day do you beat yourself up about the food you eat? Do you eat a meal and then immediately feel guilty for doing so? Do you tell yourself you're not allowed to eat certain foods? I've struggled with this my entire life, and it'

We need to talk about racism

Sep 17th, 2020 42m 2s

Reece and I started this business in 2018 after spending years planning and developing it. It was the first big 'thing' I did outside of YouTube, and boy did we both learn a lot throughout the process (good and bad)! Deciding to close it down w

Why we allow other people to dictate how we feel about ourselves

Jul 28th, 2020 39m 17s

Whether it be our appearance, our personality or our success, most of us have a core set of beliefs about the person we are, and whether that person is 'good enough' or not. I've struggled with self worth and self doubt for as long as I can rem

If not now, when? (Seriously)

Apr 23rd, 2020 39m 40s

We're all in this habit of saying "one day" or, "I'd love to do that, but -" and we confine ourselves to the bounds of the 'safer' option, not realising what we're giving up in the process. It's so easy to get caught in the routine of wake up,

LOW SELF WORTH? Please listen to this!

Apr 2nd, 2020 57m 4s

If you listen to one podcast this year it needs to be this one. Yep, I'm backing it that much! Low self worth, high self doubt, feelings of inadequacy, general insecurities about the person I was and what I had to offer... they've all plagued m

Why I'm going to therapy

Mar 5th, 2020 51m 4s

This is something I never thought I'd be talking about because I never thought I'd be doing it in the first place. For me, therapy always seemed like something you'd only seek out if you were dealing with a lot of physical or emotional trauma,

Change your perspective, change your life!

Feb 27th, 2020 25m 52s

YouTuber scandals: let's talk about them

Feb 12th, 2020 38m 37s

Let's be real: we've all indulged in gossip before. Someone you know (or maybe even don't know) has done something to upset you or someone close to you, and so you talk about it. Maybe with one person, maybe with 10, maybe with more. You feel j
