This episode is a full-on life catch-up with a side of real talk and a sprinkle of “how am I still functioning?”

I’m diving into receiving Arts Council funding (yes, still in shock, still incredibly grateful) and what that means for me creatively. Then we get into the wholesome chaos of my friend Rubie getting engaged, from the stories that built our friendship to now planning outfits and getting way too excited for the wedding.

From there… we spiral slightly. Periods, the pill, and the absolute betrayal of thinking it would cancel them out. Spoiler: it did not.

I also confess to losing my Temu virginity, getting cashback like a budgeting queen, and sharing my favourite broke bitch tips on how to make your money stretch without sacrificing your personality.

To round it all off, I get into overthinking, how to stop letting it run your life, and why choosing to focus on the positives actually changes everything. Because at the end of the day, do you want to be the person people remember for good energy… or the one who complains about everything?

Real life, a bit unhinged, but always trying to find the light in it.

Running a small business in this economy feels a bit like building a plane while flying it. In this episode, I talk honestly about what it really looks like to pivot your goals when the plan you had no longer makes sense, and how adapting isn’t failing, it’s evolving.

I also open up about stepping into a new relationship while unpacking the not-so-glamorous baggage from old ones. Broken trust has a funny way of sneaking into places it doesn’t belong, and I share what it’s been like learning to handle that in a healthy, self-aware way instead of letting it sabotage something good.

There are some chaotic and hilarious doggy day care stories thrown in too, because working with dogs guarantees at least one daily plot twist.

And we get into “energy” not in a crystal ball way, but in a real-life way. The energy you bring into rooms. The energy people leave behind. The energy you tolerate. The energy you protect.

It’s honest, reflective, a little funny, and very much about growth in real time.

Dating apps are still unhinged, content creation still brings me joy, and yes, men are still saying shocking things out loud. This week I talk broke girl outlet tips, Emily in Paris, the north south divide, classic Mansfield sayings, and how stress shows up in your body before your brain catches on. Laughs, rants and a reminder to look after yourself. ❤️
