I recently took my wounded heart to Sri Lanka, where I read a book called "Liberated Love".

From here, I decided to put myself into a metaphorical container and limit myself in order to liberate myself and become a beautiful butterfly.

Enjoy my voice.

New season, who this?

When it comes to distance and absence, does it make the heart grow fonder? I hope this is the case for anyone who listens to my podcast and has not heard my dulcet tones for a while...

However, unfortunately for me and my most recent dating adventure, it is not the case. In fact, absence makes the heart grow... resentment?

Introducing, dating a people pleaser... ICK!

It has been a few months since I last graced the airwaves of Spotify, so strap in and listen to what I have been up to lately.

Love x"

In this episode, I take a look back at my last few weeks and months and unpack some recent feelings that came up when I returned to Newcastle after some time away.

I tap into my ability to be bold and although it comes with many challenges and rejections, realise it is always the things you don't say or ask that you regret. Let's remove the stigma of being forward and bold and encourage someone to ask you out and never be afraid to be the person who does the asking out. I have trauma that my message will be screenshot, passed around and I will be laughed at... but then I remember that I am fabulous and people don't do that (I hope) and even if they did, the joke is on them.

Stop abandoning yourself in order to fit in. Have your back in all situations and let go of things, people and narratives that are no longer serving you.

Until next time.

Join me for one of my most extended chats, where Luke and I talk about consent.

Recently I had a situation where I received a non consensual picture from someone I was renting a room from while in Darwin. So I decided to talk about it with the master of consent himself, Luke Skewes.

Although comical at times, consent is a very serious topic and should be considered on all occasions.

Strap in, have a listen and hopefully you will learn something along the way.

Who knew in episode 1 that just 16 episodes later, I would have an escort diary? What a wild few months it has been!

Escorting is a total vibe, and I have removed the stigma I had on it, and am talking about it in the wild! Shame dies when you talk out loud.

Tips, tricks and some amusing commentary. Enjoy lovers!

This is 33... that is all I really have to say about this one.

Just a quick insight into my 33rd birthday. Inspired by a beautiful post a friend put up about their birthday. Cancerians for life!

Age is a gift, denied to so many! Enjoy it, embrace it and throw socks.

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away there was a gorgeous, confident, vivacious women (ME) who met a boy. They spent a wonderful day together and he filled her head with all the things she has longed to hear from the opposite sex. They connected, and she felt passion and excitement... this could be fun she thought!

But she was wrong, and this fairytale quickly turned into a ghost(ing) story.

The end.

Never one to let a sleeping dog lie, I am here to call out sh*tty behaviour.

BE BETTER!

PS: Check out the urban dictionary for some hilarious definitions of f*ck boys. I was going to pop one in here but there are too many and they are too funny to just pick one.

The elusive married man! It's hot... until it's not.

Join me and my great friend Luke as we discuss one of my most recent experiences and unpack the dynamic behind dating a married human. A theme that seems to be coming up for me a lot lately is communication!
