Getting vulnerable with yourself might be the most attractive thing you ever do. This kiss-and-tell episode unpacks why my relationship ended, and what I learnt.

I’ve just kissed goodbye to someone I dated three years ago. She couldn’t really remember why we split… but I can. The truth is simple, but uncomfortable: it wasn’t her. It was me.

In an honest, very vulnerable reflection, I talk about the gap between looking confident and feeling confident, how neediness can show up when you’re not meeting your own needs, and why people-pleasing + over-giving can quietly wreck your emotional availability.

The core takeaway: you’ll only get what you want from a relationship when you prioritise self-care and protected time out. Not as a luxury—as a prerequisite.

If you’re navigating dating, ADHD overwhelm, emotional burnout, or you want healthier relationships with better boundaries, maybe this episode's for you!?
