Hey legend, in this episode, we’re talkin’ about being seen—like, properly raw, sweaty-from-the-gym, no-makeup real. You know, the bits most people filter out on the ‘gram.

You’ll hear us unpack:

• Why perfectionism is just fear in high heels.
• The low-key anxiety of always trying to look the part.
• The sneaky ways old school comments (cheers, Mum) mess with your self-expression.
• How your support system IRL changes how you show up online.
• Reclaiming messy, no-pressure friendship hangs (yes to PJs, no to sparkly top expectations).
• What to do when your vibe starts evolving but your mates don’t.
• Creating sacred space for the raw you—even if it’s just on your lounge room floor with a bowl of twisties.

We get honest about loneliness, online masks, and why your heart probably needs a little tune-up from time to time. It’s all about showing up as yourself—even if that self is halfway through a bleed and not in the mood to talk.

You'll laugh, nod, and maybe feel called out in the best way.

Let this be your permission slip to stop performing and start just… being.
