This episode came straight out of a moment inside The Done Era community. We played an A to Z game where everyone named something they were completely done with, and the responses turned into a collective manifesto I haven't been able to stop thinking about. It was honest, cathartic, a little spicy, and a full body exhale for so many of us.

Inside this episode I share:

• Our community's unfiltered A to Z of things we are done with.
• Why naming what you're done with can feel like dropping a backpack you didn't know you were carrying.
• How letting go of something often opens new kinds of connection.
• The freedom that comes from choosing yourself without justification.

My hope is that hearing these back to back gives you the same permission it gave us. The kind that whispers hey, you're allowed to put that down. You're allowed to change. You're allowed to choose yourself without giving anyone a five point essay.

If something inside you nods along or exhales while you listen, take that as your sign. Your done era starts with naming what you're done with, and if you want more of this energy in your corner, here's the link to join The Done Era community.

In this episode, I'm talking about the part of growth nobody glamorises online. Not the breakthroughs. Not the wins. The bruise pokes.

The moments where stretching into something new lights up the oldest, rawest stories you thought you'd already healed.

In this episode I discuss:

• Why growth often reactivates old abandonment and rejection wounds.
• How your body confuses present-day expansion with past danger.
• Why tenderness doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.
• The myth of "if I were confident enough, this wouldn't bother me."
• How to meet the bruise without shrinking, spiralling, or fixing.
• Simple ways to soothe the younger parts of you that panic when things get bigger.

This is a grounded, real conversation about the messy emotional underbelly of transformation.

If you've ever wondered why getting what you want can still feel wobbly, raw, or "too much," this one's for you.

Come tell me in The Done Era where is growth poking your old bruise right now?

We glorify finishing, the neat endings, the polished goodbyes, the stories that wrap up with a bow. But most endings aren't neat. They're quiet, messy, or gut-wrenching.

This episode is for the part of you that knows something's done, but keeps hoping you can fix it, revive it, or make it pretty. Whether it's a job, a friendship, a creative project, or a whole identity, there's a moment when you realise: "If it costs me peace, it's already too expensive."

In this episode I discuss:

• The myth of the tidy ending (and why we chase it).

• The moment you know you're done, not when it's over, but when it's draining you.

• How to hold the grief tangled up with the relief.

• Why letting go is the most honest kind of self-respect.

You'll leave this one feeling lighter and maybe ready to finally call DONE on something that's been weighing you down.

If this hits, join me live for my next workshop "Done Is a Decision" inside The Done Era where we talk about how to spot when something's run its course and how to let it go without guilt.

This one's for everyone who's ever been labelled "too loud, too direct, too intense, too much." In this episode I rant (lovingly) about:

• Why "too much" is rarely about you and always about them.

• Boundaries 101: you're not responsible for other adults' inboxes or podcast apps.

• How to stop shrinking to fit someone else's comfort zone.

Ever feel like business is just one long game of "try this, ditch that, oh hell no not again"? In this episode, I share the very real highs and lows of experimenting with new platforms, specifically my fresh leap into Skool (yep, spelled S-K-O-O-L).

I talk about:

• The difference between busywork and needle-moving work.

• Why I left Facebook groups (and why I missed them).

• What Skool feels like compared to the "old Facebook days."

• How I'm using theme days like Messy Monday and F*ck Yeah Friday to spark real conversation.

• The gamification element, from Silent Supporter to Nope Ninja, and why prizes make it fun.

• The deeper invitation: stop people-pleasing, stop performing, and start being unapologetically YOU!

Whether you're curious about Skool, craving connection, or just need permission to step into your own Done Era, this episode will give you both laughs and a nudge to do things your way.

After nearly 500 episodes, my podcast almost broke me. What started as pure joy, 100 episodes in 100 days, no rules, no pressure, slowly turned into a slog under the weight of "expert" advice. Thumbnails, guests, episode lengths, SEO, every new rule was another brick in my backpack.

In this episode, I share how I nearly quit, what finally snapped me out of it, and why I'm choosing my own destiny from here on out. No more outsourcing my intuition. No more performing for approval. Just me, my mic, and a whole lot of Done Era energy.

If you've got a project that once lit you up but now feels heavy, maybe you're not broken. Maybe the rules you've been trying to follow were never meant for you.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• The moment my podcast stopped feeling like mine.

• Why well-meaning (and not-so-well-meaning) advice can steal your spark.

• How outsourcing your intuition dilutes your joy.

• What "choose your own destiny" energy looks like in practice.

• An invitation to reclaim the creative thing you thought you'd lost.

Today I'm joined by Carrie Bradley to talk codependence, emotional labour, money confidence, and the spicy question most people avoid: What do you actually want?

We cover why honesty is the ultimate gift, why small daily actions beat dramatic life overhauls, and how to stop being the exploding doormat.

Also featuring: mumcations, perfume trauma, and a lazy-river house plan that would make a billionaire blush.

In this episode, we discuss

• What "codependence" really looks like in everyday relationships, not just textbooks.

• Emotional labour as an invisible job and how to stop doing two jobs for the price of none.

• The finance split: building confidence so you can stand on your own two feet.

• The guilt signal: spotting "should" energy vs genuine desire.

• Integrity, self-trust, and why honesty saves relationships.

• Fantasy as a tool for dreaming bigger in life, love, money, and work.

• Why tiny consistent actions will do more for your future than one heroic leap.

Today I sit down with Nicole Adey for a raw and honest chat about energy as life currency, burnout, and why quitting your job (or moving house) doesn't magically refill your tank.

Nicole shares her Energy Allocation Audit, a simple but powerful way to see how much of your daily juice is being siphoned off by the past, drained by the future, and actually left for right now.

We talk boundaries, self-worth, low-hanging fruit, and why canceling plans might be the healthiest thing you do this week.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why energy is the currency most people ignore until it's gone.

• How trauma and unprocessed grief sneak into your "battery life."

• The "today problem" filter to cut rumination in its tracks.

• Why it's not selfish to put yourself first, it's survival.

• Boundaries, burnout, and what it really takes to thrive.
