What if you’re not lost, you’re just meant to roam?

This week, I’m joined by my vivacious friend, fashion & travel writer and digital nomad Tess Pollard, who’s built a career across 117 countries, no office required. Tess didn’t go freelance to become a #girlboss; she did it because the idea of four weeks’ holiday a year was holding her back from her true calling.

We get into what it really means to build a life around freedom, why constant travel isn’t always glamorous, the tension between movement and milestones, and why living out of a backpack is far less romantic than it sounds (spoiler: she hates it).

If you’ve ever felt like life is nudging you to go, but fear, full calendars, or five-year plans are holding you back, this one’s for you.

What if the thing that slows you down ends up being the thing that makes you stronger?

This week, I’m joined by chronic illness coach March Hollingbery. As a woman who’s been navigating hospitals and hard decisions since childhood, she's built a mindset of gratitude and resilience which honestly I am hoping to achieve one day.

March didn’t choose chronic illness, but she did choose how to respond to it, with grit, wisdom, and a radical refusal to hustle through pain (although she's always working on that balance).

We talk about boundaries, burnout, and what it really means to listen to your body when the world expects you to perform.

If you’ve ever felt like life’s moving too fast and your body (or brain) is quietly screaming “do less, I beg” this episode is your permission slip.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Lisa Targett Bolding, co-founder of Big Beauty and one of the few people offering a refreshing, judgement free alternative to the tweakment trap.

We talk about what it’s like to age in the era of social media, the emotional whiplash of beauty culture, and why it’s become almost radical to let your face just… move.

Lisa shares her take on slow beauty, facial massage, and how reconnecting with our bodies might be more powerful than any injectable.

If you're navigating the space between acceptance and enhancement, this one's for you.
