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.

You know when you're meant to talk about business but the energy is just… off? Yeah, that was today.

In this shadowy, slow-mo episode, Stacey and Ané lean into the pause. We talk about endings, expectations, exhaustion, and why surrendering to the moment (instead of forcing it) might be the most productive thing you do all week.

In this ep, you’ll hear:

• Why we ditched the sales chat and went with the flow
• How to honour your energy when you’re at capacity (hello, full permission to rest)
• The emotional chaos of trying to make something “special”
• Letting client relationships fizzle (without the guilt)
• How trying to force a perfect moment usually ruins it
• Our favourite unexpectedly magical memories (spoiler: they weren’t planned)
• The pressure of photos, holidays, and high vibes — and why less is often more
• A reminder that not everything needs a grand gesture… sometimes you just need a bowl of wedges and a lemon lime bitters

✨ This one’s for you if you're feeling tired, over it, or like your brain’s playing ping pong. Come sit with us in the in-between. No pressure. No to-do list. Just a little space to breathe.

In this ep, Stacey and Ané get real about something no one talks about enough — how to protect your energy online.

We all know how to smudge our house or shield our aura... but what about your inbox? Your socials? Your bloody Notes app?

This episode covers:

• What “digital cord cutting” actually is (and why it’s a spiritual act)
• Signs you’ve got an energetic leak coming from your online world
• Why unfollowing, muting and blocking isn’t rude — it’s necessary
• The difference between a vibe mismatch and a trigger (and how to tell)
• Cord cutting rituals you can do with candles, string, jars of rice — or just your intuition
• The truth about psychic tethers, the evil eye, and why you can’t stop thinking about that one person
• How being “too nice” can get you energetically tangled (and how to quit the people-pleasing loop)

Whether you're clearing out your DMs, unsubscribing from noisy newsletters, or smashing plates in your backyard, this ep is here to remind you: your digital space is sacred too.

✨ So if your psychic Wi-Fi feels jammed, come have a listen. You'll walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and way less guilty about hitting “mute.”

💌 Wanna see a digital cord cutting ritual in action? Let us know — we’re planting the seed for a virtual workshop.
