  • S4 Ep5 Money Talks: Bargain Baddies Tell All
    Nov 4 2025

    This week on Up Past Bedtime, we are going full Bargain Baddie mode. I’m sharing some of the best money saving hacks, tricks and strategies that have come out of my Instagram subscriber group chat, where 250 women are swapping deals, tips and smarter ways to spend. We chat about using Up Bank to make budgeting actually work, how to make the most of frequent flyer points, getting strategic with ShopBack and Black Friday, and the everyday wins that come from things like Amazon and OnePass.

    More than anything, this episode is about how powerful it is when women talk openly about money. Learning, sharing, unlearning and lifting each other up. The Bargain Baddies really said collaboration over competition.

    If you love a deal, love a chat and love feeling like you’re actually getting your life together, this one is for you. 💸✨

  • S4 Ep 4: October Life Update - PMDD, Stress & Figuring out where to live
    Oct 28 2025

    This week I’m catching you up on what’s been going on behind the scenes. I open up about my PMDD diagnosis, how hard it can be to actually get help, and the stress of juggling it all as a single mum. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind trying to manage my mental health, money, and living situation all at once, but I wanted to share it honestly.

  • After Dark S4 Ep1 - Drunk Diaries 🍾🤢
    Oct 22 2025

    After Dark is finally back and I couldn’t be more excited. You guys loved it last season, so we’re bringing it back bigger, juicier, and even more unfiltered. In this season’s first After Dark episode, I’m introducing a brand new segment called Five Minute Fix, where I give my best advice on your dilemmas in five minutes or less. Then we dive straight into this week’s theme, Drunk Diaries. I’m sharing some of my own chaotic, hilarious drinking stories and reading out some of yours too. From wild nights to next-day regrets, it’s the perfect mix of relatable, embarrassing, and downright funny.
