In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, I sat down with the incredible Kira Rumble — a successful entrepreneur, mum, and the founder of one of my favourite businesses, Mini + Me.

We had such a raw and honest conversation about what success really means, especially as women who are trying to do it all. Kira opened up about her journey through business and motherhood, sharing deeply personal experiences with infertility and hyperemesis gravidarum, and how those moments have shaped her definition of success today.

We spoke about the reality of navigating motherhood while running multiple businesses, the mental load that comes with it, and how important it is to be vulnerable and open — because it’s in those moments we find real connection and community. We also touched on our own experiences with ADHD and ASD, the pressure women feel to "have it all," and how we’ve both learned to prioritise happiness and intuition over hustle culture.

This episode is such a beautiful reminder that success doesn’t have to look one way — it can be soft, messy, meaningful, and entirely your own.

In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, I’m diving deep into something that’s been such a huge part of my personal journey lately - rediscovering my confidence. I talk on this journey, neurodivergence, motherhood, and everything in between. I open up about my ADHD and ASD diagnoses and how they’ve shaped the way I see myself, especially after navigating the thick fog of postpartum depression.

This episode is all about unmasking - letting go of the pressure to be who we think we should be and reconnecting with who we actually are. I talk about the constant tension between the curated version of ourselves and our real, raw selves, and what it’s looked like for me to start setting boundaries, stop people-pleasing, and finally feel more at home in my own skin.

I’m sharing personal stories, the messy bits, and some of the steps that have helped me start showing up more authentically in my life. If you’ve ever felt like you were performing instead of living (or if you’re just tired of being everything to everyone) , this one’s for you. Let’s talk about who we are when we stop hiding.

Welcome to the very first episode of Up Past Bedtime: After Dark — a new series where things get a little juicier, a little deeper, and definitely more unfiltered. Think of it like a late-night convo with your girlfriends once the kids are asleep and the wine is flowing. No topic is off limits here.

To kick it off, I’m playing Truth or Drink, answering your spicy, personal questions — and yes, I went there. From my favourite sex position (yep, we said it) to whether I regret ending my marriage, nothing was off the table. If I didn’t want to answer... I had to drink.

It’s raw, honest, a little wild, and exactly what After Dark is all about. Let’s stay up late together.

In this episode (and season) of Up Past Bedtime, I’m kicking off Season 3 with a theme that’s been close to my heart lately - rediscovery. This season is all about finding yourself again after life has completely reshaped who you thought you were. I’m sharing my own journey of change - through motherhood, identity loss, and all the messy, beautiful moments in between.Whether you’re in the thick of it or just coming out the other side, I want this space to feel like a warm hug and a pep talk all at once. We’ll be diving into honest reflections, powerful insights, and little prompts to help you reconnect with who you are now - not who you used to be. It’s time to let go of old versions of ourselves and make room for something new. And don’t worry - it’ll be raw, real, and still a whole lot of fun.

In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, host Bella sits down for an open and unfiltered conversation with Rach, the founder of LBDO, a female wellness and pleasure brand. Together, they dive into the often-taboo topic of female pleasure and the importance of normalising these conversations.

Rach shares her personal journey in creating LBDO, highlighting the intention and quality behind her products and the deeper mission of breaking down societal stigmas around sexual wellness. Bella and Rach discuss cultural conditioning, the role of self-exploration and self-care, and how open communication—especially postpartum—can strengthen relationships.

This candid and insightful chat also touches on the power of community support in reshaping narratives around pleasure - with the ongoing mission to help women reconnect with themselves in a way that feels natural, confident, and shame-free.
