While solo backpacking Europe for 3 months, I spent 6 weeks volunteering at a hostel with 11 strangers!
The first few days I really doubted my decision as I had quite literally just voluntarily signed up to clean toilets for 6 weeks, with a group of randoms on my holiday......BUTTTT boy oh boy was it literally the most amazing experience of my life!
I made lifelong connections with likeminded people, became extremely self sufficient, my confidence grew to an all time high, i got to live like a local on the other side of the world and i made some damn good memories!!
Worldpackers changed my life, and i would highly recommend it to anyone!!

After eating my way through Europe for 3 months- enjoying pizza, gelato, chocolate, pastries...trust me the list goes on! I've noticed that my body has changed quite a bit. I've lost muscle mass (aka my ass has gotten flatter), my stomach is looking a little more voluminous and my stretch marks have become much more visible.
Adjusting to changes in your body, especially when they are unplanned, is always a difficult thing. We can begin to feel guilty and put ourselves down for letting our bodies get 'out of control'.
That is exactly why i wanted to make today's episode, as i know this is a topic many people struggle with, but it's not talked about enough! i'm here to tell you that it is ok that your body has fluctuated, you are still hot asf!!!!

About a month ago, I returned from my 3 month solo backpacking trip around Europe! Being in a whole ass other continent, you’ll obviously find different ways of life and alternative societal norms…..but f*ckkkkk, I don’t know if I was prepared for what I witnessed!
In today's episode, i explore the many European culture shocks I encountered in my travels, that left me with my jaw on the floor!

The other day I was doing some editing, and was looking back at some videos of my old self to use. As I kept scrolling, I became more and more shocked at how much I have actually changed….
The thing that stood out the most for me is how much I used to live for other people….whether that was getting fake eyelashes and wearing slutty clothes for external validation or not being myself because I was afraid of what other people thought.
It really made me appreciate how true to myself I live nowadays, and how god damn proud of myself I am to have gotten this far! 🙌🏻
So in today’s episode, I wanted to reflect on my journey of how I got from point A to point B 🌱✨
Too many of us live for others everyday of our lives, and are afraid to let our true colours shine because we don’t want to be rejected or made fun of….
But I hope to inspire you to say F*CK IT, be your god damn self and do what makes YOU happy!! 🙌🏻🤩
Hope you enjoyyyy 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Are you going solo travelling and are anxious asf that you aren’t going to make any friends?? Are you worried that you will spend your whole trip feeling lonely??

In today’s poddy ep, I wanted to share my experience with making friends during my travels, as well as share some tips I’ve picked up along the way to help!

You know me, i am always looking for new ways to push myself tf out of my comfort zone and test my limits....so i thought what better way than to sign up to a triathlon 2 days before the event, and run 10km with absolutely no training in my nana's runners!!
This experience honestly taught me so much so i want to share the TOP 5 LESSONS I LEARNT from the race. We dive into a couple of different topics, including comparison, mental strength, capability, and the concept of yolo!!

WOOOHOOO, WHAT AN EXCITING EPISODE TODAY!!
I'm so pumped to team up with Tayla from the 'Can You Shut Up Podcast' (go check it out!!), and to have her be my very FIRST guest on the show!!!!
Tayla was working a 9-5 job, but unhappy asf and felt like there was more out there for her! She took the huge leap to quit, and follow her dreams of content creation and podcasting. She is now excelling at UGC, has built an awesome community through her podcast and is so much happier and content with her life!
I wanted to get Tayla on the poddy as i love and feel extremely inspired by her story. I admire how she put herself first, and basically started from scratch but it didn't matter because she was doing what she loved!
I think so many of us live lives that we are unhappy with because we feel we have to, but Tayla is proof that YOU choose your reality!!
I hope you guys enjoy the episode!!! (there is a video version attached for the first time ever so check that sh*t out too!!!)

Are you feeling lost? Stuck? In a rut? Overwhelmed? Well.....me too!
Let's get one thing straight....IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL LIKE THIS SOMETIMES! (don't be ashamed!)
Sometimes, we find ourselves having down days or down period of time and it can be hard to lift ourselves back up!
I have recently been having some negative thoughts creep into my mind that have made me feel quite discouraged and overwhelmed. Soooo....In today's episode, i wanted to open up about the negative thoughts/limiting beliefs i have been experiencing. Despite how put together i may seem online, i still feel a little sh*tty at times too!
However, It's important that when we feel like this to work towards getting out of this state so we don't stay there. Let's feel our feels, then move to focusing on ourselves and getting back on track to being bad ass b*tches!! In this ep, I share MY TOP 10 TIPS ON HOW TO GET YOUR MOJO BACK!
I hope you enjoy and benefit from this episode! <3
(ps. just remember: no matter what you may be feeling, it isn't going to last forever and you will get through it. I believe in you!)

As you get older, friendships become harder and harder to navigate. We are constantly growing, changing and evolving, therefore, we may outgrow the people we thought were going to be around forever! But that's not a bad thing....and i'm here to debunk this!
In today's episode, i wanted to dissect the struggles we have with friendships. Let's be honest, we have all felt at some stage like we have outgrown the friendship, we are having to change who we are to fit in, we are the only ones putting in the effort or....we are just putting up with people who treat us like sh*t!
Friendship struggles like this can take a massive toll on our mental health, and we may question what is the right thing to do, or doubt our choices. But, i want to NORMALISE situations surrounding these struggles, and also share my 7 LIFE LESSONS i have learnt along my journey when it comes to friendships!
I want the best for you, and that means surrounding yourself with positive people that make you a better version of yourself <3
Enjoy!!!!

The concept of 'everything happens for a reason' can be confusing and many people believe it's bullsh*t.....i used to be one of those people!
But let me tell you, along my journey i have learnt so much about myself and about life. From learning valuable life lessons by being at rock bottom, to learning how to be kind to myself after experiencing self hatred for years....i can officially come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON!!
Come with me as we dive into my experiences with sh*tty things happening in my life and explore how i was able to transform my mindset to see the positives and be grateful for the experience!
Hope you enjoy!! (ps. you guys are awesomeee)

I had a moment of realisation the other day: "holy f*ck i have completely transformed my life!"
Yes, i am well aware i have grown immensely....but it all just hit me at once that the old me is gone.
I wanted to dedicate todays episode to appreciating and reflecting on the progress i've made, but also the progress you've made!!
Life isn't easy, we don't get a rule book to follow so have to figure out sh*t alone! But all the sh*t you go through is for a reason and i want us all to reflect and be proud of how far we have come!
For one second....don't think about the better version of yourself you are trying to become.....just sit and be proud of the progress you have made get to where you are now! You stayed strong when you felt like giving up, you kept your head up and pushed through and YOU MADE IT!
I am so fkn proud of you guys and i love you all so much! You got this, go kick some more ass!!
I hope you enjoy <3333
