Waddup legend!

You know when a conversation stirs something deep in your chest and you don’t even realise you needed to hear it until the words are already in your bloodstream?

This is one of those.

I just dropped a brand new episode of The Mind School Podcast with the magnetic Simone Heng, global keynote speaker, author of Let’s Talk About Loneliness, and one of the most real, warm, and whip-smart women I’ve ever had the privilege of interviewing.

We spoke about:

 ✨ The subtle ache of feeling guilty when you're here but your heart is there

 ✨ Why most people don’t realise they’re lonely (and how it’s showing up in your life + work)

 ✨ The REAL art of connection, from rapport-building to mirroring without losing yourself

 ✨ The uncomfortable truth about vulnerability online and why the “authenticity era” might be ending

 ✨ The beauty industry, pretty privilege and the quiet grief of letting go of being the hot one

 ✨ Rewriting success and scaling down instead of up

Honestly, this one isn’t just thought-provoking, it’s soul-provoking.

 It’s the kind of conversation that makes you question how you’ve been connecting, and who you’ve been trying to be in the process.

Simone’s blend of research, storytelling and truth-bombs will have you nodding one minute and tearing up the next.

if the topic of connection + loneliness has your heart beating faster, go grab Simone’s book Let’s Talk About Loneliness. It’s a research-backed, beautifully written must-read that will change the way you see yourself and others. Just Google “Simone Heng book” and it’ll pop up at your local retailer (or head to Dymocks if you’re in Aus!).
