The Women’s Lounge

Welcome back to The Women’s Lounge

This week I’m discussing just how thought the six week summer holidays have been so far, because let’s be honest - we’re all drowning!

If you feel like you are surviving by a thread and your bank may contact you because they are worried about the amount of money that has left your account in the last three weeks, you’re in the right place.

We’re all in the same boat, so grab a cuppa and le...

Truth bomb - Mental health affects us all, yet so many people stay silent because they're afraid of being judged.

In this episode, we explore why breaking the stigma around mental health, anxiety, depression, emotional wellbeing, and self-care is more important than ever. Through honest conversation, we discuss the power of compassion, the importance of asking for help, and how creating safe, judgment-free spaces can make a real difference.

Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to better understand mental wellbeing, this episode offers encouragement, and a...

Fads are taking over our screens and arguably our brains.

See something online and feel a burning desire to buy it or have utter FOMO if you don’t have the latest things?

Sound familiar? Yeah, you’re not the only one.

This week, I’m discussing impulsivity and the fads we just can’t say no to.

We’ve all been there and we all do it.

So grab that thermal mug that you didn’t need and the latest healthy snack bar that all the celebs are eating and j...

Ever had that one thing that you’ve wanted to go after but you’ve stopped yourself?

Or maybe you’ve had dreams that you thought were completely out of reach. If that sounds familiar, then this one is for you.

This week, we’re looking at why starting over doesn’t mean failure and why dreams are still achievable, no matter how old you are.

Join me for another week on The Women’s Lounge for your weekly dose of positive vibes and nod-along moments.

How many times have you said no to something that you’ve really wanted to do because you’re too concerned about everyone else?

Sound familiar? Well same.

We’ve become accustomed to putting everyone else’s needs and wants before our own, and by doing so, we’ve settled; become comfortable; lost ourselves.

This episode concentrates on why saying yes is so empowering, and how that one little word can open so many doors.

Welcome to another week of The Women’s Lounge

Ever wondered what your personality type is? Or why you do the things you do?

This week is all about the female personality - who are we?

It’s fun, joyful and genuinely lighthearted to ensure you have something easy to listen to that might just ignite a little curiosity.

We’re all different and unique, and that is exactly what we need to celebrate.

Grab a brew guys, and snuggle down for another week on The Women’s Lounge

Suffer with stress? Get overwhelmed, worked up and burned out?

Yeah, we all do.

This week I’m chatting with Sian Lavin about ways to help heal the body and in turn, heal the mind.

We’re diving into ways to cope with stress, little tips to help form those healthy routines and some interesting massages that help release tension build up.

This is one you don’t want to miss; a laugh out loud, light hearted episode that will leave you feeling light and definitely understood.

Anyone else feel like they were completely duped by the illusion of adulthood?

I mean seriously, why weren’t we told about the carnage we were entering in to?

We rarely know what adulthood actually entails, and we give ourselves little to zero credit for surviving the jungle that we are navigating.

This week I’m discussing all things related to adulthood - the good, the bad, and the honest.

Join me for a few laughs, some good conversation and a few pensive moments.

Ever walk into a room and instantly feel judged? Or have said no to wearing a certain outfit because of the fear of being judged. Or maybe you’ve judged others and then realised you were wrong.

The good news - we all do it.

This week, I’m diving into judgement, why it happens and how to overcome that feeling.

Join me for a good old lighthearted ramble about the way we feel when we’re judged and the reasons why we judge.

We all know a celebrity who we think is great. Maybe we like their vibe, they use their stage positively, or they show us that dreams can come true.

But are these people having a negative impact on our lives?

This week I’m talking about the role celebrities play in our lives - the good, the bad and the questionable.

Join me for a lighthearted natter about how celebrities fit in with our lives, and the impact they have on our mental health.

Ever notice how we celebrate the big things in life but let the little things go unnoticed?

We often overlook the everyday challenges that we conquer, and instead give ourselves a hard time about the things we didn’t do.

This week, I’m diving into celebrating small wins and why it’s so important to celebrate these tiny triumphs; whether it’s finishing the pile of laundry, having the ‘tough’ conversation you didn’t want to have, or merely getting through the chaotic jungle of the day.

Are you ready to celebrate the small thin...

‘What goes around comes around’.

This week is all about superstitions and karma, and what fun it was to record this one.

If you can’t step on three grids, salute magpies or believe that positive energy results in positive outcomes, this one is for you.

Join me in laughing and sharing thoughts on where superstitions come from and how they impact our everyday lives.

This is a lighthearted and truly joyous episode, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did rambling on.

We’ve all been there - glass half empty rather than half full, cheering for others rather than yourself, or looking at your life and wishing it was entirely different.

The good news is, we can control how we view things.

Perspective - one of the things we can change and this week’s topic.

Join me to discuss how looking at things with a different mindset might just be the answer to your problems.

Ever feel like you’re leading a double life? Like who you are on the inside doesn’t always reflect who you are on the outside?

If so, this one’s for you.

This week is all about the internal struggle we feel versus the external strength we show. The truth is we are all fighting internal battles and pretty much winging our way through life, the good news is that you aren’t alone.

Join me this week for a discussion that focuses on the way we manage the internal and external versions...

Authenticity, superpowers, and being unapologetically you, this week is all about diving into the realms of power behind uniqueness.

Ever feel like you are having to curve your outspoken mind, bold outfit choices or go along with what others say just to fit in?

Yeah, we’ve all been there, well this episode is for you queen.

Join us for a dose of encouragement, empowerment and reminders of how powerful you are, this week I’m reminding you of the importance of staying true to yourself and saying no to being a robot to s...

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stretched too thin?

In this week’s episode, we dive into the realities of stress and burnout - what it looks like, why they happen, and how we can take back some control of our mental and physical well-being.

We’re exploring the warning signs, sharing relatable experiences, and try to offer some strategies that will help you to recharge, reset and regain some balance.

If you feel like you’re on the edge of burnout, or just looking to manage everyday stress, this episode is a reminder that you ar...

This week we had a special guest on the show. Sam Gardner came on to discuss all things wellness and morning routines, and it was a blast.

We laughed, we got serious, and we discussed how a morning routine can change your entire day.

This is an episode that we all need to listen to.

If lighthearted humour, honest discussions and downright honesty is your vibe, you’re in the right

This week is all about something that plagues so many women … intrusive thoughts.

Intrusive thoughts are so commonly had, but frequently a topic that we shy away from. We worry about being judged, because let’s be honest, they are accompanied by guilt and shame.

Join me in unpacking these devil thoughts. If you suffer with intrusive thoughts, you aren’t alone.

This week is all about beauty standards and the changing goal posts that we are all chasing after.

For years we women have tried to keep up with ever changing trends that have been made by celebrities, Hollywood and social media.

We’re told to be thin, then curvy

Wear little make up but look flawless

It is exhausting.

If you feel like you’ve been caught in the trap of evolving beauty standards, this one is for you.

This week is all about prioritising you and giving yourself 5 minutes peace.

We are all guilty of putting everyone else above ourselves, but once in a while we need to remember that we are important too.

It’s not selfish to think about yourself.

You’re bot a bad person for wanting to take some time for yourself.

Here’s the thing; if you don’t take time for yourself, you’re going to either self destruct or completely burnout.

Make a brew and tune in for a chat that every...

This week is all about adult friendships - the good, the bad and the ugly.

Adult friendships take effort, grace, and quite frankly, work.

Join me this week when I discuss the sisterhoods that we choose ourselves, the small circles that we forge, and the necessary goodbyes we have to make.

This is one for every woman.

As always, your feedback is always welcome

Join me for an off-the-cuff Valentine’s Day special, or should I say Galentine’s Day!

A short episode that discusses love, sisterhood and why celebrating with your girls is so important

This week I’m discussing the roles of women and how our sex still causes controversy.

It’s true, women have come far with regards to their rights and positions, but just how far have we really come?

Is the sex divide still real?

Do gender roles still play a part in society?

Join me this week for another episode full of hearty conversation, laugh out loud moments, and honest truths.

Join me in another episode of The Women’s Lounge.

This week I’m discussing how society has taught us to compete with one another rather than cheering each other on.

I’ll be delving into reasons why we compete, how it affects us and things I do to try and stop myself from comparing myself to others.

This week I’m unmasking imposter syndrome

Feeling like a fraud? Feeling like you’re not good enough? I’ve got you ladies, let’s talk about why we feel like an imposter and how we can overcome it.

Join me in discussing mum-guilt - what it is, why we feel it and how to stop that pesky little voice from ruining your day.

Mums deserve to put themselves first sometimes, and I’m sure that if you’re a mum, mum-guilt hounds you, just like it does me.

This episode I’m discussing people pleasing - what it is, why we do it, and how to overcome it.

If you say yes when you should say no, or do things that benefit others at the detriment of yourself, this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about New Year’s Resolutions, why we make them or don’t, and what type goals are good goals for women/mums.

A mini episode introducing myself and my new podcast. Listen to what’s to come and to why I thought this podcast might be relatable to so many women.
