I have a list of things that I feel like I missed out on - the thing is though is that the list is really quite stupid. Is it worth putting in a podcast episode? Probably not, but here it is anyway. Enjoy.

The Only Time Is Right Now
You know the cliche sayings like 'live every day like it's your last' & 'live like there is no tomorrow'? The older I get, as 'cLiChE' as they may be - they become more & more relevant in my life. Today I thought i'd sit down and share my thoughts on how I've been feeling lately about LIFE IN GENERAL, because we all need a little inspirational/pep talk from time to time. I cannot stress this enough but whatever it is that you've been thinking about, now is your time to go for it - kick everything into full speed and don't look back.

My Thoughts On Having Kids

One of the struggles being a small biz is competing with the big guys and today I wanted to dive into my thoughts on it!

Can We Stop Normalising Toxicity?
Whether it's relationships, friendships, within your family, or anywhere! I get so annoyed that toxicity is something that a lot of us put up with and 'accept' as normal, for way too long. Growing up in a toxic family, I was never really taught right from wrong and thought that abuse and violence was normal - which makes me feel sorry for kids in the same position today and even more sorry for people who can't seem to escape the drama into their adult lives. Does this need to be taught more in school? Or is it 100% a parents duty? That's what I discuss in todays episode!

Why Is It So Hard To Make New Friends In Your 20's?
Whilst some will disagree, I think most of you will agree that it's not the easiest thing to make new (and genuine) friendships as a woman in your 20's, 30's and so on! After doing some thinking, i've realised one of the main reasons why it's so hard is because we are simply too scared and aren't open enough to the idea of putting in the effort - in todays episode, I elaborate on that!

Stop Telling Me How To Run My Business
Let's chat about owning a business and customer service in 2020! Is it just me, or does there seem to be a huge sense of entitlement around 'the customer always being right'? I'm all for receiving feedback in regards to my business, but has social media blurred that line and do people often think that nastiness & abuse is an acceptable form of feedback?
