Hello people! Today we’re talking about solo travelling because I truly think it’s the most soul-healing, confidence-boosting, incredible thing in the world and everyone needs to do it. Nothing is more life-affirming than throwing yourself into a country, situation, hostel that you've never been to and are totally alone in, and being forced to get comfortable with it. Being forced to speak to strangers when you feel anxious, awkward, embarrassed, and then realising that everyone is so lovely, everyone is in the same boat, and people that you would never have thought you'd have been friends with in 'the real world' turn out to be some of the most brilliant people you've ever met.

When you're on your own there's no room for judgement - I think when you're travelling with friends you end up leaning more into each other, you're more choosy about who you spend your time with or what you spend your time doing. But when you're solo you can't care about what anyone thinks because it's just you - there's no one else to bounce off. You just have to follow your gut, make decisions for yourself, be strong enough to do exactly what YOU want to do and ultimately be ABLE to do exactly what you want to do.

The joy of being able to do your own thing and then have hundreds of people to hang out and drink with in the evening. The fun of travelling with different groups of people for different sections of your travels. The magic of riding a moped in the sunset, parking up at a beachside bar and having a beer on your own, with your journal or just your thoughts. And don't get me wrong there are times when it's hard and lonely and sometimes even sad that the people you love aren't with you for some of the best moments of your life - but it is so, SO worth it for the gain.

It also cured my relationship with food because I didn't have the time or energy to restrict, or care about how I looked, or choose 'low calorie' options, because how can you immerse yourself in a country's culture when you're obsessing over calories?

PLEASE go on a solo trip - even if just for a few days, it will make you so happy.

So much love and kisses xxxxxxx

Hi guys, today's episode is a bit different but I felt I needed to spread the word about some VERY important information I found out about our menstrual cycle that could literally CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE.

I'm sure by now a lot of people know that the hormonal pill ain't so good for us - or at least it's doing more to our hormones than we probably realise. It's changing our moods, it's affecting how we feel, it quite literally causes us to have different personalities while we're on it. I know people who've felt more angry, more sad, more anxious, more sensitive AS PEOPLE for the entirety of their life while on the pill, and then have come off it and lost those more 'negative' emotions / traits. There's absolutely nothing wrong with feeling angry or sad or being sensitive sometimes, but if hormones that aren't supposed to be in your body are causing it, then maybe it's not so great?

The second, and I think probably less known thing, is that us women should be working and living with our menstrual cycle - and for each phase of our cycle we have different energy levels, we crave different things, we desire differing amounts of social interaction, we're even MORE ATTRACTIVE and people ARE MORE LIKELY TO SAY YES TO US during certain times of our cycle. It's just crazy and I can't believe this isn't common knowledge. It's bad and mad and annoying but also very very great to know now. And this isn't just some woo woo spiritual stuff, this genuine science and facts and it should be plastered all over every office and bus in London (and everywhere else).

I'm intrigued to know who knows this already because I was shocked. PLEASE dm me your thoughts or experiences on this too, I'd love love love to know.

So much love and kisses xxxxxxx

hey guys - firstly, I'm very sorry that I appear to have not posted an episode last week... I sent my podcast to my editor too late and it was the very week that he had a giant project to work on so he couldn't do it in time. BUT it will never happen again (hopefully).

This week's a bit of a different one - I know I usually talk about mental health (don't worry, I still spend the first 10 minutes breaking down the 2-day panic attack I had the day after ending things with my therapist xo), but today I wanted to discuss British drinking culture because it's hilarious. I was reminiscing about it on a walk the other day and just thinking what the actual f*ck.

It's actually WILD and no wonder so many British people have bad relationships with alcohol and that it's so ingrained in our culture when we were chugging vodka by the litre from the age of 14. I would love (and hate) to be a fly on the wall at one of the 'gatherings' or house parties that I went to in my teens because we were feral - I'm embarrassed and horrified but also find it kind of cute and hilarious to thinking about. This isn't a lecture on drinking, it's pure reminiscing on the horrors and joys of my teen years (and early 20s) and the shameful things my friends and people I knew got up to when under the influence of alcohol (and before that even).

Enjoy revelling in these & please share any great stories you have too.

Kisses xxxxxxxx
