What if coming out as a lesbian was just chapter one?
This week Iâm joined by the thoughtful and expansive Zahra Abdullahi, a creative powerhouse who shares their journey through sexuality, gender identity, and finding a deeper sense of self in their thirties.
We talk about growing up as a boxed-in masc lesbian, unpicking the layers of gender, and how embracing non-binary identity opened up not just new language, but a whole new lens for living.
From shaking off rigid roles to reimagining what life's decisions look like without the binary, this is an honest, moving conversation about change, growth, and finally becoming more of who you really are.
If youâre done squeezing into roles that never quite fit, this oneâs for you.

What if everything you envied in other women in your twenties⌠now just makes you want to hold them closer?
This week Iâm joined by the generous and grounded Heidi Gowthorpe, who helps women reconnect to themselves through sound healing, embodiment, womenâs circles, and radical honesty.
She shares her story of growth, reconnection, and recovery - how healing from an eating disorder in her late twenties dismantled everything she thought made her "valuable", and opened the door to a softer, more authentic life.
We talk about unlearning competition between women, the grief of growing out of old friendships, and what happens when you finally stop performing and let yourself be fully seen.
If youâre in your thirties and starting to question everything you were taught about being a woman - this oneâs for you.

What if your purpose actually isnât about you at all?
This week, Iâm joined by the thoughtful and funny Ryan Lloyd Haynes. After running the successful fashion brand Elsie & Fred for ten years, Ryan hit a wall when it all ended - not just financially, but existentially.
We get into what happens when your identity was your work, how losing everything forced him to rethink what really matters, and why the self-help era mightâve missed the whole point.
If youâve been doing a little too much mirror-staring about your purpose lately - or youâre just craving something bigger than yourself to care about - this oneâs for you.

So here's something a little different...Weirdly Personal, a new type of episode where itâs just me, no guest, no structure, just whateverâs going on in my weird little brain at that point. Voice note energy meets midlife spiral.
This oneâs about moving house, and how it unexpectedly cracked me open. I thought Iâd feel pure blissâŚand I am excited don't get me wrong but Iâve unexpectedly been feeling like a bit of a failure. Cue overthinking, weird shame, and questioning whether Iâm actually doing any of this right.
If youâve ever had to have a 10-minute stare at the ceiling questioning your life mid-flatpack assembly, this oneâs for you.

What if youâre not lost, youâre just meant to roam?
This week, Iâm joined by my vivacious friend, fashion & travel writer and digital nomad Tess Pollard, whoâs built a career across 117 countries, no office required. Tess didnât go freelance to become a #girlboss; she did it because the idea of four weeksâ holiday a year was holding her back from her true calling.
We get into what it really means to build a life around freedom, why constant travel isnât always glamorous, the tension between movement and milestones, and why living out of a backpack is far less romantic than it sounds (spoiler: she hates it).
If youâve ever felt like life is nudging you to go, but fear, full calendars, or five-year plans are holding you back, this oneâs for you.

What if the thing that slows you down ends up being the thing that makes you stronger?
This week, Iâm joined by chronic illness coach March Hollingbery. As a woman whoâs been navigating hospitals and hard decisions since childhood, she's built a mindset of gratitude and resilience which honestly I am hoping to achieve one day.
March didnât choose chronic illness, but she did choose how to respond to it, with grit, wisdom, and a radical refusal to hustle through pain (although she's always working on that balance).
We talk about boundaries, burnout, and what it really means to listen to your body when the world expects you to perform.
If youâve ever felt like lifeâs moving too fast and your body (or brain) is quietly screaming âdo less, I begâ this episode is your permission slip.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Lisa Targett Bolding, co-founder of Big Beauty and one of the few people offering a refreshing, judgement free alternative to the tweakment trap.
We talk about what itâs like to age in the era of social media, the emotional whiplash of beauty culture, and why itâs become almost radical to let your face just⌠move.
Lisa shares her take on slow beauty, facial massage, and how reconnecting with our bodies might be more powerful than any injectable.
If you're navigating the space between acceptance and enhancement, this one's for you.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Tanya Baker, founder of her own real estate agency, who used her house deposit to start her business. Yep, the house deposit.
We talk about what it means to bet on yourself to create a new future, why owning a home isnât the be-all and end-all, and how taking a risk can feel scarier than staying stuck...but is totally worth it.
Tanya shares what itâs really like to walk away from a safe job, work harder than ever, and navigate the sacrifices that come with starting your own business.
If youâre flirting with the idea of ditching your corporate role to fly solo, this oneâs for you.

We talk about why so many of us feel stuck in our 30s, even when weâre âdoing wellâ, and the visage of ego-driven goals.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Shannon, founder of Simpl Living Co, a minimalist-minded professional organiser, to talk about how clutter might be adding to the chaos.
We explore why our 30s can feel like a âquarter-life crisis of accumulation,â and how stuff becomes a stand-in for all the people we thought weâd be. From spiralizers to ski jackets, we unpack the hidden stories in our clutter, the cycle of overconsumption, and why letting go can feel like therapy. But don't worry, she shares exact advice on how to clear your space to help clear your mind.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Amy, body confidence advocate and content creator, whose relationship with her body has been through every possible phase: athlete, personal trainer, bodybuilder, and now, mum. But nothing prepared her for how radically motherhood would transform her body, mind, and identity.
We talk about the things no-one tells you before you get pregnant, the silent shame of postnatal depression, and what it means to truly reconnect with your body after the giant changes of motherhood.
If you've ever felt at war with your reflection - or afraid of how motherhood might change you - this episode will stay with you.
