Everyone was talking about Sabrina and Steven, and today, I sit down with Steven, one of my closest friends and the star of Love Is Blind UK. We dive into what it’s really like to have your love life—and heartbreak—put on blast for the world to dissect. Steven opens up about the brutal realities of reality TV, the emotional toll of internet trolls, and the raw truth that men, too, can be left feeling shattered after breakups. He discusses his shock at the reunion, the pain of re-watching himself fall in love on TV, and why he stayed silent while others created their own versions of the story. He shares how he uses daily tools to stay calm, grounded, and mostly anxiety-free—and how he’s evolving, just like everyone else.

Honey, I’m home!
In this episode, I'm catching you up on all my life updates – where I’ve been, why the podcast has been so MIA, and what’s been happening behind the scenes (+ when you can expect us back on a regular schedule!). From 5 weeks living out of a suitcase, major life location decisions, contraction, expansion, questioning if this is my ‘flop era,’ and podcast changes too, I’ve got so much to share. Plus, I dive into my first-ever confidence crisis that caught me off guard and led to the overwhelming pressure I felt to get filler and Botox. This eventually sparked the birth of my newest FREE challenge to help us all navigate through these confidence crises. So, grab your headphones, get outside on your hot girl walk, and get comfy for this chat – I’ve missed you!

Tom's relationship with Maria: a deep dive into the emotional highs and lows that ultimately led them to choose not to marry.
How long should you wait to sleep together?
A discussion around safety and emotional intimacy
Should men always pay on the first date?
Why ambitious women are often labeled as ‘masculine,’ yet still seen as ‘emotional’ or ‘hysterical.’
How the provider role you experienced in childhood influences the provider you become in adulthood.
The impact of childhood financial trauma on adult romantic relationships.
Is it time to challenge rigid gender roles and stereotypes, and have the 'ugly conversations' we’ve been avoiding?

It’s been a hot minute…. Because I disappeared. And things have been dark AF. Today, I’m opening up about why I disappeared, took an unexpected hiatus from the pod for the first time in 2.5 years and I share about the intense, emotional journey I’ve been on. We’ll rewind to when I was in the best shape of my life—mentally, physically, and spiritually—and how everything took a sudden turn, leading me into adrenal fatigue, burnout, loneliness, and a deep freeze state of depression in my nervous system.
I also chat my best friend being on Love Is Blind, my travel plans and more.

Well, this story is kinda crazy. And what's even crazier? Sometimes we keep bad behavior hidden, secret, and behind closed doors, and it's only when we start to talk about it that we can finally admit that IT WAS NOT OKAY.
This week, Louise shares a wild story about her ex and *THAT* thing he did in Marbella. She explores why we accept bad behavior, why we justify it as love, and how, once we start healing, we start to see it for what it truly is—unacceptable. Louise chats through the crazy story and its connection to:
Our childhood.
Our nervous system.
Familial patterns (and how these don't always make sense).
Low self-esteem, self-respect, and self-worth.
And so much more!
Join us in this deeply personal and vulnerable episode as Louise recounts heart-wrenching incidents from probably the most toxic relationship of her life, how it opened the doors to her healing journey, and what light at the end of the tunnel of a “passionate” (read: abusive) relationship looks like in the form of five hard-hitting lessons she learned in therapy.
🆘 Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to relationship abuse. 🆘
⭐The entire catalog of BONUS PODCAST EPISODES will be added to the Daily Devotion Portal later this week⭐

⭐ SOMATIC SCULPT: HEALING PILATES THAT BURNS WITHOUT DYSREGULATING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ ⭐
Working out all the time and feeling great in the moment? HIIT, spinning classes, bootcamp workouts, you name it. And yet not seeing any REAL changes? Feeling like your body isn’t shedding the weight you want? Today we’re chatting about how exercise might be the thing that is actually contributing to your dysregulated nervous system, hormonal imbalances and unexplained health issues.
This week, former exercise and spin addicts Louise and Sarah Murphy (our resident Integrative Health Practitioner and Biology of Trauma Expert) sit down to discuss:
Why we need to re-think intense exercise (even if we’re trying to lose weight).
Why cortisol isn't always the villain, we think it is.
What inflammation actually is (and how it leads to hormonal chaos).
How your workout routine might be messing with your nervous system (and your hormones, blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance too!)
The sneaky ways undischarged stress causes "unexplained" health issues.
What the f**k somatic healing actually is.
The game-changing workout routine that transformed Louise’s life.
And more!
Join us on this journey as Louise shares her story—from being a spin addict who couldn't imagine life without intense exercising to realizing the harm it was causing. Learn how turning inwards, gently and gracefully, with the help of somatic healing practices can help you give your body what it ACTUALLY needs.

⭐ REWIRE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM TO REWIRE YOUR ATTRACTION TO THE NONCHALANT MAN/WOMAN: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ ⭐
Today, Louise jams on this solo episode where she talks about:
The concept of someone being ‘into you, but not that into you’.
10 signs that they’re ‘nonchalant’ or going to not give you the princess treatment that you deserve.
How often we allow people to treat us badly because we’re living in hope and a fantasy land.
Bumping into someone from the past at Shoreditch House who ghosted her (and why she is proud of herself).
Why people’s behavior is 99% of the time a reflection of them, not you (but we always gotta check ourselves, too)
Why regulating your nervous system stops you from being attracted to those who are NOT that interested in you + How she learnt this the hard way…
And more!
Welcome to the critical step in your healing journey, where you understand that you do have control over the types of people you are attracted to and that someone’s nonchalance does not reflect who you are as a person.

Ready to stop being a people pleaser but don’t know how? Want to finally enter into your ‘villain era’ and start to use your voice, but right now it feels scary AF? Interested in healing but know you have to go deeper than therapy to really see big nervous-system and personality related changes? This episode is for you because to understand people pleasing, you need to understand the nervous system. And everyone is ALWAYS talking about fight, flight, and freeze modes of the nervous system, but it is actually fawn that is connected to being a people pleaser.
This week, Louise is joined by somatic practitioner, Kallie Klug, as they discuss how you can heal your people pleasing tendencies through your nervous system. They cover:
What fawning and the ‘fawn state’ actually is
How it connects to people pleasing
Key signs and symptoms of fawning
Fawning in the dating stage (did someone say that date was only so great because of YOU?)
The connection of fawning to childhood
The overlooked connection to ANGER and passive-aggressiveness and
Kallie’s top tips for entering your villain era.
The pair also discuss ‘masking’ and unmasking’ and the importance of this on your healing journey.

Everyone’s talking about hormones, am I right? You know when you think you're living your best life, and then one day everything comes crashing down so hard that you have to stop and really reflect on what brought you here? That’s exactly what happened to neuro-nutritionist, Kacy Shea - and initially she had no idea it was connected to her hormones.
In this incredibly poignant episode, Kacy gets up, close and personal with Louise about how her seemingly perfect life was disrupted when she got sicker than she ever thought possible, forcing her to embark on a deep healing journey through imbalanced hormones and burnout. As a neuro-nutritionist, she knew what to do next.
Having turned her life around, Kacy sits down with Louise to discuss:
The dopamine-centric lifestyle we find ourselves in.
The subtle nudges your body gives to signal issues.
The power of hormone testing and blood chemistry.
The jaw-dropping test reports that changed Kacy’s life.
The epidemic of emotional suppression.
The psychosomatic approach to healing.
Dietary and nutritional facts that everyone should know.
And the power of small, sustainable changes.
Inspirational and insightful, this episode will take you on an uplifting journey that’s going to CHANGE your life and help you get to your THRIVING state - all while learning about hormones - something that everyone talks about but very few people discuss the specifics of!

This episode is for when you're obsessed. We're talking like really, really obsessed. You know, thinking about them 24x7, imagining you see them everywhere you go - hoping for a chance encounter? Basically, mad fantasy bonding. And this episode? It's to help you understand that you're not alone and you’re not going crazy- you're actually probably experiencing something called limerence.
Limerence is an intense, all-consuming longing for someone, even if they don't feel the same way or you barely know them. And guess what? It's deeply biological. That's the part no one talks about.Today, in one of our most requested episodes, Louise chats with Biology of Trauma and Nervous System Expert Sarah Murphy as the pair gets into:
The cocktail of hormones fueling our obsessive thoughts and tendencies.
What’s happening in our bodies when we fantasize about that special someone.
Why we feel lovesick and chase chemistry?
The link between low self esteem and fantasy bonding.
The root cause of a dysregulated nervous system.
Why life feels boring without a chaotic relationship.
Louise’s daily routine for a regulated nervous system.
The magic of somatic healing practices.
They also tell you HOW to navigate and alleviate this state and how to help your biology from obsessing over that one person you just can't stop thinking about.

This TikTok trend is blowing UP. Have you heard about it? The concept that ‘you always meet them twice?’ It’s not wildly different to the ‘invisible string theory’. This week, jump into a solo episode with Louise where she shares her personal stories of serendipitous second time encounters and how everything in life is either a lesson or a blessing. From romantic relationships to chance meetings with friends, Louise jams on the importance of exploring how these seemingly coincidental moments are often orchestrated by a higher power to guide us towards growth and self-discovery.
She also jumps into:
How she met her current partner and her ex
How both were connected to the ‘you always meet them twice’ theory
The concept of divine timing
How everything in life is always a lesson or a blessing
How every relationship is going to teach you something
And one day, how things will make total sense about why those things happened at the time they did
Cute meet stories? Message me on IG, I wanna hear them and share them (anonymously) with the community!

The perpetual bachelor. We’ve all known one. Probably all dated one too. Probably been heart broken by one as well. You know what we’re talking about: the hyper-charismatic, sells you a dream, gets you excited for the future then never pulls through kinda guy or gal. Maybe everything is perfect at the beginning but as time goes on you see they don’t turn up to plans on time, they don’t lead and they end up being well… just disappointing. Constantly scrolling on their phone, not making plans, always on the sofa, always drunk or always hungover.
Today, join Louise and Stephanie Therapy as they jump into uncovering all things Peter Pan Syndrome and how some men might grow up, but might never really want to accept responsibility for their life.
The pair jump into?
The concept of commitment
The deep seated fears and insecurities that often drive men away from being ‘the one’ for you
How societal expectations and gender norms further contribute to the reluctance of some men to embrace long-term relationships
The concept of Peter Pan Syndrome
How to work out if you are being his ‘Wendy’?
And how to work out if it’s the avoidant attachment style or Peter Pan Syndrome.
Louise and Stephanie Therapy share actionable tips and strategies for understanding and navigating relationships with commitment-phobic men and also help you understand why YOU might be interested and engaging in these types of relationships.

Celibacy gets a bad rap, are we right? This week, Louise jumps into the Bumble controversy to reverse ANY sort of shame you might be feeling about your own dating and celibacy decisions after that tone deaf ad. Because, you know what, sometimes a man ban is actually the PERFECT answer. And us women? We’ve had enough of being told what to do for as long as we can remember. And if you don’t wanna date, hook up, sleep with anyone? You do you honey boo! Don’t let a billboard shame you.
After a hot take intro where you get Louise all to yourself, Louise revives a past episode with Jordan Jeppe, shadow work guide and celibacy expert. Join Louise & Jordan for a real-talk girl episode as they:
Share their personal journeys with celibacy- one intentional, the other with a side of naughtiness.
Debunk common misconceptions about celibacy (yes, you can still date!).
Explore how our shadow influences dating patterns.
Discuss the game-changing impact of setting boundaries and intentions in the dating stage.
Give us all the juicy details on navigating celibacy even while dating.
Unpack the concept of a 'sexual pause'.
The pair’s raw, honest conversation will demystify the assumptions around celibacy and help you see it as a path to self-discovery, empowerment, and the best sex of your life!

Crying over Biebs? You’re not alone. There Louise was. Standing in a cute little organic supermarket when it happened. Justin and Hailey Bieber announced that they were having a BABY! Her reaction? Silence and a weird smidge of… something? Had that feeling too? You’re not alone. That’s the story of how this episode was born. Pun intended!
From dreaming of running into your favorite star on the street to feeling personally offended when they're criticized, the allure of celebrity culture can be downright intoxicating. But why do we feel this intense connection to people we've never even met? And how does it affect us on a deeper level? AND HOW CAN WE REALLY BE UPSET WHEN SOMEONE WE HAVE NEVER MET ANNOUNCES THEY ARE HAVING A BABY WITH A WOMAN WHO IS NOT YOU? In today’s episode, Louise sits down to investigate the psychological and emotional aspects of celebrity worship and parasocial relationships.
In this episode, Louise dives into:
The slightly odd but hilarious reactions she and her friends had to the Beiber pregnancy announcement.
The psychology behind celebrity worship and the three levels of parasocial relationships.
Why the Selena v. Hailey/ Damon v. Stefan debates get us in a chokehold.
Why criticism of our favorite fandoms and idols evokes visceral reactions (looking at you, Swifties).
The delulu belief that we can "fix" or help celebrities like Justin Bieber.
Maladaptive daydreaming and escapism associated with celebrity fascination.
Themes of the sheer relentlessness of life, self-worth, and attachment styles.
And more!

Situationships can be crazy, soul crushing, exhilarating journeys. Who can relate? One moment you’re on top of the world, the next you’re desperately waiting for them to text you back feeling like the world is going to end. You’re not alone if you’ve been left wondering how so much damage could be caused by such a short-lived experience. Today, in a highly requested solo episode, Louise dives deep into the REAL WHY behind how and why these situationships can f**k you up.
Louise gets into the juicy details of:
How situationships can be tied to early life experiences, brain structure, nervous system, and neurotransmitter function (yes really).
The rollercoaster of emotions that come with a situationship
How the concepts of hope & silence can drive our inner child crazy (and how inconsistency of the highs and lows can exacerbate this cycle)
The biochemistry of obsession
The concept of fantasy bonding & maladaptive daydreaming (and how it is actually a coping mechanism)
How imbalanced neurotransmitters can leave you craving situationships
And more.
Louise has been there. You’re not alone. You’re not going crazy and when you listen to this episode you will understand WHAT is going on a biochemical level and HOW this person has such a grip over you. Welcome to clarity, peace and healing!

Healing girlies already know they need to heal their inner child - but where do you start? Today, Louise sits down with psychotherapist Tasha Bailey to get into this & more.
Louise & Tasha discuss:
What inner child healing *actually is*
How our childhood shapes our adulthood
The concept of age regressions (including you anger, we see you!)
The connection between the inner child, the inner critic, the shadow, and how you feel about yourself
Big bad boundaries (and the importance of them when healing a wounded inner child)
How important play is for children and adults alike
