What if coming out as a lesbian was just chapter one?
This week I’m 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 you’re done squeezing into roles that never quite fit, this one’s for you.

What if everything you envied in other women in your twenties… now just makes you want to hold them closer?
This week I’m joined by the generous and grounded Heidi Gowthorpe, who helps women reconnect to themselves through sound healing, embodiment, women’s 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 you’re in your thirties and starting to question everything you were taught about being a woman - this one’s for you.

What if your purpose actually isn’t about you at all?
This week, I’m 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 might’ve missed the whole point.
If you’ve been doing a little too much mirror-staring about your purpose lately - or you’re just craving something bigger than yourself to care about - this one’s for you.

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

What if you’re not lost, you’re just meant to roam?
This week, I’m joined by my vivacious friend, fashion & travel writer and digital nomad Tess Pollard, who’s built a career across 117 countries, no office required. Tess didn’t go freelance to become a #girlboss; she did it because the idea of four weeks’ 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 isn’t 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 you’ve ever felt like life is nudging you to go, but fear, full calendars, or five-year plans are holding you back, this one’s for you.

What if the thing that slows you down ends up being the thing that makes you stronger?
This week, I’m joined by chronic illness coach March Hollingbery. As a woman who’s 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 didn’t 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 you’ve ever felt like life’s moving too fast and your body (or brain) is quietly screaming “do less, I beg” 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 it’s like to age in the era of social media, the emotional whiplash of beauty culture, and why it’s 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 isn’t 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 it’s 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 you’re flirting with the idea of ditching your corporate role to fly solo, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Johnny, football media entrepreneur, music manager, and the first man to ever join me on the podcast 👀. Together, we unpack the complexities of modern masculinity. Johnny shares his experience of being in a relationship with a successful DJ, and how it triggered new ways of thinking about power, status, and what it means to be “enough” as a man.
We talk about validation, why the "manosphere" is failing young men, and how doing the inner work (yes, therapy included) can change everything.
If you’ve ever wrestled with relationship dynamics, ambition gaps, or society’s dated gender scripts—this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with Lauren - transformative coach & founder of MOOD LDN, meditation teacher, and my personal guide during the weirdest phase of my life.
We talk about why so many of us feel stuck in our 30s, even when we’re “doing well”, and the visage of ego-driven goals. Lauren shares the story of her squiggly career path and how hitting “the void” led her to ask the hard questions, redefine success on her own terms and build a purpose-led business.
If you’re quietly questioning everything, this one is for you.

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 “quarter-life crisis of accumulation,” and how stuff becomes a stand-in for all the people we thought we’d 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.
For anyone who’s cried over a drawer of tangled cables and ex-boyfriend hoodies, this one’s for you.

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.

In this episode, I sit down with Daisy Morris—founder of The Selfhood and community-building queen—to talk about the loneliness baked into modern adulthood—and why it’s not your fault. Daisy opens up about what it was like moving to London, not knowing anyone to hang out with, and her experience building community from scratch.
We talk awkward first events, the shame that still surrounds loneliness, and why putting yourself out there (even when it’s weird and hard) can change everything.
If you’re craving connection but don’t know where to start—this one’s for you.

Yet beneath her driven exterior were personal battles that led her on a journey into spirituality and learning to truly listen to herself.
We dive into Zoe’s career pivots, her experience with IVF and miscarriage, and the unexpected power she's found in slowing down and embracing her feminine energy.
If you've ever worried that slowing down might mean falling behind, this episode could change your mind.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with my friend Hannah, who followed the path we’re all told leads to happiness—long-term relationship, marriage, stability. But just a year in, she knew it wasn’t right. The hardest part? No one else understood.
We talk about making the hardest call, the identity shift of young divorce, and why she’s celebrating this chapter with a divorce party instead of a pity party.
If you've ever wondered if it’s too late to change course, listen to this.

This week on The Weird Years, I sit down with Monica—entrepreneur, interior designer, and the co-founder of Re Cabins—to talk about the complicated ways our childhoods shape us. Beneath her entrepreneurial success lies a deeply personal story—one marked by an unconventional upbringing, a complicated maternal relationship, and the hard work of unlearning people-pleasing.
We dive into her weird years of self-discovery, boundary-setting, and redefining spirituality on her own terms.
If you’ve ever felt the pull between who you were raised to be and who you actually are, this episode will hit home.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Louise, a sucessful and driven 33-year-old who thought love would fall into place—but it hasn’t. Louise shares her reality of being 33, single, and wondering where all the good ones are. She thought she’d be married with kids by now—instead, she’s bored of swiping and dodging bad dates.
We explore what happens when things don’t follow your expected timeline and how when your life is already full and fulfilling, the effort of dating can feel like a drain.

In this episode of The Weird Years, I sit down with my friend Katie, who has never wanted children. Ever. Not when she was younger, not now, and—despite what people say—not in the future. But when you’re a woman in your 30s, choosing a child-free life comes with constant pressure, judgment, and unsolicited opinions.
If you’ve ever wanted to hear an honest, refreshing take on the child-free choice, this one’s for you.
