Why hello there... This week's episode is going to be a little different. I chat about university life in my final year, my current health status, the future of the podcast and if I'm truly on the verge of a mental breakdown...

This episode is messy shambles but one that enters into my brain and my current state of mental exhaustion + my tips on how to DELETE/ ELIMINATE mental exhaustion! Sending love to y'all always! My dm's are open for anyone who needs a chat.

PLEASE send me a DM with ya thoughts for The Hard Way - I need it lol.

Kia ora fam! Welcome to episode five! In this episode, I am joined by a high school friend Danielle to talk all about BABIES and MOTHERHOOD in your 20's. Dani opens up about how she got pregnant, telling her partner and struggling to face challenges head-on. + BABY HYPE (which is a real thing). This chat is super honest and open and I'm so thankful to Dani for bringing a new/ different perspective on pregnancy and the view from your partner's side. I love this chick & little Maela has a fair bit to add also - so keep a listen out for her!
