Welcome to the first episode of How Did You Do It? in 2025! This year has already brought a whirlwind of change, and from conversations I've had, so many of us are sitting in transition, grappling with loss, uncertainty, and fear of the unknown.

In this episode, I explore how to navigate your hardest moments with compassion. We talk about slowing down your "Merry-Go-Round", staying connected to your heart despite challenges, and finding the type of support you need.

I also dive into vision boarding—not as a wish list, but as a way to cultivate the feelings and experiences that we want to embody this year.

If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or in need of grounding, this one's for you. And if you need someone to talk to, I've included support numbers in the description—you are not alone.

I am so excited to bring to you today’s conversation with Kenny Lee.

Everyone has a story and a journey, and through Kenny coming on to spread his message, it is a reminder of exactly that. We are all faced with the same kinds of thoughts, societal pressures, expectations, and reasons why we shouldn’t do something. Yet, it is in those very moments where we must find the courage to take action, push past fear, and "Find A Way".

In this episode, we dive into Kenny’s past, and the transformative moments that led him to where he is today. Kenny shares how he navigates obstacles, challenges limiting beliefs, and uses his experiences to inspire others. Whether you’re facing personal or professional doubts, this episode will remind you that your story matters, and the path to overcoming obstacles starts with the decision to take that first step.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with powerful insights and practical advice on how to break through barriers and embrace your own journey with confidence.

Hello Lovely Listeners!

Grab a snack, a blanket, a hot drink, as we delve into this solo episode.

In this episode we discuss that life will always be doing it's cute little thing of throwing unexpected curve balls, challenges and pulling rugs out from under our feet, but it's always up to us to get back up.

Some key questions for you:

• Where are you outsourcing?
• Where are you choosing not to show up?

I also offer a little meditation at the end because goodness knows, we all need some grounding and peace to give us some perspective on this wild ride we are currently experiencing.

Hope you enjoy!

Welcome Back to HDYDI you beautiful, dedicated listeners of this podcast.

Life has a funny way of working, as always, and this episode release is coming at the most perfect time for me. I didn't even realise how much I needed to re-listen to this story, until I was editing and found myself wiping the tears from my cheeks. Life has a way of working out for you, and I hope this episode is a reminder that it always will.

Hello!

It's been a little while since I've recorded a solo episode, and as fate would have it, apparently the more amount of time you have off, the harder it is to put yourself back out there.

In this episode, I'm catching you up on where I've been, what I've been doing, and why I decided to take some time off.

By the way, if you're feeling that way too, this is your sign that you need to reconnect to you.

Topics that we catch up on:

• 21 Episodes reached! I'm now in the top 1% of published podcasts!
• Life Updates
• Meeting Steven Bartlett
• Burnout Signs
• Coping Mechanisms in weird life changes

On this episode, I sit down with Emma Edwards - author of Good With Money and certified Financial Behaviour Specialist®. In this episode we delve deep into Emma’s process of writing ‘Good With Money’, we talk about what it’s like living your life online and being part of the ‘content creation’ world, and lastly I ask all the burning financial questions on all your minds. Do we give up the morning late’s for some extra cash in the bank? What’s the go with superannuation? How much control do I actually have over my wealth??

Whilst this episode is for anyone, I specifically want to talk to all my lady listeners for a hot minute. I suggest getting a notepad and writing down some reflective questions here.

How are my spending habits and beliefs contributing to the unrealistic standard of beauty that women feel they need to uphold?

What are my beliefs around clothing, makeup, and my appearance? If looking at my bank balance, what is the split between savings/socialising and how much money I’m spending chasing a feeling that is sold to us?

How much do I know about superannuation as a female?

Let’s continue to talk, to educate, to inspire one another.

Today, I sit down with Charlene, aka The Human Hairdresser.

What a POWERFUL and inspiring conversation this one was.

We go deep in this one, friends.

How do you date when you are healing?

What is self worth when you are building yourself up from abuse?

How do you trust yourself, when you are being told externally, that you can’t do what you want?

Grab a drink, grab a notepad, grab a blanket and enjoy.

*This conversation surrounds topic of abuse and may be triggering for some listeners. This topic begins from 18:30, if you would like to skip forward. However, we do take care when discussing.

Today we’re joined by Aron Mazur, also known as The Hip Lawyer on social media.

In 2017, Aron faced a heartbreaking tragedy when he lost his then 25 year old sister tragically.

This profound loss has not only shaped his personal beliefs and values, but also ignited a passion for addressing grief and promoting conversations about loss. Channelling his grief into helping others, Aron has since co-founded two charities, Anika Legal and The Five Percent Foundation.

His journey took another turn with a debilitating hip condition in 2022, leading to two surgeries and significant disability, and sidelining him from work for 13 months due to chronic pain.

This experience challenged Aron to reflect on his approach to health and wellness. Embracing a combination of western medicine and spiritual practices, Aron has found ways to heal both physically and emotionally, overcoming physical limitations that once seemed insurmountable. He is a testament to overcoming physical and emotional pain and a beacon of hope for those in their darkest hours.

Today, we delve into bits of Aron’s story of re-identifying himself when handling chronic pain, the emotional and physical side of healing, finding belonging, and handling the loss of his sibling.

As always, I can't wait to hear your feedback.
