In this episode of Rachel & Co, I'm joined by Natalie from Lips and Linez - aesthetic practitioner, dance teacher, and mum of three - for one of the most honest conversations I've had on the podcast.

We talk about what it's like to grow up feeling like you're never quite good enough, how childhood experiences shape your confidence, self-worth, and relationships long into adulthood, and what it actually takes to start unlearning all of that.

Natalie opens up about her rock bottom moment - the turning point that pushed her to rebuild her life from scratch as a single mum - and we get into body image, people-pleasing, narcissistic relationships, setting boundaries, and what it really means to know who you are and what you deserve.

If you've ever felt like you've spent years giving too much of yourself to the wrong people, or you're somewhere in the middle of figuring out who you actually are, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Adam brings a series of thoughtful questions they were curious to ask a therapist - around trauma, parenting, personality, and how our early experiences shape us.

This isn’t about quick fixes or labels. It’s a grounded conversation, offering perspective, reflection, and gentle insight into the things many people often wonder about.

If you’re curious about therapy, interested in understanding yourself more deeply, or simply want a calm, human conversation about emotional life, this episode is for you.
