  • Outgrowing What You Love: Stranger Things, Addiction & Your Late 20s | Ep 29
    Jan 19 2026

    In this episode, I’m sitting down for a cosy, honest catch-up that starts with Stranger Things and slowly turns into a bit of a life unload!!! Reflecting on life in my late twenties and this one goes a little deeper than expected lol..

    I talk about why Stranger Things hasn’t been hitting the same (especially after that documentary release), nicotine snuggles and why outgrowing comfort can feel so uncomfortable. We get into late-twenties reflections, evolving friendships, career uncertainty, and the very real struggle of dealing with nicotine addiction and trying to break habits that no longer serve me.

    This episode is very much a relaxed, chatty ramble.. equal parts reflection, venting, and figuring things out in real time. There’s no big lesson or perfect conclusion, just honest thoughts about change, growth, and learning to sit with where you’re at.

    🎧 Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let’s have a real catch-up.

  • Conformity Gate, Fan Theories & The Future of Stranger Things | Ep 28
    Jan 12 2026

    In this episode, I’m sitting down for a cosy, chatty deep dive into Stranger Things.. the show that somehow has us all emotionally attached, theorising at 2am, and rewatching every season (mostly S5!) like it’s the first time lol.

    I talk about how Stranger Things became such a phenomenon, why the fandom (me...) is SO invested, and dive into popular fan theories (including Conformity Gate 👀). I share my honest reactions to Season Five, the moments that surprised me, and how it compares to other iconic series we’ve loved over the years.

    We’ll get into behind-the-scenes hints and clues, what fans are saying online, and my own theories about how it might all end plus what I’m hoping we see next from the Stranger Things universe..

    This episode is very much a relaxed catch-up, filled with curiosity, speculation, nostalgia, and a little bit of “hear me out…” energy. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love a good theory chat, this one’s for you.

    🎧 Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let’s talk Stranger Things.

  • New Year Reset for 2026: Habits, Intentions & a Stranger Things Theory | Ep 27
    Jan 5 2026

    In this episode, I’m sharing a calm, honest reset for the year ahead and talking you through what I’m intentionally focusing on for 2026. Rethinking New Year’s resolutions to choosing habits that actually feel sustainable, this is a gentle but motivating start to the year.

    I chat about becoming part of the 5am club (why I’m doing it and what I hope it gives me), prioritising flexibility and movement over pressure, and trying new hobbies like skipping (not for aesthetics, but for energy and consistency). We also talk about letting go of unrealistic expectations, creating routines that support your real life, and choosing goals that align with who you’re becoming.

    And because this podcast is never just about goals… I also go on a little Stranger Things tangent, sharing my theories and why a future episode might need to be dedicated entirely to it 👀✨

    If you want 2026 to feel intentional, grounded, aligned with a little pop culture chat thrown in.. this episode is for you 🤍

    🎧 Listen now and grab your cuppa.
