Hii friends!! Welcome back to Season 2 ✨💌
Today we’re talking about Finding Your Casual Magic through being yourself and unapologetically taking up space! And we’re talking to someone I’ve admired from afar for such a long time.
Megan Jayne Crabbe is an author, body positivity advocate and overall ray of sunshine human.
She recently wrote an incredible memoir called ‘We Don’t Make Ourselves Smaller Here’ - a gorgeous exploration into areas of her life where she’s dimmed her light.
We Don’t Make Ourselves Smaller Here is OUT NOW: https://bio.to/wdmosh
I'm so grateful for Megan's energy today as we get into all of this...
- Self-betrayal recovery
- The truth about being "too much"
- When we first learnt to judge ourselves
- Abandoning ourselves in relationships
And more!

Hii everyone, welcome back!
Today we’re talking about Finding Your Casual Magic through patience, advocacy and the LIFE-SAVING power of little wins!
I have a question: If you’re being told to give up, what would you do?
Tilly Rose wrote an incredible book called ‘Be Patient’; where she sheds light on the failings of the healthcare system, the emotional toll of having an undiagnosed condition and how she came to rely on little glimmers of joy to get her through.
I read her whole book in 2 days. It had me sobbing, laughing and overall feeling deep admiration for how powerful Tilly is.
Get ready for this eye-opening episode!

Welcome to the final episode of Season One of Finding Your Casual Magic! ✨
In this special episode, I sit down with the incredible Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez), writer, meditator, and author of the upcoming book How to Love Better. Together, we explore the deep connection between self-awareness and relationships, uncovering how our past experiences shape the way we love and communicate.
What We Cover in This Episode:
🌱 Healing & Self-Growth – Why personal development is the foundation of better relationships.
💛 Understanding Love – The difference between love and care, and why love is more than just a feeling.
🧘 The Power of Meditation – How Vipassana and self-reflection can change the way we show up in relationships.
🔥 Conflict & Communication – Why "winning" an argument is the wrong goal, and how listening selflessly is the key to connection.
🛑 Red Flags vs. Green Flags – What to look for in a healthy partnership and how to navigate relationship challenges.
🌊 The Nature of Impermanence – How embracing change can lead to deeper love and presence in our relationships.
💡 Diego shares his journey from rock bottom to self-discovery, his reflections on 18 years with his wife, and the simple yet profound wisdom that can help all of us love better.

Hi friends, welcome to this weeks episode of Finding Your Casual Magic! ✨ Finding Your Casual Magic Season 1 Survey: https://form.typeform.com/to/SbInOEx9 This week, we’re exploring one of the hardest experiences in life—heartbreak. Whether you’re healing from a breakup, considering one, or just processing loss in a broader sense, this episode is here to be your warm and safe space. 💛 Heartbreak is tough, but what if we could use it as an opportunity for growth? In this deeply personal episode, I share a step-by-step guide to navigating heartbreak in a way that helps you regain your personal power, learn about yourself, and open your heart again when the time is right. We begin with a grounding meditation (because centering yourself always helps), then dive into: 🌿 Why clarity is the key to healing and how to stop dwelling in “half-breakups” 💔 How to truly feel your feelings instead of suppressing them (no, being busy isn’t always the answer!) 📖 Lessons from We're Not Really Strangers and How to Love Better by Yung Pueblo 🌊 Why breakups are a form of grief—and how to move through it in a healthy way 💡 The power of self-reflection: what narratives and habits are keeping you stuck? 💞 Knowing when you're ready to love again and whether "rebound relationships" are really a bad thing 🔥 The Boy Sober trend, Gen Z’s struggles with dating apps, and why in-person connections feel so hard ⚡ Learning to embrace a “boring love” that actually brings you peace instead of anxiety And of course, we end with my Casual Magic of the Week—a sweet, unexpected moment of joy—and one from a listener that might just make you smile too. 😊

Hiii friends! Welcome back to this lil corner of the internet! It’s time for another episode of ✨Finding Your Casual Magic✨ and I am SO excited to have you here with me. First, a massive THANK YOU for all the love on the last few episodes! Reading your messages and hearing your casual magic moments has been the most heartwarming thing ever—it truly makes this space feel like a community. 💛 In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of my favourite topics ever: friendship. 🌟 We’re talking about how to create and sustain deep, meaningful connections in adulthood, embracing the bravery required to be vulnerable, and learning how to lean into those moments that test and strengthen our relationships. I open with a short guided meditation to help you feel present (a little pause for you in this busy, busy world), and then we get into the nitty-gritty. I share my own journey with friendship - what I’ve learned from being a self-confessed “bad friend,” how productivity culture impacts the way we connect, and why intentionality is key to maintaining close friendships. Plus, I reference some fascinating studies on loneliness, social media’s role in modern friendships, and why the health benefits of deep relationships are just as important as diet and exercise. Some of the insights in today’s episode come from: How to Make, and Keep, Friends in Adulthood: https://bit.ly/4al22Dw Surprising Friendship Statistics: https://bit.ly/4jhICUj The Roles of Social Media Use and Friendship Quality in Adolescents’ Well-being: https://bit.ly/4g1K4an Friendships and Health: https://bit.ly/4alHs64 Of course, we close with our Casual Magic of the Week (shoutout to Maike from the Netherlands for their beautiful story about reconnecting with nature 🏞️). Then, as always, I guide you through a moment of reflection and intention setting for the week ahead. I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired to reach out to a friend, make someone feel loved, or even reflect on what friendship means to you. 💌 Timestamps 0:00 - Welcome back + intro to the episode 3:28 - Guided meditation: pause, breathe, and ground yourself 5:40 - Friendship in adulthood: why it’s hard and why it matters8:40 - The loneliness epidemic: the stats behind our friendships15:29 - My friendship journey: from bad friend to better friend 23:36 - Productivity culture + hyper-independence: how they hurt connection 27:15 - Social media’s role in modern friendships 32:33 - Leaning into vulnerability + learning to communicate better 35:20 - Practical tips for sustaining long-distance friendships 42:45 - Jade's best advice for maintaining deeper friendships 46:00 - Why it’s okay to “burden” the people in your life 47:23 - Casual Magic of the Week: Maike reconnects with nature 50:45 - Reflection + setting intentions for the week ahead 💛 Share your Casual Magic of the Week!

Hi friends, welcome back to another episode of ✨Finding Your Casual Magic✨ This week, we’re exploring joy, optimism, and how the smallest moments can light up our lives - even when everything feels heavy. Joining me is the radiant David Larbi, a content creator, poet, and host of the podcast Mindful Moments. He’s also the author of the wonderful new book, Frequently Happy: 52 Mindful Moments to Bring Hope and Joy, which is all about embracing everyday magic. In today’s episode, David opens up about his journey of finding joy in the little things and reframing life’s challenges with gratitude instead of guilt. From his love of words and storytelling to what he’s learned from setbacks, David’s insights will inspire you to see the magic in your own life. 🌻 We begin with a grounding meditation (always a good idea to centre yourself) and chat about: Why optimism isn’t about ignoring challenges but about navigating them with hope 🌈 How storytelling can help you take control of your own narrative 🎭 David’s journey from school journaling to becoming a published author ✍️ The lessons he learned from his shoulder injury and the power of slowing down Finding joy in connection - even if it means embracing the “cringe” sometimes! We also share our ‘Casual Magic of the Week,’ with David’s moment being so heartwarming it’ll make you smile (even if he’s keeping his playlist secret!). 💛
The episode closes with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ and we hear from Marwyn who shares their Casual Magic followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab your journal or a cosy drink, and join us in reflecting on: What went well this week? What are you proud of? What challenged you? Let’s set a powerful intention for the week ahead. 🌟

Hello friends, welcome back to the twelfth episode of ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ (Happy New Year!!!)
Learn with Lingoda: 10% off + 45 free classes with code NEWYEARMAGIC: https://try.lingoda.com/NewYearMagic [ad] (all thoughts are my own and I GENUINELY can't recommend Lingoda enough!!) Have you ever caught yourself saying, oh, I'll be happy when I have the perfect partner and I'm no longer single? When I finally quit the job and I'm in my dream career, when I go on my dream holiday, or when climate change is solved and no one's suffering in the world anymore? When have you reached a goal but felt unfulfilled shortly after? Have you ever caught yourself thinking that when you cross that finish line everything will fall into place, only to realise that there's a new race ahead? I really hope today's episode re inspires you to realise that today is a gift. Your life is a gift, and your life is actually pretty amazing right now as it is. Today we're looking at something that I'm so passionate about. The illusion that our lives will feel better in the future after some vague outcome or life event, when the truth is you will carry the feelings that you have about yourself and your life now into whatever destination you're trying to get to. I'm going to walk you through a visualisation to help you really feel the deeper messages of today's episode and this idea of the arrival fallacy, which is when we think that upon achieving our goals, we'll finally attain all the happiness we desire, when in reality, a lot of the time the goalpost just changes. I'm also going to tell you about some of the happiest people that I've ever met and how generally the source of their happiness is being content with the now exactly as they are, with exactly everything that they have. The episode closes with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ and we hear from Marlene who shares their Casual Magic followed by intention setting for the week ahead.

Hello friends, welcome back to a very special bonus episode of ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ So many of you guys DM'd me on Instagram asking for a guided meditation and I thought what better time of year than as we're all looking ahead into the new year thinking about our dreams, daring to dream again, thinking about what we want to manifest into this next chapter of our lives. So I really hope that this time can allow you to fill your cup, bring in the positive energy that you desire, and really help you tune into gratitude for all the abundance that's already present in your life so that you can help invite more in. And if you've never meditated before, I promise it's not scary. I really invite you to be open minded, to allow your experience to be whatever it is and and I really hope that you come away from the next 15 to 20 minutes feeling some kind of energy shift. You can practice this meditation whenever you like, but I recommend returning to it regularly if you really want these manifestations and visualisations to embed themselves in your psyche. I hope you enjoyed this episode and as always I just want to send you this reminder that no matter where you are in your self confidence journey, no matter how you might feel today, you are always enough. 💛 Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and purpose of the guided meditation
