“Identity Anxiety: When You Don’t Know Who You Are Anymore”

Feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or like you’re floating through your 20s? You’re not broken - you’re becoming. In this raw and soul-nourishing episode of Navigating Your 20s, we’re talking about identity shifts, self-discovery, and that uncomfortable in-between season where your old self doesn’t fit, but your new self isn’t fully formed yet.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” or questioned your goals, habits, friendships, or who you even are without your gym routine, your relationship, or your hustle - this episode is your safe space.


We’ll unpack the emotional grief of growth, the trap of reattaching to your past, and how to rebuild self-trust, inner confidence, and clarity from the inside out. With journal prompts and mindset shifts to help you anchor into who you actually are - not who the world told you to be.


Perfect for women in their 20s navigating the mess, magic, and meaning of becoming the best version of themselves - on their own terms.

Why Perfection is Killing Your Progress

You Don’t Need to Be Perfect to Be Toned: The Anti-Hustle Glow Up

Think you need to hustle 24/7, skip brunch, and live in a calorie deficit to get lean and toned? Think again. In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, I’m calling out the toxic “all or nothing” mindset that’s keeping you stuck — and giving you the sustainable strategy instead.

I break down why hustle culture is ruining your body transformation goals and how to ditch burnout without ditching your results. We’re talking smart fat loss strategies, building your bare minimums, and how your social life can actually support your goals (yes, you can keep your dessert and your abs).

This is for the girl in her 20s who’s done with extremes, ready to drop 5–10kg, and wants to glow up without giving up her sanity or social life.

🎧 You’ll learn:

  • Why perfection is not the path to a toned body

  • How to build a results-driven routine you actually enjoy

  • The real reason you're not seeing progress (hint: it’s not willpower)

  • Why rest and recovery are your new secret weapon

  • How I coach my clients to stay consistent without burnout

Ready for your anti-hustle glow up? This episode will show you how to tone up, level up, and still love your life along the way.

Did the Pandemic F*ck Our 20s?

Feeling stuck in your 20s? Whether it's your job, relationship, living situation, or even your mindset — you’re not alone. In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, we unpack why so many of us feel confused, behind, or like we're “doing life wrong,” especially after the pandemic rewired our timelines, routines, and sense of self.

From the pressure to follow the societal timeline (“I had kids by your age!” — thanks, Mum) to the guilt of outgrowing old goals, we dive deep into the invisible expectations women in their 20s carry every single day.

This is your permission slip to change paths, let go of what no longer fits, and create a version of success that’s actually aligned with who you are now — not who you thought you'd be at 25. Because you're not lazy. You're not lost. You're just evolving — and it’s time to own that.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your 9–5, questioning your relationship, or just wondering if you’re falling behind in life, this episode will help you untangle the mental clutter, ditch the outdated rules, and reclaim your power.

Mid-Year Reset: How to Actually Get Back on Track with Your 2025 Goals

It’s mid-year — how are those New Year’s resolutions really going? In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, I’m pressing pause for an honest check-in. If you’re a girl in your 20s who started the year full of big intentions but now feels off-track, stuck in old habits, or frustrated that you’re not where you thought you’d be… this one’s for you.

This isn’t about shame — it’s a reset, not a restart. I’m breaking down why falling off track is more common than you think and why it has nothing to do with laziness. Life got busy. Your goals faded into the background. But that doesn’t mean they’re over — and it definitely doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your goals in a way that actually lasts, how to get out of the all-or-nothing cycle that keeps you stuck, and why your future self is still waiting for you to show up.

I’m also diving into the truth about perfectionism, pressure, and why we tend to overcommit in January but burn out by April. I’ll walk you through what it looks like to shift from surface-level motivation to true identity change — and how to start embodying the version of you that you set out to become this year. If you’ve been feeling behind, overwhelmed, or just out of sync with the version of you you want to become, this episode will help you realign and take that first step forward again.

Because here’s the truth: the girl you wanted to become in January is still within reach. You don’t need a whole new plan — you just need to start choosing her again. Your December self is waiting — what will you do today to become her?

The Real Reason You Crave Sugar, Snacks & Takeout 24/7

In your 20s, food isn’t just food. It’s comfort. Control. Escape. Identity. And for so many girls trying to get their health and confidence back, it becomes noise—a constant loop of guilt, cravings, restriction, and obsession.


In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, we’re unpacking the truth behind food noise and why your relationship with food might feel so overwhelming right now. We dive into the psychology behind your cravings, the role of dopamine in your everyday choices, and why so many high-achieving women feel trapped in cycles of “eating clean” one day and spiraling the next.


You’ll learn how stress, burnout, and perfectionism in your 20s drive you toward quick dopamine hits from food — and why traditional dieting only makes it worse. Most importantly, you’ll hear how to quiet the noise, build new reward pathways, and finally create a relationship with food that’s rooted in freedom, not fear.


If you’ve ever felt like food is always on your mind — and you’re ready to get your energy, body, and life back — this episode will be a game changer. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about becoming the version of you who feels free.

If You’ve Ever Said “I’ll Start Monday” — Listen to This

In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, we’re unpacking one of the biggest reasons you keep getting in your own way — even when you swear you want change. We’re talking all things self-sabotage, fear of commitment, and the sneaky psychology behind why you stay stuck.

This isn’t about laziness — it’s about protection. Your 20s are filled with massive identity shifts, scary decisions, and pressure to figure everything out. So instead of risking failure or rejection, your brain chooses the “safe” option: procrastination, perfectionism, avoidance, confusion. Sound familiar?

We’ll dive into why so many women in their 20s are scared of committing to their goals — whether it’s starting your fitness journey, leaving that dead-end job, or finally showing up for the version of yourself you dream about. From secondary gain to fear of success, identity conflict to deep-rooted beliefs about worthiness, this episode will challenge the stories you've been telling yourself and give you a framework to finally break free.

This is your wake-up call to stop waiting until you “feel ready.” If you’re done playing small and you’re craving transformation — this one’s for you.

You're Not Lazy — Here's the Real Reason You Keep Falling Off Track

Are you really stuck, or are you getting something out of staying stuck? In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, we dive into the concept of secondary gain — the hidden psychological payoff behind why you self-sabotage, even when you’re trying to grow.


We’re talking about why you “can’t stay consistent,” why you feel lost in your career, why you skip workouts or stay in the wrong relationships, and why you constantly doubt yourself. Your 20s are meant for change, identity shifts, and figuring things out, but if you’re unknowingly choosing comfort over progress, you’ll keep circling back to the same patterns.


This episode will challenge how you think about motivation, failure, and the sneaky ways your subconscious keeps you in the safety zone. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and the tools to finally break free and start showing up like the woman you’re meant to become.


If you’re ready to stop waiting, stop spiralling, and start stepping into your next chapter — this one is a must-listen.

F45 vs. Strength Training – Which One Actually Gets Results?

If you’re relying on fitness classes to stay motivated, constantly telling yourself you can’t do something, or feeling stuck in a cycle of fear—this episode of Navigating your 20s is for you. Today, we’re diving into solo trips, taking risks, and why breaking free from old fitness mindsets is the key to long-term results.

Let’s talk about the truth behind fitness classes, why so many of them are injury-prone and outdated, and why relying on them for motivation might be holding you back. I share my thoughts on why strength training actually delivers results, from building confidence to improving bone density, and why setting up in a corner with a barbell will take you further than any HIIT circuit ever could.

If you’ve ever thought, I could never lift heavy weights or I need a class to push me, it’s time to challenge that mindset. I’ve had clients go from lifting 2kg to a 20kg barbell in just a few months. If that sounds like a long time to you, it’s time to shift your perception of what progress really looks like.

We’re breaking down the fear of change, the fear of staying the same, and how to stop getting caught in the revolving door of doubt. If you’re ready to take control of your fitness and your life, let’s talk.
