In this solo episode, Simone explores the tension between solitude and connection in our increasingly individualised world. Drawing inspiration from Floating Home: Lessons From a Life Less Ordinary and articles by Derek Thompson and Maybelle Morgan, she speaks on how modern life subtly encourages isolation and prioritising “boundaries” over meaningful social interaction.
Simone discusses when aloneness is good for us, such as solo travel and self-discovery, and when it starts to work against our nervous system and emotional well-being. She talks about how capitalism profits from our isolation and why it is time to see building community not as a luxury but as a life necessity.
This episode challenges the belief that independence equals strength or that needing others makes us weak. Simone explores how we can show up for each other with honesty, without over-functioning or self-sacrificing, and how to view connection as something grounding and healing.
Because at the end of the day, we do not thrive in isolation. We thrive in community.

In this episode, Mia and Simone unpack what it really means to decenter men, and spoiler: it’s not about hating men or cutting them out of your life.
Together, they break down how centering men often shows up in subtle ways, why shifting the focus back to yourself is an act of self-love, and how decentering men is really about reclaiming your voice, energy, and power.
Whether you’re navigating friendships, dating, or just your own growth journey, this conversation is a reminder that centering you is the most powerful choice you can make.

In this solo episode, Mia discusses the complex emotions that come with being sick. The guilt, the shame, and the pressure to "bounce back" as quick as possible. She unpacks how our culture’s obsession with productivity can make rest feel like a weakness instead of the deep necessity it truly is.
Through personal reflections and gentle truths, Mia explores how choosing rest is a radical act of self-care and resistance. Whether you’re currently navigating your own healing or simply need a reminder that slowing down is okay, this episode is here to hold space for you babe !!!

In this solo episode, Simone speaks about the difficult but important topic of trauma bonds. A trauma bond happens when a victim of abuse develops a deep emotional attachment to their abuser, something that can feel as consuming as an addiction.
Discussion touches on:
What trauma bonds are and how they form
Why they’re so hard to leave
The link between childhood experiences and adult relationships
How trauma bonds can distort intuition and self-identity
Practical steps for healing, from therapy and no contact to creative outlets and gentle movement
This episode is a reminder that leaving a trauma bond is not like a normal breakup - it requires patience, support, and rebuilding your sense of self. Whether you’re personally healing or supporting someone else, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.
Peace & love forever,
Simone <3
