Do you ever feel like everyone else has life figured out while you're still wondering what comes next? In this episode of So, What Happens Next?, we're talking about the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. Whether you're questioning your career, your relationships, your purpose, or simply feeling stuck between chapters, you're not alone. Together, we'll explore why not having a plan can feel so overwhelming, how comparison and social media make uncertainty even harder, and why feeling lost doesn't mean you're failing, it often means you're growing. If you've been waiting until you have all the answers before taking the next step, this episode is your reminder that you don't need to see the whole path to move forward. In this episode, we cover: Why uncertainty feels so uncomfortable The hidden grief of letting go of old plans and expectations How comparison fuels anxiety about the future Why growth often feels messy before it feels exciting Practical ways to navigate seasons where you don't know what's next If you've ever asked yourself, "What am I doing with my life?" or "Why does everyone else seem so far ahead?", this conversation is for you.

Late 20s Identity Crisis - Learning to be kind to yourself

Feeling lost in your late 20s? Questioning your career, identity, relationships, or where your life is going? In this episode of So What Happens Next? I talk honestly about the pressure of feeling “behind” in your 20s, grieving old versions of yourself, social media timelines, career panic, and the fear of running out of time. This episode is for anyone navigating a late 20s identity crisis, struggling with comparison, reinventing themselves, or feeling unsure about who they’re becoming. From fitness and grief to learning new hobbies and rebuilding confidence, this is an honest conversation about growth, change, and learning that uncertainty doesn’t mean failure.

The child free glow up

This week’s episode is all about The Childfree Glow-Up, not just physically, but mentally, and emotionally. After falling into a bit of a slump lately with doom scrolling, Netflix marathons, procrastination and an “I’ll do it later” mindset, I’m talking honestly about the small things that have been helping me feel like myself again. From rebuilding routines and getting back into hobbies, to fixing my sleep, sorting my space out and romanticising my life again, this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to reset at any point. I also talk about the freedom that comes with being childfree, learning to enjoy your own company, and creating a life that genuinely feels good to you, not just one that looks productive online. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, disconnected from yourself, or just a bit “off” lately, this one’s for you.

So... why do I not want to have children. My 7 reasons why!

This week’s episode is probably the most raw, honest and unfiltered conversation I’ve had on the podcast so far. I’m talking openly about some of the reasons why I’ve personally chosen not to have children. From deeper experiences growing up, to wanting freedom, sleep, hobbies, peace, spontaneity, and honestly… just genuinely loving the life I’ve built. Some reasons are serious. Some are funny. Some are probably a little controversial. But all of them are honest. This episode isn’t about judgement or saying one life path is better than another. As always, this podcast is about choice, self-awareness, and building a life that genuinely aligns with who you are. So… let’s talk about it 🤍

Healing your inner child through hobbies

In this episode of So What Happens Next, I’m talking about hobbies, healing your inner child, and learning how to build a life that feels fulfilling outside of society’s expectations. Why does fun suddenly seem to have an age limit? Why are we encouraged to be creative as children, only to be told to “grow up” as adults? I talk about my own experience of reconnecting with myself through hobbies, creativity, dance, romanticising life again, and allowing myself to enjoy things without needing them to be productive. Whether you’re childfree, questioning the traditional life script, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself lately, this episode is your reminder that you are allowed to have fun again. Because maybe healing isn’t always about fixing yourself. Maybe your inner child just wants to play again.

Relationships, Friendships and Family: Navigating a Child Free Life

So… what happens next when your relationships don’t all move in the same direction as your life? In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve personally found one of the hardest parts of stepping outside the traditional timeline. Relationships. From romantic relationships and having those difficult conversations early on… to friendships shifting over time, and the quiet pressure that can come from family, this is an honest look at how life choices can impact the people around you. I share some of my own experiences, from navigating those early conversations in relationships, to moments where I’ve felt out of place in friendships, and the assumptions that can come from family. This one felt a bit more vulnerable to record, but it’s an honest one.

Redefining milestones: life without the traditional timeline

So… what happens when your life doesn’t follow the timeline you thought it would? In this first episode, I’m getting into the idea of milestones, the ones we grow up expecting, and what it feels like when your life doesn’t quite line up with them. From subtle pressure, to comparison, to that quiet feeling of being a bit 'behind'. This is about the in-between stage that not many people talk about. But it’s not just about that. It’s also about shifting your perspective. What if milestones aren’t fixed? What if you actually get to choose them? I talk about redefining what a meaningful life looks like, through things like growth, freedom, relationships, and building something that actually feels right for you, not just what’s expected. If you’ve ever felt a bit out of sync, unsure what comes next, or like you’re not quite where you “should” be… this one’s for you.
