Self-Improvement Relationships

What Makes Someone Friendship Material?

We have boyfriend lists. Husband lists. Deal-breakers. Non-negotiables. But have you ever stopped to think about what you actually want in a friend? As we get older, making friends becomes more complicated. Proximity and shared interests might have been enough when we were younger, but adult friendships often require something deeper. In this episode, I talk about being more intentional about the friendships we build and ask: Are you friends because you're genuinely compatible or because you enjoy the activity that brought you together? I explore friendships standards and non-negotiables, friendships built on alcohol and partying, trauma bonded friendships, the role of shared interests and proximity, and whether loneliness can cause us to lower our standards.

Pov: It's July and Your Year Doesn't Look Like Your Vision Board

Have you looked at your vision board recently and realised your life looks nothing like your vision board? Somewhere between January and now life happened. It didn't check your calendar, ask if you have capacity, or wait until you had accomplished your goals. It just happened. Same. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop seeing delayed dreams as failure, how to re-strategise after life throws unexpected challenges, and how we can still finish the year strong.

Don't Let Your Ex Choose Your Next Partner

Have you ever met someone who felt amazing simply because they did everything your ex didn’t? Maybe they communicate better. Maybe they’re more affectionate. Maybe they’re emotionally available. Suddenly, it feels like you’ve finally found “the one.” But what if what you’re feeling isn’t compatibility… it’s relief? In this episode, I talk about how the pain from our previous relationships can quietly influence who we choose next. Sometimes the qualities we were deprived of become the only things we evaluate, causing us to overlook compatibility, values, boundaries, and the bigger picture. I explore how deprivation can cloud our judgment. IG: Fromagirlsgirl

Be a Shameless Lover Girl!

Society makes many women feel as though being a lover girl is something to be ashamed of. We're told wanting love is a distraction. That yearning for connection makes us naive. And after heartbreak, we're often encouraged to become detached, nonchalant, and emotionally unavailable in the name of self-preservation. In this episode I talk about embracing your quality of being a lover girl and not seeing it as a curse that always leads to heartbreak. If you're a lover who has been embarrassed for wanting love, judged for loving wholeheartedly or pressured to become something you're not in order to avoid getting hurt...this episode is for you, Lover Girl.

Healing Doesn't Make You Unrejectable

In this episode, I talk about how healing culture can sometimes make us feel like we need to become “better” before we deserve love. Many of us start healing after heartbreak, disappointment, or unhealthy relationships, but somewhere along the way, healing can quietly become tied to the hope of finally being chosen correctly. We begin believing that if we heal enough, love will finally stay. If we become emotionally intelligent enough, self-aware enough, feminine enough, disciplined enough, then maybe we’ll finally experience the relationship we’ve been waiting for. But what happens when healing becomes less about peace and more about preparing for a future reward? Maybe healing was never meant to make us perfect. Maybe it was meant to help us abandon ourselves less while experiencing life as human beings

Is Space in a Relationship a Bad Thing?

In today’s episode of From a Girl’s Girl, I talk about space in relationships and why hearing the words “I need space” can feel so triggering and anxiety-inducing for so many people. I explore the difference between healthy and unhealthy space, how people process conflict differently, and why understanding your conflict language is just as important as understanding your love language. This episode unpacks emotional regulation during conflict, the importance of communication and reassurance, and how space can sometimes create clarity instead of confusion. I also discuss how to respond when someone asks for space without abandoning yourself emotionally, while learning how to ground yourself instead of reacting from fear, panic, or overwhelm. Because sometimes space is not rejection... sometimes it is reflection, regulation, and an attempt to return to the relationship calmer, clearer, and more intentional.

Entitlement vs Knowing Your Worth & Having Standards

There is a thin line between knowing your worth and having standards, and a lot of us blur that line without even realising it. In this episode, I unpack the difference between standards, expectations, and entitlement, especially in the talking stage. We explore how the way we communicate our desires can completely change how they are received, and why some standards are rooted in self-worth...while others come from ego or past experiences. This episode is an invitation to reflect, not judge because sometimes, what we think is self-worth might actually be something else. IG: fromagirlsgirl

Maybe That's Not Your Type...It's Your Pattern

We always hear people talk about a "type"...but what if what you've been calling your type isn't actually your type at all? In this episode, I unpack the difference between attraction and alignment, and how your dating patterns might be rooted in familiarity rather than intention. I talk about why physical attraction alone isn't enough, how self-awareness shapes your standards, and why discernment is one of the most important skills you can have in dating. If you've ever found yourself attracted to the same kind of person, even when it doesn't work out...this episode is for you. Because the goal isn't just to have a type, it's to choose people who actually align. IG: fromagirlsgirl

Are Your Beliefs Sabotaging Your Relationships?

In this episode, I explore the concept of self-fulfilling prophecies in relationships and how the stories we carry about ourselves in love can shape our dating experiences. Long before we meet someone, many of us already have an internal narrative about who we are in relationships. Some people believe they’re never the one who gets chosen, others fear that commitment will cost them their independence, and some expect relationships to end in disappointment. These beliefs often operate quietly in the background, but they can influence how we behave, what we tolerate, and how we interpret our partner’s actions. In this episode I discuss how self-concept influences relationship patterns, why two people can date the same type of partner but have very different experiences, and how self-fulfilling prophecies can keep us stuck in cycles we don’t fully understand. This episode invites you to reflect on the beliefs you may be carrying into your relationships and how they might be shaping the outcomes you experience. IG: fromagirlsgirl

You're Not in Love. You're Attached

Have you ever looked at another woman’s relationship and instantly thought, “She’s settling,” yet struggled to see the same patterns in your own life? In this episode I explore the uncomfortable gap between what we know and what we actually do in love. I talk attachment, hope, romantic delusion, the “future version” of him you’re dating, and why chaos can feel like chemistry. If you’ve ever convinced yourself that bare minimum is love... this episode is for you. IG: fromagirlsgirl
