Life Unfiltered: The Podcast

In this episode, I dig into what it means to trust that "the way is through". We'll talk about what it looks like to rely on this mantra in daily life and also the practical elements you can implement to support this thinking. As always, this episode will include personal reflection which I hope you find relatable. Be encouraged; the way is through no matter the circumstances you find yourself in. Every high and every low is shaping you into who you're meant to be and placing you where you need to be. Guys, the way is through. 🤍

All my love,

TW- pregnancy loss / miscarriage

Lydia is first and foremost an exceptionally good friend and a sister figure to me and has exemplified herself to be the kind of mum I hope to be one day. She has a gorgeous baby boy earth side, although her journey to motherhood has sadly not been quite so straightforward. In this episode, Lydia speaks honesty and from the heart to share her experiences of miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Prior to recording, we had a conversation about how as a society we can sometimes be naive to the difficulties that can be associated with conceiving, carrying a baby and giving birth. Perhaps we've watched too many movies with the "white picket fence" mentality; we think we'll get married, have a family and live happily ever after. Simple. This recording has been so educational for me and has increased my admiration for women and their journeys to motherhood so much more.

This episode is for people with a variety of experiences. The one who feels uneducated and wants to change that. The one who has babies in heaven. The one who has experienced pregnancy after loss. In every situation, I hope that you are encouraged or comforted by what Lydia shares.

An episode dedicated to the eldest children of Lydia and Stuart - always remembered and always loved.

She's back! In this episode Charis returns with a catch up of life at the moment and shares a thought surrounding the term "Just Start". Life is hectic and sometimes we can be full of excuses as to why we shouldn't do something, instead of just starting. Hit play to feel encouraged to try something new or bring back an old habit. It felt good to be back behind the mic. A chance to just chat, catch up and listen to some ramblings that might just help you along your own mental health journey.

In this episode, I'll uncover my thoughts and feelings towards Imposter Syndrome. As a long-standing sufferer, it was about time I lifted the lid on this topic. Our brains can be our own worst enemy sometimes and I wanted it to be known that you aren't the only one feeling like you're in the wrong place or don't deserve to be somewhere or to experience something. I hope this episode brings comfort and solidarity in knowing that someone else out there feels a similar way.

All my love,

Welcome to the first ever episode of Life Unfiltered: The Podcast. In this episode, I dive into the roots of Life Unfiltered on Instagram as we look at the birthplace of this community and what has brought us to this point. "Episode 1: Let's chat" is an opportunity to do just that, as I shares snippets of advice I have learned so far on this journey. I hope that you will gain a better understanding of who I am and what I'm about, as well as finding solidarity in the "me too" of mental health. You are never alone and I hope that as we open the conversation surrounding mental well-being, you will come to realise that. I really hope you enjoy episode 1.
