This episode is all about LURVEEEE. Love is a big topic. This is a solo episode on all things love. I thought it best and most authentic if I speak from the heart rather than research the hell out of it. There is lots of opinions, controversial pain points and misconceptions when it comes to the topic of love and I did not want to get all up in the nitty and gritty of it, so instead this podcsat for you if you want a raw and honest perspective on love. I cover what is love, how it links to attachment, self-worth and mental health. I reason with you about vulnerability, risk and pain that can show up along with the idea of fantasy vs intuition to start to break down how this complex feeling and sensation can play a role in our relationships and in our lives. I end on a curious note on the concept of saying I love you and I bring it home to come back to self and the realms of self-love. Find out more about this episode here.

This episode is all about Women's Mental Health. Since 2010, the “Liptember” flagship fundraising campaign has encouraged people to wear lipstick throughout the month of September as a lighthearted and fun way to raise awareness and vital funds for women's mental health, raising over $12 million to date. Before the Liptember Foundation existed, charities supporting women were limited and women's mental health wasn't even on the agenda.

Representing for Liptember is Katrina Locandro the strategic mind and marketing force behind the Liptember Foundation. She has a literal sense of humour and an enormous passion for women's mental health.
