Talk Therapy

A note before you press play ❤️**This episode speaks openly about unexpected pregnancy, conception, and fertility. If you are currently on a trying to conceive journey, first, I want you to know I see you, love you, and I am sending you so much strength. This conversation is not meant to minimise the complexity, heartbreak or longing that can come with that path. If today isn't the day for this one, save it, come back when it feels right. And if it is, I truly believe there is so much hope and healing in Tori's story for you. This episode also touches on mental health, suicidal ideation and dark moments. If you are struggling please know you are not alone. Lifeline 13 11 14 🤍In this episode I am joined by my incredible friend and one of the realest humans on the internet misssss @ttoristory!Tori is 29 weeks pregnant with her miracle baby boy, and today she is sharing everything. Her journey as an elite acrobat, her PCOS diagnosis at 18, the years of working on her health naturally, and the pregnancy that absolutely nobody, including her, saw coming.We get into:- Being diagnosed with PCOS and what that moment actually felt like- 35 cysts on one ovary, 25 on the other, and what she did next- Why she refused surgery and medication and chose the long game instead- Going from 60 cysts to 3 with no medication.. just whole foods and nervous system work- The pullout method, one unplanned night, and two very strong lines- Falling pregnant on the first try after 6 years together, with PCOS and irregular periods- The pregnancy she didn't expect and the emotions that came with it- HG, losing 6kg, and hating 95% of pregnancy whilst being deeply grateful- What she would tell younger Tori in her darkest moments- Knowing your WHY as the only thing that gets you through. Tori is proof that when you do the work - the real, unglamorous, long game work, your body hears you. And that opinions placed on you about what is or isn't possible for your body are just that. Opinions.If you have ever been told your body can't do something… this episode is for you.Go follow Tori! you will never feel alone consuming her content 🤍 📲 @ttorisstory on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube 🎙️ Her podcast: Raw RealityAs always, it would mean the world to me to hear from you.

YOUR PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE!In this episode I share my experience of feeling lost in friendships, questioning where I belonged, and genuinely wondering if I would ever find 'my people'.For a long time, it felt like everyone else had their people and I just didn’t. But instead of forcing connections that didn’t feel right - I grieved a lot of friendships that I thought were 'forever' and I made the decision to hold my standard of what I wanted in my friendships, even if that meant being alone.This episode is about what happened in those “lonely” years… and how they were actually the most important part of attracting the right friendships into my life.I also dive into:How to attract aligned friendshipsWhat you need to stop doing (that might be pushing the right people away)Who you need to become to call in the friendships you wantWhy forcing friendships never works, and what to do insteadAnd of course some big sister advice from me to you!If you’ve been feeling like you don’t quite fit, like your friendships aren’t fully aligned, or like you’re still searching for your people… this episode is for you.As always, thank you so much for listening.
