I love mindset work, I believe in neuroplasticity, and I will always have a soft spot for a motivational quote. But I also can't help but feel that all this advice about "being unbothered” might be actually... not so great? I want to talk about the other side of personal growth - the part that's not about becoming mentally tougher but actually about FEELING MORE because so many of us have learnt to intellectualise our emotions instead of experience them. Sacreligious but maybe the...

i want to do everything so i do nothing
If you've ever been afraid to decide because you're too afraid there might be a better choice out there you haven't thought of yet - this one is for you. Today we're talking about the paradox of choice… the feeling of being so frightened of making choices that we regret that we don't do anything at all. And whether you’re struggling with big decisions like your career path or who you choose to marry - or smaller ones like whether you should finally cut a fringe - I hope this episode will help...

how to crave doing hard things
Before you listen, I want to be so clear: this isn’t just about hyping you up to do marathon or to take ice baths. Those are great, but they’re not the only hard things that change you. There’s a lot of other things that nobody will notice (or cheer for!) at first: like going to therapy, or putting yourself out there when you might get rejected, or keeping your promises to yourself even though no one is watching. They’re not as aesthetic and you don’t walk away with a Strava score that you ca...

how to survive being your own boss | the art of working for yourself
Walking down memory lane today through my time as a full time yoga teacher but just know... this one is for anyone who is building something with their name on the door. Because all the Instagram posts yelling "you are too creative for a 9-5" do have a point - but what they don't talk about is the unromantic side of being your own boss. It's a crash course in self-development, and it will test you more than you could ever have expected. So today, I want to share seven things I wish someone ha...

outgrowing who you used to be | the messy middle
As we move through our 20s and into our 30s... I think we've all gone through specific moments when we've outgrowing our old self and we've left old version of ourselves behind. And often, it feels disorientating and awkward and really, really painful. But sometimes the hardest part of it is feeling guilty because you used to love your life!!! You used to be so driven to reach for the dreams that you now have... but you're in a place where it doesn't fit the way you thought, and you don...

being cringe is the cost of entry to everything worthwhile
If you've ever held back from something because you were scared of looking like you were trying too hard...this one's for you. I made this episode because the fear of being cringe kept me small for a longggg time, and it took me most of my 20s to finally realise that the there will always, always be something to be afraid of. And at the end of the day... I can either be afraid of embarrassing myself or of wasting my life. So here we go! ♡ more links! BSD on InstagramBSD on S...

no longer a pick me girl | how to start trusting yourself again
If you've ever said yes when you meant no, changed yourself to match the room, or realised you don't actually know what you like anymore... this one's for you. I spent wayyy too long trusting other people's opinions more than my own. For years, I stayed in a relationship where I had to constantly tip-toe around his moods. I ran myself ragged trying to please everyone around me, and I let pieces of myself be chipped away until I didn't even know who I was anymore. So today we're covering...

how to stop ruining your life | a realistic guide to self sabotage
Before you press play... this isn't another episode about motivation!!! Self-sabotage isn't laziness, it isn't a character flaw, and you can't think your way out of it. It's taken me awhile to learn that self sabotage is the result of something called 'conflicting desires': a clashing between who you consciously want to become and what your subconscious currently believes is safe. Today we're getting into why we are so often our own worst enemy, four sneaky ways we get in our own way, and the...

confessions of a perfectionist | how to stop procrastinating already
If you identify as a lazy perfectionist too, you're in the right place - because perfectionism always gets talked about like it's a discipline problem: just lock in, push through, stop overthinking, literally just do things! But if that advice worked... you'd have done the thing already. The reality is: you're not lazy or undisciplined, your passions are just triggering your nervous system! And your brain is just doing its best to protect you from being disappointed - so the only way yo...
