#10 The storms that shape us
In this episode, I speak about some personal experiences throughout my life to prove the theory that "everything does happen for a reason" and that as shitty as a situation or time can be, there will always be a positive through the darkness. Every person, experience, or moment is an opportunity for growth. Good & bad. I want you to know that no matter how shit you may be feeling, it does get better and you WILL come out a stronger version of yourself.

#8 A job that was too good to be true
In this episode I share my experience of a "too good to be true job" that popped up on my trip to QLD. In no way was this the worst job. But I think what should be recognised is that the job was not advertised correctly and empty promises we're made. Travellers should be aware of scenarios like this one and I am more than happy to talk about it!

#6 Victoria, it's not you... It's the weather!
I moved from Victoria to Queensland with no plan, no house, no job- just my car, a swag, the coastline, and a "she'll be right" attitude.

If you're waiting for the "perfect moment" to make a change... this is your sign.
