And everything else we confuse love to be. — I love watching wrestling. And reality television. What can I say? You learn things about the world from unlikely sources. One of my favourite all-time wrestlers is Nikki Bella, one-half of the Bella Twins. She’s a former two-time champion and the former fiance of John Cena. Yeah, that household name. …

And no, it wasn’t because he was right. — Ok, before I begin, let’s remind ourselves we have exes for a reason. We broke up with them for a reason. And we’re always going to think they do shitty things. This is one of those exes. When it came to this particular guy, I have several reasons for breaking…

Permission in relationships? You’ve got things all wrong. — There was a stack of makeup in front of me. I had just been on a shopping spree, spending my hard-earned money at one of my favourite beauty stores. The stack was huge, I give him that. But it wasn’t any fan of beauty or skincare wouldn’t appreciate. My then-boyfriend…

Burnout doesn’t always look the way you think it does. — You know when you feel tired and a good sleep seems to fix it? You know how you get a sore throat and you take the day off work and it turns out fine? You know how you have sore shoulders, and you get some rest and you’re fine? Yeah…

Why you can pre-emptively ruin your marriage before you even walk down the aisle. — This won’t be the first time I say this. And it probably won’t be the last. I shouldn’t be allowed on the internet. Why? Because I keep finding cheap, misguided relationship advice that rubs me the wrong way. And whilst I share relationship advice, and you could call this the…

And no matter what excuse you have, your actions speak louder than words. — I’m going to admit to something most people like to pretend they don’t do. I went cyberstalking an ex-friend. Not a lover, a friend. A female friend. I was at a concert the other day and I thought I saw her there. …

How I’m fixing the problem of having a Medium account that’s too polarising. — I don’t usually write about writing on Medium. I can’t stand it when I’m scrolling through TikTok and some random account spews junk at me about getting more views. I can’t stand the ads on Instagram telling me how to get more followers. It’s annoying. And with that in mind…

And even then, smart business people don’t always aspire to work less hours. — People like you and me are in a bit of a crisis. Most people think those who work on their own (freelancers, solopreneurs, influencers) work less than the average person. And why is this? Because there’s a host of freelancers, solopreneurs, and influencers who’ve told the world they do. I…

Customer service is one thing. But sometimes, to make money, you have to make lemonade from lemons. — Whether you know it or not, the world has conditioned us to object to anything negative. Negative people. Negative experiences. Negative associations. And a solopreneur, or business owner, negative reviews crack the top of the list of things to avoid. Avoid getting them. Avoid buying into them. …
