Podcast Favourites! Some great weekend listening - You're welcome! 😉

Dear Readers,

I’ve not been in your inboxes much lately (and maybe you’re grateful for that, I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️). I’ve been busy tinkering around in the background trying to get to grips with what exactly it is I want to focus on in terms of my writing - My word for the year is ‘Clarity’, so I guess that gives me until the end of the year to work it out… Yay! 😆

Anyway, how is everyone? I’ve been getting slightly overwhelmed with all the new year/intention setting chat… it’s everywhere!! 😒 I’ve said it before, I don’t mean offence to anyone in particular and yes, I know I can just ignore it/take what I need/etc… but the problem is, it’s all fucking amazing! I need ALL OF IT!!! 😭🤣

I’ve come to realise that I’ve been attacking all the good/nurturing/healing stuff in the same toxic over-productive way I have done with everything else… thus inducing a strange new kind of overwhelm - A “Nurturwhelm” if you will! This has to stop! I’m working on it…

In Other News

I just found out this week that it is “extremely likely” that I have ADHD - who knew! 🤔 Through much of my own extensive research and finding myself identifying with other ‘ADHDers’ more and more, coupled with a few well-meaning (and actually very funny) remarks from “the boyfriend” – It suddenly hit me like a tonne of bricks! Of-course! Der!! 🤦🏽‍♀️😆 So I did a quiz…

Online Quiz - Therefore it MUST be true! 😆

Anyway, where are these sodding podcasts Eva? I hear you saying… so here you are…

Podcast Favourites! - January 2025

My ABSOLUTE favourite podcast at the moment is “You’re Never The Only One” by the hilarious

Cat Sims

- author of “Life To The Letter” here on Substack… and equally fabulous Emma Nicolet - who you can find on Instagram here: @emma_nicolet 👍

Here is one of their latest episodes and the Baby Brain stories are just hilarious and SO relatable!

Warning: This podcast is right up my street. It’s care free, brutally honest, open to the point of over sharing and just a tad “sweary” - If that’s not your bag, you have been warned! 😉 Enjoy!

The Burnout Rebellion with

Anna Rose

– What is the cost of hiding who we really are? Talking identity, universal connection and healing with Amanda Hinton.

TW: Pregnancy Loss

The Shift with

sam baker

- Having a wonderful and refreshing chat about all things ‘adulting’ and not being a “Big Fucking Baby” with the fabulous

Sarah Knight

- who writes “No F*cks Given” here on Substack - and if you’re not already a “Fuckling”, I suggest you become one immediately! 🤣

Beauty & Bone by

Layla O'Mara

“A Map To Our True Selves” Discussing Human Design with

Lauren Barber

- A fascinating conversation from two of my favourite people here on Substack. I highly recommend both of their publications 🥰

As You Are Podcast with

Lisa and Whit

Another gorgeous discussion about Human Design – Just in case you’re finding it as fascinating as I am! 🤩 – Lisa Bolin and Whit Stewart are joined in this lovely episode by

Rea Valkanos

- A nature intuitive and human design reader - where she explains how the five different energy types can each bring unique strengths. Off to find out my energy type right now of-course! 😉

Another Way with

Selina Barker

“A Walking Dream for an Audience of One” - Yes, it’s a long one… but totally worth it in my humble opinion. These two gorgeous humans bounce off each other effortlessly and make a vibrant and often hilarious combo, as Tiu de Hann (not Tui - like the travel company, as I originally spelled it 🤦🏽‍♀️) recounts her incredible journey through “one of the most extraordinary, life-changing experiences she’s ever had”

A bit “woo woo”? Maybe? But certainly an utterly fascinating and entertaining way to spend 2 hours of your weekend. Enjoy! 😌

That’s It For Now

Ok, that’s it from me for now. I’ll be back cramming up your inbox sometime next week with a book review (and maybe a really fucking long article that I keep adding bits to). So you can dread look forward to those. 👍

Then I’ll be hitting you (on the last day of the month) with a lovely little “listicle” (fabulous word) of my ‘Favourite Substack Reads’ from January (which feels like it’s lasting FOREVER! January, not the list. Just me?).

And finally, there will be “Issue #2” of the newly formatted “Newsletter” - which, by the way, all (7) of you decided would prefer to receive once a month. I’ve listened to my people and I shall deliver! 🫡… Sometime in the first week of each month.

Thanks so much for reading! 🥰 You can share if you fancy it… or a like, comment or re-stack would be fab too. Whatever… you do you! 👍

Have a great weekend all!
