This was an interview I was really nervous for - It's hard to sit down and chat about mistakes at the best of times- let alone with a microphone but it felt like the right thing to do. Enough time has past to have this chat and so, this is a (portion of) a conversation I had with Rachel over on the Now What Podcast discussing the truth about breaking up with someone who is not the biological parent of your children. It's raw, honest and perhaps, needed- to help ease the shame some women may carry when it comes to "failed" relationships.  Listen to the full conversation with Rachel here: The Now What?

Kylie has asked this question to almost every woman she knows. Most of them go blank. This episode is about what happens next. In this episode Kylie shares an observation she keeps having with the women, and with herself around how rarely we actually stop to ask what we want from our weeks, our days, our lives. Not what needs to get done. How we actually want it to feel. This episode includes reflection prompts you can use as journal questions or just sit with as you go about your day- covering what you want, what you don’t want, where resentment is showing up, and when you last felt most like yourself. No productivity hacks. No systems. Just an invitation to get curious. This episode is for subscribers. Not subscribed yet?

Unfortunately - it is really common for women to feel like they no longer matter in their own lives. It happens gradually and simply, because they run out of time and energy to even "care" what they like or want for themselves.  When everyday is focused on meeting the needs of everyone around you - it makes sense that you just kind of "turn your own needs and wants down". At some point though, we have to tune back into ourselves. This episode is about why women deprioritise their own preferences, the discomfort of not knowing what you enjoy anymore and realistic ways to begin reconnecting with yourself in small, effective ways.This isn’t about adding more to your plate.It’s about restoring the signal of who you are.If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, this is your starting point.

This is one of those "fly on the wall" episodes where a friend and I get VERY honest about the things we wish we knew 15 years go and the elements of a "good" partner that simply did not even register all those years ago. It's a chat about limited time and care for "dead weight" but making space for the right fit. It's about going deeper on what a good partner is, and a "good" team mate in raising kids. We talk about the bad behaviour we've accepted previously, the true cost of not having emotional safety and reflect on mistakes made...and so much more.
