Gift of the Gab

TODAAAAY I am joined by TikTok cosplay star Millie aka Whatsername. I am screaming. I have followed Millie for ages and looooved watching her and obviously as a fellow Scottish girl it's always so fun to connect with your own. In this episode Millie talks to me about sacking off uni and trying to explain to her mother that she wants to cosplay (the parents never get it), people thinking she's American, dealing with incels on the internet and the weirdest dm requests... I HOPE YOU ENJOY 🤪

I've got someone VERY special on the podcast this week, broadcaster and podcast host of "Blethered" Glasgow boy Sean McDonald. You've definitely seen him before, he's got a face that's hard to forget and he doesn't shut up. Sean talks to me about what it takes to be a real podcaster, interviewing an Al-Qaeda spy, why some people deserved to be bullied, beefing with Jeremy Kyle and how the TOWIE cast are really just children of gangsters. And as always, much much more. As well as the laughs that we had, Sean also opened up about his childhood growing up with a single mum in Glasgow, dealing with the loss of his childhood friend who was murdered and the difficulties of navigating life. Sean has helped me stay motivated through starting this podcast and he's been a great mentor and listener and I COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT HIM.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE!!!! I am joined by Fiorenza from the newest and HOTTEST reality tv show I Kissed A Girl. This was piping scorching hot and soooo much fun. We talked about the whole masseria journey, her arrival, the kiss offs, the drama on the show AND after the show. We dive into being a Glasgow girl, growing up in Scotland and the rollercoaster of finding your identity. THIS WAS SO SO SO GOOD!!!

This week I’m joined by a very special guest and someone that I’ve wanted on for the LONGEST time. Molly McFarlane is a Scottish influencer who started her Instagram career before influencing was even a thing. I have followed Molly for the longest time, like many people, as she has shared her incredible style, her ongoing success, and sneak peaks into her life. Alongside her career comes speculations, assumptions, and a lot of rumours. Molly shares her difficulties with people perceiving her, her public breakup, the changes in her career and friendships and her all around anxiety of working in this industry. This was a very candid and honest conversation and really made me think about how we need to do more to treat others with kindness. I hope you enjoy this episode and also remember not to believe everything you hear because most of the time, it’s bullsh!t :).

Hello hello and welcome back. I need to start off by saying this episode is just tooooo goooood. The listeners provided the good and DID NOT disappoint. We're discussing all things love, shags and failures. We listen to some crazy stories from getting it on with a stranger on an overnight bus to spewing on a boy to threesomes with your pals. I can't spill anymore, you just need to listen. ENJOYYYYY.

I'M BACKKK!!!! Literally, I'm back in Glasgow from being away as an au pair. What a journey it was... from breakdowns to diarrhoea to never wanting to have kids to making besties for life. Honestly, would I recommend being an au pair? No. Not unless you're mentally tough, which I am not. However, it does make for some great stories. ENJOOOOYYYYY

I'm opening up about my struggle with body image. I have struggled since I was a teenager with the way my body looked, like many others.  I always like to have a laugh and keep things lighthearted while I record episodes and this is still the case for this one but as you will see I do get emotional. I talk about the experiences I’ve had and how they still impact me to this day. I open up about my eating disorder and how I overcame it as well as my thoughts on the pressures of beauty standards that still remain in society.  We live in such a strange environment of social media and this bizarre celebrity world, nothing feels authentic or real, everything is so perfectly manicured and warped to be aesthetically pleasing. It’s hard to not put this pressure on ourselves and feel the weight of it. It’s always important to check yourself. Please be kinder to yourself and speak to yourself as if you were speaking to the younger version of you. Look out for yourself and look out for each other. I also want to say that I did film this on three hours of sleep after being on a night out so if I seem like I am out of it that is why lol, love you xxxxxxx PSA If you are seriously struggling I urge you to please speak to someone you trust or seek help from your GP, you are not alone and you should not have to struggle alone.

I have LEFT THE UK and I am now living in Madrid!!!! I just started recording this and I ended up talking about how lonely it can feel moving away. Regardless of if you like the city and if you're surrounded by good people it can still be extremely isolating. I moved here to get some space from Scotland, learn Spanish and to try something new. I kinda think I expected my problems to just disappear when I arrived here but they now feel bigger than ever to be honest.... It's not all glitz and glam when you move somewhere completely different but it is an exciting journey with its ups and downs. I hope you'll follow along as I continue to navigate the world 😊. KISSSSESSS xxxx 💋

another episode full of SHOCKING horrors shared by myself and the listeners. This week I'm discussing flatmate / neighbour/ uni halls stories. There are some weird freak people that live among us. I share about my time living about the Edinburgh strip clubs, having to call the police on some wild visitors we had in the stairwell and our weird asf neighbours. On top of this the incredible listeners sent in their own freaky stories from OnlyFans disasters ( siblings :/ lol) to some disgusting mouldy flatmates. ENJOYYYYYY!!!! :))))

in this episode I reflect back on some of my worst and best moments in life :)))) (mostly worst) as I answer 23 questions for my 23rd year around the sun, so inventive. From discussing my new found love for spicy fantasy books (howling I am mortified) to wearing business casual at 14 to truly revealing far too much of my embarrassing moments. I'm not even gonna say anymore, tune in and just enjoy laughing at me xxxxx
