Retrogrades be retrograding and it has made me reflect on this year! After coming across a journal prompt, I’ve realisedthat things need to change.
In this “Dear Diary” style episode, I'm reflecting on a year of connections, unexpected lessons and personal growth, and what these experiences have taught me about myself.
From rediscovering my confidence, sensuality and recognising my own patterns around overcompensating, making excuses and catching myself accepting less than what feels right.
I talk about why casual doesn't mean disposable, why emotional safety and consistency matter regardless of relationship labels, and why appreciating a connection doesn't mean you have to keep it.
And, most importantly, I explore what it means to trust yourself, stop chasing connection and recognise when something is no longer aligned with what you want.
And there's something new coming!
I'm introducing The Sunday Read – a new weekly Instagram feature where you can send me those confusing dating messages and conversations for my honestperspective. We'll look at the words, the behaviour, the patterns and what might be happening between the lines.
Because sometimes the clarity we're looking for isn't in another message from him. It's in learning how to recognise what we've already been shown.
