If you or someone you love vapes, you know how addictive it can be.
This week’s episode isn’t another “you should quit because it’s bad for you” lecture… I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve felt the judgment, the guilt, and the helplessness that comes with trying to quit, even when I desperately wanted to stop.
So today I’m sharing my raw, unfiltered journey, from my first cigarette in high school to flipping my couch over in a fit of rage because I couldn’t find my vape.
This is about real experiences, relapses, and the surprising methods that finally helped me break free.
In this episode, I share…
The scariest part of making the decision to quit + why it’s harder than people think
Why I started vaping after quitting cigarettes + how addiction sneaks back in
The Glovebox Method: A hack I came up with that helped me quit vaping for good!
Whether you’re thinking about quitting, struggling with cravings, or just curious about what it really takes, this episode is for you. No sugar-coating, no perfect “success story”—just the messy, human reality of addiction and recovery. You’re not alone, and you can take back control.

I Was a Total Skeptic until I Realised I Could Talk to the Dead…” Life Before Mediumship with David the Medium
What happens when a lawyer discovers he’s actually meant to talk to dead people?
Meet David the Medium, Australia’s most loved psychic and spiritual guide but forget everything you thought you knew about mediums…
In 2019, David changed my life when he gave me the opportunity to connect with my father, who crossed over when I was younger. While he’s done plenty of podcasts about Mediumship and the spiritual world, I wanted to take a different approach.
So today we’re exploring the man behind the gift and uncovering his life before becoming a medium. Plus the surprising moment he realised he could talk to the other side.
You’ll hear:
Why David didn’t believe in mediums until he accidentally became one
The reading that proved David had a gift… and it left him speechless
“They saw me as a threat” - the toxic industry rivals David faced when he first started
The biggest myths about psychics (like do you have to be born with it?)
David’s predictions for 2025… You’re not ready for this…

Before diving into today’s episode, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU so much for all the incredible support you’ve shown since launching this podcast.

How I Stopped Chasing Acceptance
A big part of why I started this podcast was to set myself free from who I was pretending to be online and start showing up as my authentic self.
In this episode, we dive into how our need for acceptance can sometimes pull us away from our true selves. From the pressures we face growing up to the societal norms we absorb, I’ll share my personal experiences and thoughts on how these influences shape us—and why breaking free from them is so powerful.
I’ll also share some practical tips that have worked for me when it comes to rediscovering and embracing who you truly are. We’ll explore:
• Building confidence in your authentic self
• Setting and maintaining boundaries
• Staying aligned with your values
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about changing for others. It’s about being unapologetically you and finding your people. The world doesn’t need another carbon copy—it needs you, exactly as you are. You’re here for a reason, and it’s time to tap into that unique, special power.
I’m not a therapist or a coach—just someone sharing what’s helped me on my journey in the hopes it might help you too.

US Visa Horror Story
This is a story I’ve been holding onto for years, mainly because I legally couldn’t talk about it… until now.
It’s not something I’m proud of, but at the time, I completely lied on social media about what was really happening. Now, in true Emotional Content style, it’s time to finally set the record straight.
Whenever I mention that I used to live in the US, people are always curious about the visa process. So in this episode, I’m sharing some of the absolute do’s and DON’Ts when it comes to navigating visas—because trust me, I’ve learned the hard way.
Oh, and did I mention the part where I got arrested, blacklisted, and that’s still just scratching the surface? Yeah, it’s a wild ride.
