However you choose to deal with them, remember, feelings are like water...they will find a way out. So before you board up that door to your heart and vow to be celibate forever because people suck, let me walk you through a couple of ways to work through the hurt. So take a deep breath, my friend. You're not alone, and you will survive this. In fact, one day you'll look back and laugh about how you sent 12 consecutive texts ending with "okay, but seriously, one more thing." Until then, here’s your funny yet foolproof guide to mending your poor, broken heart. (PS: if this doesn't work, I think the local nunnery is recruiting). Ste...

From Heartbreak to Comeback: 7 Steps to Move On Like a Boss

The post eating-ice-cream-from-the-tub guide to moving on like a boss.   So you’ve survived the initial storm of heartbreak. You’ve cried enough to refill the ocean, eaten your body weight in ice cream, and sent exactly zero regrettable texts to your ex (or at least, only one - progress, right?). The breakup playlist has been retired, and now you’re sitting there, staring into the void, wondering, What next? Congratulations! You’ve made it to the post-vent stage, the awkward phase where you’re not actively sobbing but also not ready to sign up for a speed-dating event. This is where the real work begins: not just getting over the breakup but truly moving forward. This is where if you're not careful, instead of opening up your heart, you can tie it tight into a knot that prevents love from ever taking bloom again. So to help you avoid that pitfall, here’s how to take your broken heart and turn it into a masterpiece of personal growth, all with a touch of humour to keep things light....

(or your eyeliner).              Let’s be honest: failing sucks. The word alone conjures images of embarrassing work presentations, burnt casseroles, and tripping on stage at your cousin’s wedding. (Yes, Aunt Sheila, we all saw it.) But here’s the thing: failure isn’t the villain it’s cracked up to be. It’s just that annoying friend who points out that your hair’s a little frizzy before a date - annoying, but ultimately helpful. So, if you’re reading this, chances are you’re grappling with some flavour of fear of failure. Maybe you’ve been sitting on a brilliant idea for months because, “What if it flops?” Or you’re avoiding asking for a raise because, “What if they laugh me out of the room?” Don’t worry. I’m here to help you get out of your own way with a splash of humour, some practical steps, and the occasional sassy pep talk. Why Do We Let Fear Run the Show? Fear of failing is sneaky. It wears disguises like “perfectionism,” “procrastination,” ...

Build your armour against the mean girls.              Alright, ladies, let’s talk resilience. Life is tough, and sometimes we just need to roll up our sleeves (or, let’s be real, put on our comfiest sweatshirt) and face the chaos head-on. Whether it’s juggling career, raising kids, or dealing with your never ending to-do list, life throws curveballs at us all the time. But the good news? Resilience is like a muscle - it can be flexed, toned, and glamorously accessorized with grit. Here’s your guide to becoming the strong, unstoppable queen that you know you are. 1.

But when you step outside your own worries and start caring about someone or something else - whether it’s a cause, a community, or your bestie’s new business idea - you unlock a hidden superpowe...
