วีดีโอ

Thanks for having me on Michelle! So great to chat with you!

I love Hannah she was the first youtuber i follow and still do .

Trying to think of a supportive way to offer the feedback that I find podcasts hard to follow when guests/hosts are interrupting one another and talking like a normal conversation would flow. Even tho it can feel stuffy when you’re chatting with someone you’re already friends with, giving each question and response more room to breathe/get concluded helps me follow as a non expert who doesn’t have the assumed knowledge/lived experience to fill in gaps. Thanks so much for making this video and letting us in on such a good chat :)

Really exciting episode - new here! super excited to have found your content 🫶🏼

I wonder if the creativity coach Hannah worked with was Jen Carrington.

Girl talks about herself to make it a generality

Great episode. Loved what you said about attention!

We have to get over this stigam of loneliness,its part of the human condition,not to mention there is an epidemic of loneliness and as you say we have a society set up for loneliness and where people hardly talk to neighbours etc. Many many people feel lonely and the shame has got to stop,its made to feel like a personal failure rather than either a natural human experience and also something which is very much a problem with modern day life and our lack of connection and community. There is no shame and we must get better and reaching out,like you say our society is so geared up to coupledom but you know even the best couples can get bored of each others company.I swear all these podcasts and YT channels people have now is to make up for the feeling of loneliness and trying to have the conversations that are not being had in real life. Loneliness has been considered an epidemic by the WHO and is growing issue in many parts of the world as people travel more for work and leave their families of birth etc. One good thing now which I think has increased in recent years are there are more groups for people to meet up with common interests...walking groups,swimming groups....all sorts of groups.In London as well even though it can get lonely at least there are many many things to get involved in...voluntary work is also another good way to meet people and feel useful

I think if you are en expert in relashionships and dating people want to see someone with happy relashionship as sort of proof of their advice working. The same way when you go to hairdresser and look at their hair. If they have demaged or bad hair it makes you think this person lack a judgment to give you right advice.

How can anyone make a heartfelt proposal, just to be a complete garbage bag at the same time?

Cheating and gaslighting is the worst experience I’ve ever experienced in my life. I was lied to and in crazy ways evidence hidden. It took a whole year (and God) for me to heal. But I am still shaken, but much more guarded. I am so grateful you found out before you got married and had a ding moment. Yes I was ashamed too at first, but none of that is true, it IS HIS shame. You are amazing!

lmao, i farted lol, thank you..your my first smile in a month of crying...keep helping and sharing your heart. only special people can actually reach out and brab your soul and be like, HEY..look at me, listen 2me. anyways im talking to much. thank you

hows it going, iv loved to much for 20yrs and have 3kids. the woman i trusted with my life has cheated on me way more then i can even compute. it all seems like a really really bad dream and i wish i would just wake up now. please, im ready to wake up now..😞. my days are on auto pilot and this is the first time iv ever said anything. i have no body to talk to and im just lost. i have 3kids and i dont want to hate my kids mom but i think i may have to in order to let her gooo...

I really enjoy you two talking to each other

In my experience join different groups or start a new hobby then you meet people with similar interests, through mutual friends or be friends with someone first, meet at events, yes it can make things more complicated but means you know you already get on at least

This was great!

Wow! Tom’s story of being catfished was wilddd! 😱 Thank goodness he got out of there. Who knows how that night could’ve ended. 🥶

This is deep. I’m so sorry you had to go through that visceral experience. But thank you for sharing your story and showing how strong you can really be after something so devastating. Xxx

Heartbreak is the worst. It’s such a difficult process. For me it was it was so painful but also it transformed my relationship with myself, for the better. It helped me clarify my non negotiables. I believe it lead me too a partner whom is right for me. What you say about seeing the strength you have in those few months after, resonates with me so much. Definitely not your shame, all his. Thank you for sharing 😘 best wishes 💕💕💕

Sending you so much love ❤️❤️

Gosh Michelle, you had me tearing up towards the end there. Thank you for sharing this. Been a fan for a while, looking forward to more episodes. xxx

You are amazing!❤

You go gurl🎉❤

“it’s not your shame, it’s his.” love that. thankyou for sharing your story. sending u strength and love 🤍

The audacity of cheating on you AND then also being upset with you that you chose to share your engagement news before you were married! Like, if the reason he was upset (and I am not you, I am not him, I have been a third-party observer in all of this and have been following your journey since Scarred Not Scared) is because he knew he'd done you dirty and thought a wedding would solve that, or that by entering a marriage this would translate over to if you did then find out you would stick by him, like, that is M A D. Divorce exists. And also, it's the fact you would have had a wedding day and wedding photos to look back on! Wedding speeches! Memories! Surrounded by your friends and loved ones! A ceremony that would have been about the further pledge of monogamously committing to each other for the rest of your lives -- with your loved ones as witnesses! He would have rather put you through all. of. that. than take accountability for his very real intentions + actions (putting himself on a dating app, booking hotels to sleep with other women). Your heart, I feel for your heart, but in my soul, you are right -- spiritually something was looking out for you and you dodged a whole man-shaped bullet. But oh my heart, three years of trust and love and friendship and milestones and even going so far as to try for a baby together -- none of that body-crushing heartbreak goes away simply for the logic of it. And I am not saying you'd view it the same as I, but I would also emotionally feel like I had been personally robbed three authentic years of my life in terms of a romantic relationship. Not necessarily to find/be with someone else, but energy and time still goes into a relationship even when we have a multifaceted life (friends/career/etc.) Though I admit those feelings would be regressive as the only thing in life that is totally irrecuperable is time, so you either choose to take it as three years worth of evolution or wallow in that time robbery (or whatever nuances lie in between both). But that anger of time robbery, whether I'd experience it or not (using "I" because not claiming you did) would still be - on an emotional level - a valid one. Sorry for the essay, just a lot of thunks and feelings listening to this. 💗

Being able to talk about this so candidly and so soon after your break up is such a flex. Can't wait for more episodes of your pod!
