Toni Tone on Soft Life: What It Really Means & How to Build It

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 55:36

You've heard the term Soft Life, but what does it really mean when strip away the IG aesthetics?

In this episode, we're joined by the one and only Toni Tone - podcaster, bestselling author, and one of our generation's wisest women - as we dive deep into the philosophy of the soft life.

People may have hijacked the term to mean Pilates at 11 on a weekday, sugar baby culture, or kicking back and doing nothing, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

This powerful philosophy is about rejecting self-sacrifice in favour a life that puts your wellbeing at the centre... but how do you do that when, as women, we're constantly being asked to give more and more?

Toni takes us through:

✨ What a soft life actually is, and why it's so powerful

✨ Why soft living requires firm boundaries

✨ How this philosophy shows up in relationships, career, money, and more

✨ How to identify where we might be abandoning ourselves to meet other people's expectations

If you're tired of the hard graft but still want to pursue your own dreams, grab a notepad - you're going to want to lock in for this one.

What If You’re Not Meant for the 9–5? - with Rachel Kitcat

Saison 4 · Épisode 8

mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 51:46

What if you’re actually not made for the 9–5?

If you sometimes sit at a desk for 9 hours straight and start to feel like your body wants to wiggle out of your skin, then girl, I have been there.

We were sold the dream of finding a career which is our purpose, climbing the ladder to the very top and smashing a few glass ceilings on our way. But more and more of us now, in our 30s, are looking around and thinking, wait... this kind of sucks?

In this episode, I’m joined by Rachel, who, with pure optimism and a refusal to keep slogging away at a life she didn’t want, quit her 9–5 to start her own one-person social media agency. She's just made the leap and is here to give us the hot take.

In this episode, we get into:

✨ That creeping feeling that the career you chose is not giving you the life you want

✨ How to mitigate the risk of the big quit

✨ What actually happens when you make the leap

✨ A realistic picture of quitting your 9–5 (not the shiny IG version)

✨ Things to consider before you sack in the day job

When I read that 66% of adults are considering starting a business/side hustle, it made me realise just how big the gap is between how we want to fill our working days vs what we’re actually doing. So let’s talk about it.

Do You Actually Want It - or Were You Taught to Want It?

Saison 3 · Épisode 7

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 21:04

What if the reason you're stuck isn't confusion, it's that the life you want feels socially unacceptable?

We all grew up with society handing us a script for what a "good life" should look like: the love story, the career, the milestones, the version of womanhood that makes sense to everyone else. But what happens when you look at that script and realise... I don't actually know if I want it? And who will I be if I don't?

When desire collides with identity, every decisions starts to feel huge.

This episode explores why what we took in as kinds, might have a lot to answer for in our thirties.

We're getting into:

✨ Why the real struggle is sometimes not knowing what you want, but admitting it ✨ Why some choices feel so morally loaded

✨ Why we judge ourselves so hard for our own desires

✨ How you can know what would make you happier and still struggle to let yourself want it

✨ Practical tips to shut down the noise of the scripts we're told to read

The pressure to choose is loud, and so many of us feel torn between the life that look good on paper and the life that feels right in our bodies. So let's talk it over.

How do you make the huge, meltdown-inducing decisions of your 30s - and is there ever really a "right" answer?

In our first ever Decision Clinic, I'm joined by Jemma Sbeg, host of The Psychology of Your 20s - one of the biggest psychology podcasts out there - to get into real listeners messy, emotionally loaded questions that I'm pretty sure we're all going through right now.

✨ The sadly all-too relatable question of how to handle someone you know being pulled into online conspiracy content

✨ That giant wtf or whether to stay child-free or have a baby

✨ Whether to stay in a long-term relationship with no intimacy

✨ And more big life decisions, relationship doubts, and identity crossroads

I’d Rather Be Single Than Settle – Dating in Your 30s with Sophie Milner

Saison 3 · Épisode 3

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 59:57

Date, get married, have a kid, live happily ever after - that’s what we were sold, right?

Well, the dating pool is looking kind of swampy, women are more self‑sufficient and self‑funded than ever before and actually… not everyone wants kids.

Cher said “Mom, I am a rich man” and influencer and internet personality Sophie Milner stepped up to it.

Sophie is known for her hot dating takes, big girls’ girl energy and being everyone’s gym crush, whilst having zero interest in being in a relationship. Sucks for them, huh.

In this episode we get into:

✨ The reality that men now have to compete with female happiness and independence to win us over

✨ How the manosphere and “body count” obsession are influencing modern dating

✨ Attachment styles, real chemistry, and relationship patterns in your 30s

✨ Why Sophie would rather be single than ever settle for less than she wants

This episode is like a wine‑fuelled chat between two of your far‑too‑honest friends.

If you’re dating in your 30s, wondering whether to settle or stay single, you’re going to love it.

We get into:

✨ What psychology says about sticking around when the vibes aren't sticking (sunk cost, fear of change)

✨ The ins and outs of sunk cost fallacy

✨ How to know when you've invested too much vs when you've not invested enough

Facing My Trauma Through Psychedelics - with Daniel O'Shaughnessy

Saison 3 · Épisode 3

mardi 14 juillet 2026 • Durée 54:07

What if one radical choice to heal rewired your life completely?

Joining me this week is nutritionist, author and functional medicine practitioner Daniel O'Shaughnessy. Daniel has been doing something which many of us might have curiously come across, but haven't pulled the plug to try. He has been expanding his healing approach to include psychedelics and plant medicine.

Daniel grew up overcoming bullying, and as a surviver of childhood sexual abuse. As an adult, deep-rooted feelings of shame seeped out through steroid use, partying and an unhealthy pursuit of "perfection" fulled by the competitiveness of the queer scene.

At breaking point, he made a decision that changed everything – to face trauma head‑on through psychedelics.

We get into:

✨ Body dysmorphia and shame in the gay community

✨ Anabolic steroids, partying and the pressure to look “perfect”

✨ When talking therapy hits its limits for chronic overthinkers

✨ How psychedelics and plant medicine became a portal in his healing

✨ The realities of using psychedelics for trauma, not just a “quick fix”

This is a story of deciding to step into discomfort, of choosing to move toward healing rather than more destruction and using every tool available to change deep rooted issues.

My Healthiest Love Ever Is An Age Gap Marriage - with Jackie Adedeji

Saison 3 · Épisode 2

mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 51:41

What if being ‘too much’ was never the problem - you were just with people who couldn’t hold you?

This week I’m joined by the stunning, vivacious and straight‑up hilarious Jackie Adedeji– the broadcaster and girls’ girl from Instagram known for her unapologetic empowerment and gentle roasting of her “older middle‑class white man” husband.

We talk about the one decision in her twenties that changed everything in her thirties: starting therapy. Not as a quick fix, but as the slow, uncomfortable work that reshaped her self‑worth just enough that when she met her husband, she was able to give him a chance at something serious.

This is about the complexity of how self-esteem might show up and a story to decide to follow love even when it shows up in a package you did not expect to find.

We get into...

✨ Feeling publicly confident but privately feeling shame that she was "too much"

✨ The truth of therapy as a turning point – and not a quick fix

✨ Ditching dating and situationships for a deep sense of self‑respect

✨ The honest dynamics of an age-gap relationship which people often want to shy away from

✨ What it's like to be living with the knowledge you'll likely end up a window much earlier than most

If your on the brink of booking that therapy sesh, or maybe love just showed up in a package you did not expect and your nervous, then girl, TAP IN.

We’re In Decision Season (Where the Hard Choice Makes Life Easier)

Saison 3 · Épisode 1

mardi 30 juin 2026 • Durée 36:45

Welcome to Decision Season dramatic music plays

I joke, this won't be scary, I promise.

This season we dig into the choices that have shaped us so far, the ones we still wonder if we got right, and the ones we’re wrestling with right now.

In this episode, I’m getting into a truth we all know but might be avoiding: the decisions are coming thick and fast in our thirties. It feels daunting, it can feel intense, and we often judge ourselves for not knowing it all yet.

We cover career, kids, where to live, and what to do when you’re overwhelmed by too many options. It might feel safer to shove this to the back of our minds, but whilst we’re not running out of time, time is moving.

So what would happen if we stopped fearing the decisions and started embracing the relief that comes with making them?

In this episode I get into:

✨ Why we need to sound the alarm on the big decisions of our thirties

✨ The sneaky illusion of “keeping our options open”

✨ How deciding which doors to close can actually set life in motion

✨ Why decisions aren’t dead ends, they’re next steps

✨ A simple exercise to help you find more clarity

If we choose to face the question marks actively, we might just create the best decade yet, so let’s get into it.

An Honest Report Back From the Baby Bubble

Saison 2 · Épisode 10

mardi 16 juin 2026 • Durée 46:16

"I love you, but I'm exhausted" is a line that's been whispered at 2am, 2pm, 10pm, and every hour in between to our big blue-eyed, five-month-old baby.

Last time we caught up on baby life, I was three weeks postpartum and riffing mainly on the birth. Now, we're nearly five months in and emerging from the haze of the tiny baby stage. A new shape of me, my life, and my identity is starting to form, so it's time for an honest catch-up.

In this episode, I'm sharing a real, unfiltered debrief of the first five months of motherhood as a first-time mum, including:

✨ How I ACTUALLY feel now we're five months postpartum

✨ The things that have surprised me most about becoming a mum

✨ The many contradictions of motherhood and the postpartum experience

✨ What it's like to experience matrescence and a rewired "mum brain"

✨ The weird intrusive thoughts no one talks about

✨ Why motherhood is making me want to be vegan again (I know... odd connection, right?)

If you're contemplating starting a family, already in the thick of new motherhood, navigating the newborn phase, or simply want to understand someone you care about who's going through it, this one's for you.
