Ever wondered ‘Why didn’t it work?’ or ‘what’s next for me?’. In this solo episode, Nicole unveils the meaning behind the transformative journey of ‘The Great Lesson’ and why the most intense chemistry is often intended to teach rather than last.

It offers solace and strategies for those tough moments, all the while reaffirming an essential truth: the deepest, most important relationship you can nurture is the one with yourself.

How do you heal after being love-bombed, ghosted, and then taunted with those unexpected DM slides?
Is reaching out to a past love from 2 years ago, who still occupies your thoughts, a step forward or backward?
In the age of TikTok, how do you gauge if your relationship is 'less fun or romantic' compared to what you see online, and should that be a reason to end things with someone you truly love?

Life and Love From the Perspective of a Transgender Woman With Jeraldine Medina-Allum
Navigating life, love, and relationships is hard enough as a woman in this day and age. But just take a second and imagine what it would be like having to juggle all of the above at the same time as feeling like you were born into the wrong body.
This is exactly what Jeraldine Medina-Allum has gone through and continues to experience because the gender she identifies with does not match the sex that she was assigned at birth.
Tune in if ever you have struggled with your identity in any way before, or if ever you've wondered what it's like to be treated like a man compared to a woman, or date a man compared to a woman (as well as who is better in bed according to our special guest).

The Sex Ed You Never Had but Wish You Did With Chantelle Otten
In the Western world, sex is literally everywhere including the magazines we read, the movies we watch, the music we listen to, and the ads we’re subjected to.
And yet, for many of us, we never learned the basics of sex.
On top of this, the stigmas and taboos surrounding female sexuality and pleasure are so pervasive despite major strides to change this. Now, more than ever, we need to promote a dialogue about sex that is inclusive of everyone regardless of their gender, sexual preferences, or orientation.
That is why I talk all things sex in the bonus episode with sexologist Chantelle Otten who is actively using her work to change the narrative and remove stigmas surrounding sex.

How to Balance It All With Ultra Violette Co-Founder Ava Chandler-Matthews
Ava Chandler-Matthews is the Co-Founder of Ultra Violette Sunscreen which not only launched but sold out in under 24 hours back in 2018 and has since been widely credited with “making sunscreen sexy”.
It is no surprise the brand has taken off considering Ava comes from a long history of working in the beauty industry with some of the biggest brands, both locally and abroad, including Napoleon Perdis, Mecca Cosmetica, and Rationale.
It takes a lot to disrupt an entire category and that is exactly what Ava has achieved by creating a new brand of sunscreen with women in mind and dedicated to future-proofing our faces.
So, how did she do it?
Together in this bonus episode ‘How to Balance It All' we discuss:
The expectations and pressures for women working in the beauty industry
How to embrace the body you’re in
What it's like launching and running your own business
How to juggle your love life with a demanding career

How to Date Without Alcohol With Sober Mates Founder Sam Wilson
Alcohol can be a lot of fun. But how do you know when you’ve taken it too far?
Or when you’ve become too dependant on it?
Or what do you do if you want to give it up but everyone around you still gets drunk each and every weekend?
Enter Sober Mates.
Sober Mates is not only a community, it’s an educational platform and a place you can go to explore your drinking habits. It was created for people who want to cut down and learn more about their drinking habits without judgment from others.
It can seem impossible or even intimidating to be single and sober.
And it can seem even harder to quit drinking altogether in Australia when it is so embedded in our culture but Sam Wilson, the Founder of Sober Mates, is here to change that.
Together in this bonus episode, we discuss:
Why drinking and dating are so thoroughly linked
What dating sober is like
Why Australia has one of the most prominent binge drinking cultures in the world
How to navigate social and romantic situations sober

How to “Shake It Off” and Forge Your Own Unique Path in Life Featuring Barbara McNaught
In this season finale episode, we discuss the pressures, and stigmas, surrounding what it means to be a Modern Woman including the expectation to appear “perfect” all the time. We explore why now, more than ever, these pressures are higher for women and the impact they are having on the health and well-being of women in our society. We also talk about the importance of not only knowing how to “shake it off” in life but also embracing our differences and innate individuality recognising that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to “having it all”.
Barbara McNaught is not only a celebrity, but also a philanthropist, with a mission to create awareness and inspire action about issues that most people aren’t brave enough to discuss including mental health, youth health and domestic violence. Her life story, and career as a social game changer, epitomises what it means to be a Modern Woman and I am so excited to have her on this podcast.

How We Can All Put an End to Australia’s Rape Culture Featuring Chanel Contos
This episode is an interview with Chanel Contos, the former Australian private school student who is pioneering a national movement about sexual consent that is stirring explosive discussions worldwide. Chanel is an inspiring Modern Woman who is using her heroic voice to forge a once in a generation curriculum review that will shape our culture for the better.
Together we discuss how this rape culture began, the way in which we all perpetuate it and the sort of narrative shift that is required to put an end to it.
You can keep up to date with the change that Chanel is advocating for by following her on Instagram @chanelc as well as @teachusconsent and teachusconsent.com.
