  Why I've never had a 5 year plan.... 14.06.2026 17min

  Hi, you've got mail from me, Bella 💌 This week, we're talking about something that might sound a little controversial: why I've never had a five-year plan. For as long as I can remember, I've had ideas, dreams, and directions I thought my life might take, but I've never had a detailed roadmap. Instead, I've tried to trust my instincts, stay open to opportunities, and remind myself that future me is allowed to change her mind. In a world that constantly asks us where we see ourselves in five years, it can feel overwhelming if you don't have the answer. So in this episode, I'm sharing why not having everything figured out has actually brought me more freedom, confidence, and unexpected opportunities than any rigid plan ever could. If you're feeling lost, behind, or anxious about where your life is heading, I hope this conversation helps you breathe a little easier.

  Is the 9-5 that...bad? 24.05.2026 19min

  Welcome back to You’ve Got Mail 💌You’ve got mail from me, Bella, and this week we’re talking about the villainisation of the 9–5, the reality of being a content creator, and why I honestly think there are pros and cons to both. In a world where everyone online seems to be chasing freedom, soft mornings, and self-employment, I wanted to have a more honest conversation about work, ambition, stability, burnout, and the pressure to build a “dream life.” We talk about: the less glamorous side of content creation why more freedom doesn’t always mean more happiness the emotional trade-offs of both career paths and learning to build a life that actually works for you As always, this episode feels like a chat with a friend, and I’m so happy you’re here.

  Can long distance relationships actually work? 03.05.2026 18min

  Hi! You’ve got mail from me, Bella 💌 This week, we’re talking all about long-distance relationships. After someone wrote into my Substack advice column asking for help, it reminded me just how hard they can be. I see so many people starting long-distance, and just as many people ending things because of it—but not nearly enough stories about making it through. So, as someone who’s now living with her once long-distance boyfriend, I wanted to bring a bit of honesty and hope into the conversation. We’re getting into what makes long distance so challenging, what actually helps, and whether it’s really worth it. If you’re in one, thinking about one, or healing from one—this episode is for you.

As someone who has sat GCSEs, A-Levels, a degree, and a Master’s, I’ve had my fair share of exams.

  Are You Living… or Just Sticking to the Plan? 05.04.2026 18min

  Are you living your life… or just sticking to the plan? In a world that glorifies routines, productivity, and having everything “figured out,” it’s easy to fall into a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t actually feel good to live. The early mornings, the to-do lists, the habits, the structure, when did they start running you? In this episode, we’re talking about the fine line between discipline and disconnection. Because while routines can support us, they were never meant to replace us. Somewhere along the way, we stop checking in with how we feel and start measuring our lives by how well we stick to the plan. This is your reminder that you’re allowed to live off script. To change your mind. To follow what feels good, even if it doesn’t make sense. To trust yourself again. We’ll explore what it looks like to reconnect with your intuition, let go of rigid expectations, and build a life that feels as good as it looks. Because a life well lived isn’t just one that’s organised, it’s one that’s actually felt. Love,Bella 💌 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  RE: Unlearning Performative Love in Your 20s 23.02.2026 19min

  For years, I used to dread Valentine’s Day. I told myself it was superficial, overhyped, and proof that love shouldn’t be reduced to one day. But looking back, I don’t think I hated the holiday — I think I hated how performative love felt in my early twenties. In this episode, I’m talking about performative romance, social media relationships, and the pressure to express love in ways that look impressive instead of feeling honest. When you’re in your early twenties and still learning how to trust yourself, it’s easy to confuse what love looks like with what love actually feels like. We’ll explore: Why love can feel performative in your 20s The pressure to “prove” your relationship publicly How social media shapes our expectations of romance Why Valentine’s Day isn’t the problem — our understanding of love might be Learning to trust your own definition of love This episode is about emotional maturity, self-trust, and redefining love beyond grand gestures, aesthetics, and expectations. If you’ve ever questioned whether you genuinely feel something — or just feel like you should — this conversation is for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
