  What do you do when you know where you want to go, but have no idea how you’re going to get there?In this episode, Tierney opens up about feeling lost, navigating uncertainty and learning to keep moving forward even when your current reality looks nothing like the future you imagined. From leaving Leicester and moving to Dubai to coming home, investing in herself and finding her spark again, this is an honest conversation about figuring it out as you go.----------------------------------------------------------------------ABOUT THE EPISODE 🎙️In this episode of Girls Like Me, I’m joined by Tierney, a professional dancer who has worked internationally and taken huge leaps in pursuit of her career.We explore what it really feels like to be in a season of uncertainty — from graduating dance school and struggling to find your place in the industry, to moving to Dubai, questioning your next move and eventually coming home to reset and invest in yourself again.In this episode, we talk about:– Feeling lost and not knowing what your next step should be– Taking a leap when your current life doesn’t look how you imagined– The reality of building a career in the dance industry and why talent isn’t always enough– Body image, comparison and the pressure to fit industry expectations– Coming home, starting therapy and learning to fill your own cup– Knowing where you’re going even when you don’t know how you’ll get there– Why the next step might be in the work you’ve been avoidingWe also get into some of the very chaotic stories from our time living together, including someone trying to break into the house, a housemate getting shot and why Leicester sometimes genuinely feels like a simulation.This episode is for the girl who knows she wants more from her life but feels unsure about what comes next.If you’ve ever felt lost, questioned whether you’re on the right path, or wondered how you’re supposed to keep going when your current circumstances don’t look anything like the life you’re working towards, this conversation is for you.----------------------------------------------------------------------CONNECT WITH OUR TIERNEY 🎀Instagram: @TIERNEYMAIN_ https://www.instagram.com/tierneymain_/?hl=enTikTok: @TIERNEYMAIN_https://www.tiktok.com/@tierneymain_?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW GIRLS LIKE ME 🎀Instagram: @GIRLSLIKEMEPODCAST_ TikTok: @GIRLSLIKEMEPODCAST_LinkedIn: Aalimah Hughes on LinkedInGirls Like Me is for ambitious women designing their dream lives.---------------------------------------------------------------------- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST 🎙️Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VAyIOzddRn6Vyp82kdOXH?si=MZHxTLfvSliMrtqrwlY84AApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/girls-like-me/id1872116855All platforms: girlslikeme.komi.io---------------------------------------------------------------------- WATCH MORE EPISODES 🎬EPISODE 36 - https://youtu.be/4FbeDKpvWL8EPISODE 35 - https://youtu.be/EgIvFEL0SKEEPISODE 34 - https://youtu.be/MjdqLKojfWY----------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE & JOIN THE GIRLS 🎀If you enjoyed this episode, like, comment and subscribe, and let us know what you’re taking away from the conversation.New conversations with ambitious women, every week.Girls Like Me — for ambitious women designing their dream lives!

  Why We Repeat the Same Patterns & How to Break Them | Tasha Bailey | EP. 36 | Girls Like Me 16.09.2026 56min

  Why We Repeat the Same Patterns & How to Break ThemHave you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why am I doing this again?"Choosing the same type of person. Overthinking the same situation. Struggling to set a boundary you know you need to set. Feeling confident on the outside while secretly questioning whether you’re good enough. Knowing you want more for yourself, but somehow finding yourself stuck in the same cycles.In this episode, I’m joined by therapist and author Tasha Bailey to unpack the psychology behind why we repeat patterns, where they come from and, most importantly, what we can actually do to change them.This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about understanding yourself better, recognising the patterns that might be holding you back and learning how to build a healthier relationship with yourself.ABOUT THE EPISODE 🎙️In this episode of Girls Like Me, I’m joined by Tasha Bailey, therapist, author and mental health advocate.We talk about the parts of becoming the woman you want to be that nobody really prepares you for — your relationship with yourself, your confidence, your boundaries, your friendships, your relationships and the patterns you carry with you.In this episode, we talk about:– Why we repeat the same patterns, even when we know they aren’t serving us– Why you can look confident and successful while still struggling with self-worth– The difference between confidence and self-esteem– People pleasing, perfectionism and why they can be so difficult to unlearn– How to set boundaries without constantly feeling guilty– Why we sometimes ignore red flags or find ourselves in familiar relationship patterns– What it really means to take up space and stop making yourself smaller– How to change the way you speak to yourself and your internal dialogue– What being “triggered” actually means and how to understand what is happening underneath the reaction– What healing actually looks like, and why therapy isn’t only for when something is “wrong”– Practical tools and exercises you can start using in your own lifeThis episode is for the girl who is self-aware enough to know she has patterns, but wants to understand why they keep happening.For the girl navigating her 20s or 30s, figuring out her career, relationships, friendships, confidence and the woman she is becoming.If you’ve ever thought “I know better, so why do I keep doing this?”, this conversation is for you.CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST 🎀Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realtalk.therapist/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realtalk.therapist?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcWebsite: https://www.realtalktherapist.co.uk/ FOLLOW GIRLS LIKE ME 🎀Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlslikemepodcast_/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlslikemepodcast_?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcAll links : girlslikeme.komi.io LISTEN TO THE PODCAST 🎙️Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VAyIOzddRn6Vyp82kdOXH?si=MZHxTLfvSliMrtqrwlY84A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/girls-like-me/id1872116855All platforms: girlslikeme.komi.io WATCH MORE EPISODES 🎬EPISODE 35 TEJA RENEE - https://youtu.be/EgIvFEL0SKEEPISODE 34 TANYKA DAVSON - https://youtu.be/MjdqLKojfWYEPISODE 33 CHANTELLE - https://youtu.be/-ckK5-0AKEkSUBSCRIBE & JOIN THE GIRLS 🎀If this episode makes you think of a pattern you’re ready to break, watch, subscribe and let us know in the comments: what’s one thing you’re learning about yourself right now?New conversations with ambitious women, every week.Girls Like Me — for ambitious women designing their dream lives!
