Breakups are one of the most psychologically stressful life events we can experience.

Neuroimaging studies show that when we go through heartbreak, the same pain centers in the brain that respond to physical pain are activated, particularly the anterior cingulate cortex.

That’s why it doesn’t just feel emotional, it literally hurts.

Now, for someone with Borderline Personality Disorder that pain can feel magnified.

BPD is characterized by emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and a fragile sense of self. When someone with BPD goes through a breakup, it’s not just the loss of a partner, it can feel like the loss of identity, safety, and purpose.

Did you know that in Australia, athletes are at a higher risk of developing disordered eating? In fact, research shows that depending on the sport and level of competition, anywhere from 0 to 19% of male athletes, and 6 to 45% of female athletes, may experience disordered eating or an eating disorder. These numbers are not small—and they remind us that behind the strength, discipline, and performance we admire, many athletes are silently struggling.

When we think of toxic relationships, we usually think about other people. But here’s the question I want to ask you today: Are you in a toxic relationship with yourself?

Because if you’re constantly criticising yourself, ignoring your needs, and treating your body like an enemy… that’s not self-care. That’s self-sabotage.

“Every year, alcohol is responsible for more than 3 million deaths worldwide - that’s one person every 10 seconds.

Yet, for many, it starts innocently: a glass of wine after work, a drink to take the edge off, until one day it’s not a choice anymore… it’s a need.”

@What does the journey into alcoholism often look like, how does it sneak up on people?

@What were the warning signs in your own story?

@Why is it so hard for people to admit they have a problem?

@What actually helps someone recover and what doesn’t?

@For those who love someone struggling with alcohol when should they step in, and how can they help without enabling?

In this episode, Stephanie breaks down a recent Tik Tok comment:

“It’s a hormone issue - you have to stay on GLP-1s forever.”

With millions of people using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, it’s no surprise that many are wondering what really happens when you come off. Stephanie explores the science, the psychology, and the truth behind long-term GLP-1 use - including why most people can’t (and shouldn’t have to) stay on them for life.

You’ll learn:

How GLP-1s work in the body and brain

What clinical studies show about weight regain after stopping

Why “hormones only” is an oversimplification

How to manage appetite, mood, and mindset when coming off

Evidence-based strategies to support your mental health and eating patterns post-GLP-1

If you’re on a GLP-1, considering one, or transitioning off and struggling with hunger or emotional eating - this episode will help you understand your body and brain without guilt or fear.
