175 - Birthday depression / crying on my birthday
I spent my birthday bawling my eyes out on Facetime to my Mum. Welcome to my first-ever “Confession Session,” where I’m sharing why my birthday was a complete disaster — from feeling unseen and unsupported by my normally very loving boyfriend to navigating the loneliness of being 12,000km from home. I dive into the classic "it's my birthday, I can cry if I want to" vibes, exploring the psychology and biology behind why birthdays can trigger unexpected waves of emotion, pressure, expectation, and reflection, alongside inner child wounds and feelings of isolation too. If you’ve ever had a birthday that didn’t live up to the Instagram highlight reel, you’re not alone and I share my top 6 ways to make your birthday better, even if you aren’t looking forward to it. 💛

174 - The Psychology of Staying Silent
Do you cringe at the thought of telling your nail technician you hate your nails, or does sending your food back in a restaurant make you break into a cold sweat? Do you speak up when someone does something that makes you feel anything less than amazing, or do you find yourself thinking, “It doesn’t matter” or “I shouldn’t make a fuss”?
In today’s episode, Louise explores the psychology and nervous system foundations behind why some of us stay quiet instead of speaking up. She also discusses the dangers of suppressing our voice and not expressing our truth and why your voice and experiences are one of the most powerful things about you.
Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys. Hit play and let’s get into it.

172 - Steven Smith, Love Is Blind UK
Everyone was talking about Sabrina and Steven, and today, I sit down with Steven, one of my closest friends and the star of Love Is Blind UK. We dive into what it’s really like to have your love life—and heartbreak—put on blast for the world to dissect. Steven opens up about the brutal realities of reality TV, the emotional toll of internet trolls, and the raw truth that men, too, can be left feeling shattered after breakups. He discusses his shock at the reunion, the pain of re-watching himself fall in love on TV, and why he stayed silent while others created their own versions of the story. He shares how he uses daily tools to stay calm, grounded, and mostly anxiety-free—and how he’s evolving, just like everyone else.

169 - Flop Era + Botox/Filler Pressure
Honey, I’m home!
In this episode, I'm catching you up on all my life updates – where I’ve been, why the podcast has been so MIA, and what’s been happening behind the scenes (+ when you can expect us back on a regular schedule!). From 5 weeks living out of a suitcase, major life location decisions, contraction, expansion, questioning if this is my ‘flop era,’ and podcast changes too, I’ve got so much to share. Plus, I dive into my first-ever confidence crisis that caught me off guard and led to the overwhelming pressure I felt to get filler and Botox. This eventually sparked the birth of my newest FREE challenge to help us all navigate through these confidence crises. So, grab your headphones, get outside on your hot girl walk, and get comfy for this chat – I’ve missed you!

168 - Dating: Should Men Pay for Dates?
‘I want him to pay but I also want to be an independent woman’. Relate? Then this episode is for you. Louise sits down with Tom Stroud, one of the breakout stars from Love Is Blind UK. They dive deep into a conversation that got the nation talking—and that goes far deeper than the pair saying ‘no’ at the altar. This episode is for anyone who’s ever questioned traditional relationship roles or found themselves navigating the murky waters of modern dating expectations. You want the man to pay, but you also want to be an independent woman? You want the man to lead but you also love being ambitious and paving your own way?
The pair get into:
Tom's relationship with Maria: a deep dive into the emotional highs and lows that ultimately led them to choose not to marry.
How long should you wait to sleep together?
A discussion around safety and emotional intimacy
Should men always pay on the first date?
Why ambitious women are often labeled as ‘masculine,’ yet still seen as ‘emotional’ or ‘hysterical.’
How the provider role you experienced in childhood influences the provider you become in adulthood.
The impact of childhood financial trauma on adult romantic relationships.
Is it time to challenge rigid gender roles and stereotypes, and have the 'ugly conversations' we’ve been avoiding?
Men who go to therapy (HALLELUJAH!) and more.

167 - Breakdowns lead to Breakthroughs
It’s been a hot minute…. Because I disappeared. And things have been dark AF. Today, I’m opening up about why I disappeared, took an unexpected hiatus from the pod for the first time in 2.5 years and I share about the intense, emotional journey I’ve been on. We’ll rewind to when I was in the best shape of my life—mentally, physically, and spiritually—and how everything took a sudden turn, leading me into adrenal fatigue, burnout, loneliness, and a deep freeze state of depression in my nervous system.
I also chat my best friend being on Love Is Blind, my travel plans and more.
