You guys always tell me you love a good story time, and today, I’ve got one that still makes my skin crawl!!

I’m pulling back the curtain on what really went down behind the scenes in the glamour modelling world – exposing seedy photographers, how I landed my first cover, and a story I’ve never shared before… one that could have completely changed my life if things had played out differently.

So grab your matcha (or a spicy marg), get comfy, and buckle up – because this one is straight out of a fever dream.

Hey my loves — yes, I’m still on a break, working hard to get the pod back in your ears ASAP. But while I do, I had to bring back this conversation — one of my favourite guest episodes to date. There’s so much to take away from this deeply personal chat, and I hope you love it as much as I do. 💗

Joining me today is one of the strongest women I know… my best friend, Keneshia.

Keneshia gets brutally honest about her life with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the chaos that came with it.

From being bullied so badly she had to leave school, to navigating toxic relationships, sex work, and eventually rebuilding both herself and her business from the ground up — her story is one you need to hear.

In this episode you’ll hear:

•What living with BPD really feels like (the highs AND the lows)

•How bullying pushed Keneshia to her breaking point, and why leaving school saved her life

•Why she was engaged at 17 and almost a divorcee before 19

•What happened when she went cold turkey on all her meds

•Her advice for breaking free from toxic cycles and rebuilding your life 💕

Getting diagnosed as an adult changed everything for me, but it also hit hard. Nobody really talks about the grief you go through when you realise how different life could have been if someone had just noticed earlier.

In this episode, I talk about the teachers who failed me, the time I got my license suspended and my car impounded (lol), and the GP who bluntly told me I “definitely had ADHD” in the most hostile way possible. I also share how my cycle makes my symptoms 10x worse during my period and what I’ve learned to do about it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating ADHD on your own, or you’re wondering if this might be what you’re dealing with too, I hope this episode gives you some clarity and connection.

I’ll also share how I finally got diagnosed, and the handy little hack that saved me months of waiting!

This was a story I never told in full – not to my family, and not even to the friends who know parts of it. But in this episode, I decided it was time to put everything on the table (and believe me it wasn’t easy to do at the time)

If you’ve been following Emotional Content from the beginning, you’ll know the mission here is to create a space where people feel safe to share their raw, unfiltered truths. For that to happen, I had to lead by example.

So today, I’m diving back into a chapter of my life I once never thought I’d share – a time that shaped me deeply and left me with emotions I didn’t expect. I won’t give too much away, but I talk about how I ended up in sex work, why I kept it secret, and the moment I knew I had to stop.

It’s real, it’s vulnerable, and it might surprise you as much as it surprised me.

Big love and deep respect to all sex workers – this line of work isn’t easy, and I hope my story can shed light on both the risks and the realities that are rarely talked about.

Yep… we’re going there today, queens.

After years of lying about my size with Facetune and hiding behind story filters just to feel okay posting online, I became so dysmorphic that I truly started to hate myself.

From starving myself to fit in, to binge eating through heartbreak, to witnessing full-blown eating disorders and almost going down that path myself, this is what it was actually like behind the curated posts you see online.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• How I was told to lose weight at a size 6

• The disordered ways I would prep for photo shoots

• The lies myself and so many influencers told using Facetune

• My thoughts on fitspo creators with zero transparency

• How gut health, trauma and stress were keeping my body stuck no matter what I did

If you’ve ever struggled with your body or felt the pressure to shrink to be accepted, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, and that your worth was never meant to be measured in numbers.

It’s raw, messy, and full of the stories I used to laugh off, but deep down they were covering so much more. Alcohol was wrecking my confidence, fuelling my anxiety, and making my ADHD symptoms worse... I didn’t even realise how bad it had gotten.

From cuddling a goon bag to drinking vodka straight from bed at 10am, this episode is filled with wild moments, regret, and the turning point that made me stop.

If you’ve ever questioned your own drinking or used alcohol to escape, I hope this one makes you feel seen.

You’ll hear:

•Why I once woke up cuddling a goon bag

•The time I was dragged by my hair and thrown down the stairs in a club

•How I accidentally spent $$$$ at a strip club in a blackout

•Why I was drinking vodka straight from my bed at 10am

•How alcohol was making my ADHD and anxiety SO much worse

Hi my loves! While I’m on a short break, I’m replaying one of the most vulnerable episodes I’ve ever recorded and where Emotional Content all started — by sharing my plastic surgery nightmare. Prior to this, it was a story I had never shared publicly before.

When I went to get my first breast augmentation and rhinoplasty, I never could have imagined the nightmare that was about to unfold. I went to great lengths to hide this chapter of my life, carefully planning pre-recorded content and trips to keep it buried... Looking back it's wild!

If you’re considering plastic surgery, I urge you to listen to this episode. Since releasing it, it’s helped so many of you make a more informed decision, and I hope by reposting it, it can reach even more of you.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• What drove me to get surgery in the first place

• Every cosmetic procedure I’ve had

• How much I’ve spent (including all the revisions)

• The critical questions I didn’t ask and the mistakes I made

• The red flags to watch for if you’re considering surgery

So, strap in queen, and let’s revisit this story together! <3

After 39 episodes of showing up week after week, something had to shift. Today, I open up about where I’m at, what’s been happening behind the scenes, why I’ve had to make this difficult decision and sharing something I haven’t told anyone yet...

If you’ve ever poured your full self into something you love to the point where it starts costing more than it gives, this one might resonate.

Thank you for holding space for me. This podcast has never been just a show. It’s been a movement, a mirror, and my heart in audio form.

In the meantime, I’ll be reposting some of my favourite past episodes. And if Emotional Content has ever meant something to you, now’s the perfect time to share it with someone who might need it.

And my Perth babes - please keep an eye on my socials for something very exciting coming soon as well <3

I’m forever grateful for this community and appreciate your support more than you know.

I’ll see you soon, bigger, better, and more aligned.

Lots of love, AJ xx

Inspired by a powerful listener submission, we’re diving deep into what it means to lead with your sexuality - not from empowerment, but from a place of low self-worth.

I’ve been there too. For years, I believed my body was my best offering, that being sexy, and performative in bed would make me lovable. But it only left me feeling hollow.

In this raw and honest chat, we explore:

• Why so many women fall into performative sexuality
• The difference between being wanted and being seen
• How toxic relationships skew our sense of self-worth
• The ‘Cool Girl’ trap and how it keeps us small
• And how to build a healthy, empowered relationship with sex again
• 
  

Whether you’ve ever felt like a human sex doll, struggled with feeling like sex is all you have to offer, or just want to feel more like yourself again - this one’s for you queen!

So, let’s talk about it, all of it, judgment free as always! Xx

In this episode, I break down both the obvious and not so obvious red flags that show up in relationships. From unpacking the toxic love at first sight narrative to subtle emotional manipulation, from pedestal-placing to that sneaky “you’re too sensitive” line, nothing is off limits!

Even the glaring red flags don’t feel so obvious when you’re in deep, especially during the intense honeymoon phase, when you feel loved, needed, or like you’ve finally found “your person.” That’s why I wanted to bring all of this into one place. To give you some perspective, share some raw stories, and help hopefully you catch things before they become heartbreak!

Remember my loves this is a judgement-free zone and yes, I’ve made almost every mistake I talk about. But that’s the point - hopefully you can save yourselves and learn from my major f*ck ups :)

No shame here queens, we all have to learn somehow right?

From driving in cars, getting drunk with older men as teens to understanding the full picture as an adult. I’m unpacking how these relationships really impact our self-worth, the way we excuse red flags, and why it’s so important we start talking about this without shame or judgment.

This episode was inspired by a listener's story submission about her 19-year-old self and much older situationship, breaking down what’s romantic, what’s manipulative, and how to tell the difference.

We’ll also touch on a double standard that’s often ignored: female predators and young male victims. Something I wish more people would talk about.

If you’re younger and in a relationship with a big age gap or looking back at one from your past this episode might hit home…But I hope it brings clarity, validation, and a little more protection for the next generation of chicks!

If you’ve ever experienced bullying, you know how cruel and devastating it can be, and how deep those scars can run, even years later.

In this week’s episode, I’m opening up about some of my most raw and vulnerable moments – stories I’ve never shared publicly and that even some of my closest friends don’t know. From the horrible things said to me growing up to the intense trolling I’ve faced online as an adult, I’m taking you through it all!

I also break down the latest developments shaking up the online world: the legal action that’s unmasking anonymous trolls on the infamous website Tattle, and how influencer Indy Clinton hired a private investigator to expose 64 of her bullies.

Could 2025 finally be the year online harassment gets held accountable? Let’s talk about it.

Today’s episode is a heavy one. I’m taking you behind the scenes of what was really going on in my life before turning 30: why I hit rock bottom, my darkest thoughts, the fear of ageing, my mum's accident, substance abuse and how I rebuilt myself back together… slowly, brick by brick.

This episode wasn’t easy to record. It’s raw. It’s brutally honest. But I’m hoping that by putting it out there, it helps someone who needs it.

You might need some tissues for this one. I know I did. <3

Look, I get it we all love to tell stories about how we’ve been wronged. But have you ever noticed how influencers only seem to take accountability when they’re being cancelled?

Well, I’m not under threat of cancellation (for now lol), so I figured… why not? Let’s get brutally honest about my own bad behaviour.

In this episode, I open up about how I’ve shown up badly in past relationships, friendships, and even my career. I’m also sharing what I should’ve done differently in one of my more public friendships, the time I blamed literally everyone when I lost my vape, and some of the shady things influencers do that you may or may not have picked up on.

Here’s to messy growth! Please don’t judge me after this one 😂 ILY xx

Today we’re unpacking your wildest stories & real life situations where I give you my best big sister advice.

Today’s stories include a woman who tried to steal another wife’s entire life (and her husband), a serial cheater whose therapist blames it on their neurodivergence (this had me shook), a boyfriend who lied about having herpes, a married woman questioning her sexuality, and the age old debate: how long is too long to be waiting on a proposal?

To put it simply, we’re diving balls deep into the bad behaviour of men… shock horror lol.

So, snuggle up in your oversized hoodie or throw me in your ears on your morning walk because this week’s episode’s a rollercoaster!

I’m unpacking all of my thoughts, fears, and full-blown spirals around having kids. 

Well, one kid. In my late 30’s because I seriously doubt I’ll be having a second. And that’s if I can even have one of my own?! ahhhhh.

From never wanting children, the history with past boyfriends, how losing my dad so young shaped everything, to the argument Frank and I had about kids when we first got together and now this damn biological clock I swear just started ticking out of nowhere!

Maybe this will resonate with you or you’ll think I’m insane, either way I’m opening up about all of it lol

In today’s episode, I’m giving you a life update & completely raw-dogging the questions you sent in because why not?

From missed opportunities with celebs, the worst influencers I’ve ever met, the relationship I kept a secret, how much I was offered to go on an influencer Dubai trip, the biggest regret in my career, and so much more.

These honestly had to be some of the best questions you’ve ever sent in, and I made sure to be as transparent as possible (without incriminating myself lol).

In today’s episode, I’m starting the multi episode discussion on how I broke into one of the most male-dominated music scenes in the country. And believe me, it wasn’t easy lol.

From being a heavily stereotyped bikini model in a DV relationship with a DJ, to getting laughed at by major artists, to driving my second-hand decks across the country in a hired car… This is the real story behind how I went from influencer to heavy bass DJ in Australia.

I talk about being rejected by agencies because of my ex, covering up my body just to be taken seriously, and why the industry never wanted someone like me to succeed in the first place.

If you’ve ever been told you’re not good enough, your idea would never work or felt like an outsider in a boys’ club, this one’s for you bby!! <3

I’m finally opening up about the very real body image struggles and disordered behaviours I’ve experienced around my weight since being in this industry.

After years of lying about my size with Facetune and hiding behind story filters just to post online, I became so dysmorphic that I started to truly hate myself.

From starving myself to fit in, to binge eating through heartbreak, to witnessing full-blown eating disorders and considering doing the same.. This is what it was actually like behind the curated posts you see online.

In this episode, I’m talking about the time a man in the UK used my identity to catfish and emotionally manipulate young women. 

If you thought that was bad… it gets worse.

Not only was he pretending to be me, he even went as far as to try and meet up with young girls.

And one day, he did.

This isn’t just a wild internet story, it’s a disturbing example of how easily women’s identities can be stolen, twisted, and weaponised on social media. 

PLUS, I’ve got an update I think you’ll find very interesting. Tune in to find out what happened just after I went public about my ex and his ex-girlfriend who tried to ruin my life.

This episode is dedicated to women everywhere, with the rising rates of violence against women in Australia heavy on my heart. I’m sharing these stories not to scare, but to empower – with real life, potentially life saving safety tips, tools, and hard truths.

I also want to take a moment to stand in solidarity with the brave women speaking out against the Paul family — with Atis Paul previously found guilty of serious charges, and now facing new allegations of abuse. I see you. I believe you. I stand with you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Some of the most terrifying moments I’ve experienced
• Why you should never follow the same route home… Even if you think you’re low-key online
• What to do if you’re ever being followed
• The tools I carry and use to keep myself safe
• The trick I use to make it look like someone’s waiting for me when I’m walking alone

Queen, I have been there too so today we are unpacking everything.

From conditioning myself to only orgasm with a vibrator (and how I stopped being reliant on it!), the time I was told I was sh*t in bed by a man wearing just a t-shirt, the biggest icks you guys sent me (I was screaming reading these) and what life is like with a man that puts your pleasure FIRST – if any episode was TMI it’s this one.

You’ll hear:

• Why I once woke up cuddling a goon bag
• ​​The time I was dragged by my hair and thrown down the stairs in a club

And after sharing my own story, I knew I had to bring it back.

In today’s episode, I’m reading through 5x stories that were shared anonymously and you wouldn’t believe how relatable (or wild) they are.

Today’s stories include when a woman found out she was the other woman… then teamed up with the wife to expose him, a mum navigating a relationship with her husband who loses sexual attraction once he feels emotionally connected and SO much more.

Joining me on today’s show is one of the strongest women I know… my best friend Keneshia. 

Keneshia is here to get brutally honest about her life with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the chaos it brought with it.

From being bullied so badly she had to leave school, to navigating toxic relationships, sex work, and eventually rebuilding herself AND her business from scratch… hers is a story you HAVE to hear.

In this episode you’ll find out:

• What living with BPD really feels like (the highs AND the lows)
• ​​How bullying pushed Keneshia to her breaking point + why leaving school saved her life
• Why she was engaged at 17 and almost a divorcee before 19
• What happened when she went cold turkey on ALL her meds
• Her advice for anyone struggling to break free from toxic cycles + rebuilding your life 💕

Getting diagnosed as an adult was a game changer for me but it also hit hard.

Nobody talks about the grief you go through when you realise how different life could have been if someone had just noticed.

I’m talking about the teachers who failed me, when I got my license suspended and car impounded (lol) and the GP who told me “I definitely had ADHD” in the most hostile way possible.

Plus why my period basically turns my symptoms into a chaotic mess (and how I manage it).

So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating this ADHD by yourself or you’re wondering if it might be what you’re dealing with, this one’s for you. I’ll break down how I finally got diagnosed (and a sneaky hack that saved me months of waiting).

Every single message I’ve received since releasing the first part of this story has been utter disbelief.

Some of you remember just how insane this time was, and others can’t believe it even happened.

But if you thought last week’s episode was bad… it only got worse.

She manipulated my follower's vulnerability, falsely accused me of hacking her account, and did something so outrageous that it forced me to go to the police—you won’t believe how far this went.

This is the story of why I went offline and stopped posting.

What I experienced was nothing short of horrific: relentless harassment, stalking, and someone going to extreme lengths to imitate me, steal my business, and try to destroy my life. To this day, I can’t comprehend how anyone could be so malicious and obsessed.

This is a raw, unfiltered look into one of the darkest periods of my life—and the story isn’t over yet.

And it's not something I’ve felt comfortable talking about until now. 

I made this relationship look so different online to what was really going on behind closed doors and I really wanted to record this as a reminder that if you’re sitting here comparing your own relationship to others online and they’re making you feel like shit … the truth might be completely different to what you think.

This week’s episode isn’t another “you should quit because it’s bad for you” lecture… I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve felt the judgment, the guilt, and the helplessness that comes with trying to quit, even when I desperately wanted to stop.

So today I’m sharing my raw, unfiltered journey, from my first cigarette in high school to flipping my couch over in a fit of rage because I couldn’t find my vape. 

This is about real experiences, relapses, and the surprising methods that finally helped me break free.

In this episode, I share…

• The scariest part of making the decision to quit + why it’s harder than people think
• Why I started vaping after quitting cigarettes + how addiction sneaks back in
• The Glovebox Method: A hack I came up with that helped me quit vaping for good!

Whether you’re thinking about quitting, struggling with cravings, or just curious about what it really takes, this episode is for you. No sugar-coating, no perfect “success story”—just the messy, human reality of addiction and recovery. You’re not alone, and you can take back control.

Meet David the Medium, Australia’s most loved psychic and spiritual guide but forget everything you thought you knew about mediums…

In 2019, David changed my life when he gave me the opportunity to connect with my father, who crossed over when I was younger. While he’s done plenty of podcasts about Mediumship and the spiritual world, I wanted to take a different approach.

So today we’re exploring the man behind the gift and uncovering his life before becoming a medium. Plus the surprising moment he realised he could talk to the other side.

You’ll hear:

• Why David didn’t believe in mediums until he accidentally became one
• The reading that proved David had a gift… and it left him speechless
• “They saw me as a threat” - the toxic industry rivals David faced when he first started
• The biggest myths about psychics (like do you have to be born with it?)
• David’s predictions for 2025… You’re not ready for this…

In this episode, we dive into how our need for acceptance can sometimes pull us away from our true selves. From the pressures we face growing up to the societal norms we absorb, I’ll share my personal experiences and thoughts on how these influences shape us—and why breaking free from them is so powerful.

I’ll also share some practical tips that have worked for me when it comes to rediscovering and embracing who you truly are. We’ll explore:

•Building confidence in your authentic self

•Setting and maintaining boundaries

•Staying aligned with your values

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about changing for others. It’s about being unapologetically you and finding your people. The world doesn’t need another carbon copy—it needs you, exactly as you are. You’re here for a reason, and it’s time to tap into that unique, special power.

I’m not a therapist or a coach—just someone sharing what’s helped me on my journey in the hopes it might help you too.

It’s not something I’m proud of, but at the time, I completely lied on social media about what was really happening. Now, in true Emotional Content style, it’s time to finally set the record straight.

Whenever I mention that I used to live in the US, people are always curious about the visa process. So in this episode, I’m sharing some of the absolute do’s and DON’Ts when it comes to navigating visas—because trust me, I’ve learned the hard way.

Oh, and did I mention the part where I got arrested, blacklisted, and that’s still just scratching the surface? Yeah, it’s a wild ride.

This is a story I’ve never shared in full—not with my family, and not even with the friends who know parts of it. But today, I’m putting it all on the table.

If you’ve been listening to the first three episodes, you’ll know my mission: to create a space where people feel safe to share their raw, unfiltered truths—the stuff that rarely sees the light of day. But for that to happen, I need to lead by example.

So, today, I’m diving into a chapter of my life that shaped me in ways I never expected. I won’t give too much away here, but I’ll share why I never imagined myself in that line of work and how the event that made me stop left me with emotions I didn’t see coming.

It’s vulnerable, it’s real, and it’s a conversation that might just surprise you as much as it surprised me.

Big love and serious respect to all the sex workers out there, this line of work isn’t easy and I hope my story can shed some light on the dangers of the industry for you.

I knew if I wanted the guests of Emotional Content to open up and talk about topics they’ve never shared about before … I needed to get vulnerable as well.

If you’ve followed my journey or do a quick google search you’ll see the glamour magazine covers, Youtube videos, the crazy LA lifestyle andand my career as an international DJ … but I want to open up and share with you all the things you didn’t see.

The downward spirals. The anxiety. The moments where it felt like everything was falling apart. And the wild decisions I made because I thought I HAD to at the time.

This episode takes you back to where it all began, and fills in some of the blanks you’ve all been wondering about.

When I went to get my first boob job, I never could have imagined the nightmare that was about to unfold.

This is a story I have NEVER shared publicly before—a chapter of my life I once went to great lengths to hide, carefully planning pre-recorded content and scheduling trips to keep it buried.

Recording this episode was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, but I hope my vulnerability in this conversation not only educates you on the Do’s (and definitely DON’Ts) of plastic surgery but also inspires you to embrace a little more vulnerability in your own life this week.

In this episode you’ll hear

• What drove me to get surgery in the first place 
• A breakdown of every cosmetic procedure I’ve ever had 
• How much I’ve spent on surgeries (including all the revisions!) 
• The critical questions I didn’t ask—and the mistakes I made
• The red flags to watch for if you’re considering plastic surgery

I stopped DJing

Stopped making YouTube videos 

and nearly deleted my Instagram after some heavy things went down. 

But I'm back with my new project, ready to overshare with you more than ever.

Emotional content is more than just a podcast. 

It's a movement. 

In a world full of surface level connections, emotional content is here to break down walls and dive into the questions that reveal who we really are. 

I'm your host, Amy Jane Brand, and I created emotional content to help people go deeper with themselves and each other.

Each episode is a journey into vulnerable stories and conversations with guests who have faced their own challenges … and with me opening up like never before, sharing everything that's happened behind the scenes and the secrets I've kept hidden up until now. 

Join me every Tuesday morning for your weekly dose of Emotional Content because we all have more in common than we think.
