It's something I've experienced intimately, and through personal relationships, I've had endless conversations about this strange sensation that can leave you feeling completely out of control. While I don't land on a final answer for why we experience heartbreak, I do share my own experiences with it and some of the ways I've learned to heal. I hope you enjoy.

Season 2 Finale Let's Reflect

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 12:34:45 GMT

We are finally wrapping up season 2 of the podcast.

A very chatty episode, it may not seem like it on socials but I've been hibernating and it feels like I'm coming out of my cocoon to ponder on different realisation of 2024 thus far. From saying goodbye to parts of myself, to losing touch with friends, anxiety and transitional periods. It's all felt like a whirlwind. But grab a seat and lets chat through it all.

Thank you to everyone who's listened to the Taylu Podcast. Incredibly excited for what's to come in season 3.

Until then sending all my love.

This episode was recorded on August 1st 2023.

In this weeks episode I sit with my dear friend Duc to just simply chat.

Dating in Australia as a Black Woman

Hey My loves,

In this weeks episode I speak about my personal experience dating in Australia as a black woman. I've felt hesitant speaking about dating on a public forum as we're ever evolving as humans.

Vulnerability (Open to attack)

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 20:00:08 GMT

Hello my loves,

We're here once again. I've been pondering on what vulnerability means to me and its role. In an ideal world I think we would all love to bring our full selves to every interaction but that's easier said than done. If Vulnerability means open to attack, than why do we expose ourselves? Although I don't have all the answers, lets explore this and see where we land.

We're tired of getting embarrassed

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 05:00:18 GMT

I've been trying to record this episode for sometime and it's still a concept I'm getting comfortable with. This episode is by no means perfect and perhaps I might revisit it, but as I've always said, this podcast isn't suppose to be perfect. Instead I want to explore topics that interest me, even in the midst of figuring it out.

Embarrassment, we've all experienced it, but what purpose does it serve in our lives and how do we come to terms with it?

Somewhat of a bare bones episode, but I wanted to open the dialogue up and so lets explore.

I cried on my birthday

So last year I cried on my birthday. I was completely overwhelmed and left feeling disappointed. I know that may sound extremely silly, but I feel like we've all been there in one way or another.

This made me really reflect on the friendships in my life and a deeper reflection on how to deal with your expectations not being met whilst navigating friendship dynamics.

No matter how old you are, we've all had to deal with coming to terms with ever changing dynamics with our friends. I chat through my experience and the things I've learnt.
