What to do when you feel "bleugh"

Ep. 38

Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it.


Sometimes it feels like your life is a sitcom. You're the main character going through some big ol' challenges and you're wondering "ok, who wrote this script?"


You can have phases where you feel a bit "bleugh" – your mood, your energy, your vibes... it's just not giving.


So here's a lil message and some principles to help you feel the feels, ground yourself, and try to rewrite the script. To bring some calm, rather than shame (ew, no thank yewww).


Hope you enjoy!

    Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life's chaotically fun, messy bits and laugh about it. Today's episode is all on SELF-CELEBRATION. Something we are notoriously bad at (especially as society says you should Be HuMbLe) but an activity we need to do. It's about tooting your own horn, giving yourself credit that you so easily give to others, and recognising how far you've come. Hope you enjoy this episode! Drop me a DM on @killedmycactuspod with your wins and proud moments – I'd love to hear from you and share the fun. P.S. Don't forget to follow the pod and share this episode so I can continue to yap with you.All the love and vibes,Nads 💖

But but what happens if you draw outside of the lines? So we’ll be dissecting all that in the episode.If you're having a mini existential crisis – grab a cuppa, and take notes. 🌵P.S.

  • 35. "soft-girl era" philosophy

    14:48||Ep. 35
    Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it. It's been a WEEK so I'm sharing some of the chaos with you – and it definitely feels like somethings in the air. If you feel like January is too much right now, you'll like the soft-girl era philosophy. It's basically, anti-hustle culture and living more intentionally, guilt-free. (I can defo subscribe to that!)This episodes features backward manifestation, weird encounters, breaking old patterns... and more. P.S. Thanks so much for tuning in!

  • 34. "I don't like my friend's boyfriend" & other confessions

    14:28||Ep. 34
    HAPPY NEW YEAR my little cacti!Welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it.This is a JUICY episode talking about all of your biggest confessions, anonymous of course. I feel like the priest listening and saying "It will all be ok, child", very cathartic for everyone, I'm sure. It’s very on brand when thinking about the whole theme of this podcast generally. These confessions are equally hilarious, shocking and humbling... But zero judgement. Just pure entertainment. And I thank everyone for supplying 10/10 content.Hope you enjoy the episode and let me know which is your favourite confession.P.S. Please follow, share this episode and rate the show 5* so I can continue creating fun episodes you love! All the love & vibes,Naida 💖

    14:57||Ep. 33
    Hello and welcome back to IKMC – the shame-free podcast where we yap about life’s chaotically fun messy bits, and laugh about it.Now, as we approach a new year, it naturally makes us reflect. I don’t really subscribe to the whole ‘new year, new me’ BS but more focusing on self-extension, how we can keep building and growing, rather than feeling like you need to be a whole different person.So with that, here's my mini list of things I'm leaving behind in 2025, and what I'm bringing into 2026. (FYI: this is not a New Year's resolution.)Also tune in for my biggest social faux of the year too... also will NEVER be doing that again.P.S. DM me on @killedmycactuspod with your intentions - let's share the fun.Thanks so much for listening to this episode - please do me a lil favour and hit the follow button, share this with a friend and rate the show 5* if it vibes with you so I can continue to create episodes you enjoy.
