Sep 800:57:19Tap to summarizeHi my loves, while I’m still on a short break, I wanted to bring this episode back because it struck a chord with so many of you — and it was the first time I ever opened up about my experience with ADHD.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!If you love Emotional Content and want to see more behind the scenes or connect head over to @_emotionalcontent or @amyjanebrand Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →REPLAY: Secret Sex Work & Why I Stopped
Sep 100:39:45Tap to summarizeHi my loves! I’m still on a short break, don’t worry I’m coming back, but while I’m working on an epic re-launch I wanted to repost one of my most raw episodes.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.If you want to continue the conversation, head over to @_emotionalcontent or @amyjanebrandFor immediate support, contact 1800 Respect at 1800 737 732.Additional resources are available at emotionalcontent.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →REPLAY: Facetune, Laxatives & the Industry’s Dirty Secrets
Aug 2500:45:02Tap to summarizeHi my loves, I’m still on a short break but I couldn’t not bring this episode back to the surface. It’s one of the most honest things I’ve ever shared about my body image, the pressure to shrink, and what really goes on behind the filtered side of the industry.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 didIf 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.🎧 Also recommended:My US Visa Horror Story on Apple & SpotifyIf you love Emotional Content and want to see more behind the scenes or connect head over to @_emotionalcontent or @amyjanebrand Hosted on Acast.

Jul 2800:34:10Tap to summarizeThis week’s episode is for every woman who’s ever confused being desired with being valued.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 sexualityThe difference between being wanted and being seenHow toxic relationships skew our sense of self-worthThe ‘Cool Girl’ trap and how it keeps us smallAnd how to build a healthy, empowered relationship with sex againWhether 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!

Transcribe →Red Flags That Don’t Feel Like Red Flags Until It’s Too Late
Jul 2100:46:21Tap to summarizeAfter years of back to back long term relo’s and a few too many bad choices I’ve gathered a solid list of red flags I’ve either ignored, learned from, or paid the price for lol.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?If you love Emotional Content and want to see more behind the scenes or connect head over to @_emotionalcontent or @amyjanebrand Hosted on Acast.
