All Things Social Media with Kerryn Taylor

Sat, 25 Mar 2023 04:23:56 GMT

Sharing my thoughts on social media and how we can use our platforms to be a little bit less shit. Social media bullying has major and significant impacts on people's mental health and we can all afford to be a little less judgemental and a little more kind. A person with an addiction, a disability, depression etc is still a person. Let's be less stereotypical and more open minded. Just because you haven't been through or experienced something does not put you higher up the food chain.

Where the f*** have you been? "Imposter Syndrome" with Kerryn Taylor

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 05:37:58 GMT

Ever thought to yourself, who the f*** am I? Traumatic pasts and the statistics of where you should have ended up vs where you are can lead to what's called "Imposter Syndrome" - Constant thoughts that you don't belong, doubting yourself and your achievements, constantly comparing yourself to others; I'm boring, not exciting/fun enough which only worsens when stressed/tired etc. It can feel exhausting showing up to a life you don't feel/believe you deserve.

Episode 27: That time I tried to be Non-Monogamous

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 03:55:53 GMT

That time I tried non-monogamy — and learned it wasn’t for me.This episode isn’t about blame or bitterness. It’s about curiosity, self-trust, and what happens when you override your nervous system in the name of being “open-minded.”I didn’t fail at non-monogamy. I learned what self-abandonment feels like — and why alignment matters more than structure.

Episode 26: All Things Resilience, Mental Fitness, Self Love & New Love

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 08:38:25 GMT

Andddd I’m back 🙂 And hopefully not going anywhere again for the next two and a half years.

This episode is a bit of a life update and a heart check in. Going through another break up has reminded me just how strong I actually am, how incredible my friends are, and how much resilience I’ve built over the years through various forms of therapy, self work, and hard lessons.

I talk about grief that comes with endings, rebuilding your sense of self, leaning on your support system, and why healing isn’t linear but it is worth it. If you’re navigating change, heartbreak, or just finding your feet again, this one’s for you 🤍
