No Deep Dives by FlexMami

who taught you to hate yourself?

One take podcast because I've had beef with editing my whole career!! There are so many steps when all I want to do is talk to you. IF I STUTTER IT'S BECAUSE I'M HUMAN (in a hot and sexy way).
Shadow work isn't about romanticising your flaws; it's about accepting that you are the sum of immaterial ingredients that impact your ability to bloom like you imagined you would. Effortlessly, continuously and sovereignly.

2025 ins: introspective post movie yap debriefs (sincere)

Eternal thanks to Prime Video @primevideoaunz for giving Aurelia (@aureliadotcom) and I the platform to talk deeply about boyfriends having boyfriends and the likelihood of getting manipulated into going to a billionaire’s private island. Deep introspection can happen in company and DEFINITELY when talking about pop culture and the best women-led media moments of now. Side note, this is absolutely one of those “manifesting works” moments because I set the intention that the next time we chat it would be effortless and it absolutely was.

🌀 sexy down regulating (sound healing and neural spa) 🌀

A GIFT FROM ME TO YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM. I manifested these angel sound bowls from Rainbow Sounds on the condition that I'd pay it forward energetically.

the death of hydration, jehovah's witness and neighbourly love (feat. Aurelia St Clair)

Phones that can’t make calls. Apps that don’t work. Food that somehow rots faster than it should. Why does everything feel like it's not quite right?
This episode dives headfirst into the absurdity of right now—tech fails, overpriced produce, and Australia’s quiet luxury obsession (spoiler: it’s just capitalism with better PR).
We're unpacking why “convenience” is really just chaos, why nothing feels built to last, and how we’re all trying to hold it together in a world that’s falling apart. Plus, I’m talking about community (or the lack of it), the hidden costs of progress, and why it’s time to stop waiting for systems to change and just fix what’s right in front of us.
I'm talking to my friend Aurelia Sinclair (@aureliadotcom) a comedian, podcaster, and writer based in Narm (Melbourne). Co-host of Pop Gay.

your timeline is fake (but so is everyone else’s)

WARP SPEED! HYPERREALITY! WE’RE SLOWING DOWN TO SPEED UP!!!! A stroll near my home in nipaluna turns into a much needed debrief about time (yes, time), cultural identity, and Baudrillard’s whole thing about simulacra.
As a beautiful-sweet-boss-baby-princess-daughter of an immigrant who’s been in Australia for FOURTY YEARS, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to keep your culture alive in a world that’s obsessed with stuff. Throw in Western ideas of time being all straight lines and clocks, compared to the Aboriginal Australian understanding of time as a CYCLE (everything, everywhere, all at once!) and suddenly I’m in philosopher mode.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling a million versions of yourself—or just trying to make sense of it all—this one’s for you. It’s called No Deep Dives, but, uh… we might’ve gotten a little deep.

dump your inner loser (shame spiral)

The time has come to take my 45th consecutive leap of faith. Reminding myself that every waking moment is more time to recommit to the version of life I want to be living. Which is audacious at the minimum. After some serious debriefs with my fear and anxiety, I’ve decided to record a video podcast episode. While this may not seem like a big deal to you, it’s huge to me. My life is a movie, and it’s strange not to be documenting it as such. Talking about the irony (and shame spiralling) of finding out from the internet that being my regular self is perceived as being taboo, controversial and hectic. AND WHAT IT FEELS AND FELT LIKE TO LIVE WITH THAT BURDEN. 
With upcoming travels to Morocco, Ghana, and Mexico on the horizon, I’m sharing my thoughts on being brave, making intentional choices, and embracing the freedom to express yourself in any environment. I’m chatting astrology AND more specifically the birth chart of this baby of mine, No Deep Dives (yes, you can cast a birth chart for a business, so why wouldn’t I)🌟

people pleasing has mutated in a big way

I don’t know if you can ever really prepare for a significant perspective shift in a way that self-indulgent self development  makes it feel. The whole time you’re working towards being better, remembering what it’s like to be in a body you’ve never left. 
I love when an online scroll bears fruit. I saw a video from a TikTok creator called Beyond Codependant who shares their matrix of people pleasing. WHICH INVOLVES MORE ARCHETYPES OF PEOPLE PLEASERS. SO COOL. 
There’s the people manager, the caretaker, the matcher, and of course, the classic people pleaser. In exploring how these roles show up in relationships, it’s reminding me why it’s important to get to know your faves deeply. Not scripting through the relationship. And because you know I love it, I also tie it all into astrology — especially the 11th house — to explain how your sign and modality can influence your social dynamics. 
In the spirit of sharing, I’ll also open up about my own experiences with setting boundaries, managing relationships, and the power of being self-aware. It’s like a cosmic roadmap to healthier connections, with a little DIY fashion inspiration thrown in. ✨💫 
Listen immediately and tell your friends to tell a friend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

uh oh the glimmers and emotional residue

In the most dramatic way possible (and without having read the book or watched the movie) i understand the eat, pray, love lady. Seeing new places changes you from the INSIDE OUT.  ALSO IM RECORDING THIS FROM FRIDA KAHLO’s HOME TOWN AHHH!!!! Coyoacán, Mexico City! 🌞✨ There’s really something about those cosmic nudges that keep showing up (hello, synchronicities!), reminding you that there is a magical art to being self aware. Or at least aware of your experiences as you’re experiencing them. Also, who was going to tell me how you can your emotions to MAKE decisions not just a tool to REFLECT on decisions already made???? They’re basically your personal GPS for making better life choices.
I’m recognising that paying attention to the small, sparkly moments can actually guide you toward a more intentional, values-driven lifestyle. Ofcourse I’ve imbued this episode with a perfect combination of astrology insights, lived lessons from my own experiments to live with more purpose. It's like a cosmic treasure map, but way more fun. ✨🗺
Until next time!

you’re not normal (everybody can tell)

Normalcy? In 2024? Are you sure? I’m trying to unpack how niche behaviours, trends and belief systems have exploded into the mainstream, making everything feel ‘normal’ and yet totally strange at the same time. Australians online are becoming hyper aware and paranoid of cool in a way that feels uncharacteristically American. 
We’ll also dive into the mental gymnastics of trying to be aware of what is popular and important to people (thus cool) and the ever shifting standards. Also!! Didn’t Carl Jung teach us about individuation for a reason. The belief that knowing and celebrating the chosen self is far more important than confirming.
