Life is But a Dream - Ep 2

What happens when a voice note to a dear friend turns into a full blown epiphany? This episode.Peta shares a raw, unfiltered voice note she sent to one of her closest friends, one of those messages that arrived before she had a chance to overthink it, and it cracked something open. She’d been feeling lost. Disconnected from her mojo. Like she’d been reborn but hadn’t quite worked out who this new version of herself actually is yet.She talks about the anxiety, the grief, and the very human instinct to grasp for the familiar when everything feels uncertain. To reach for something known, something to anchor to, just to steady the ship. And then the moment she realised that maybe the steadying isn’t the point. Maybe the point is to just let go and jump in.Jump into the fucking river of life.The quote that arrived and shifted everything? Life is but a dream. Cue Row Your Boat, cue the energy shift, cue the Queenager era being officially declared.Peta also shares why she’s renamed this Substack and podcast The Queenager Diaries, the story behind the book she’s appearing in alongside 49 other women, and what it means to finally pick up the keys to the queendom and put down the baggage she didn’t even know she was carrying.Fresh. Wide eyed. Fifty one years of wisdom under her belt. Tits and all.This is the one where it all begins. This is a public episode.
