Season 2, Episode 4

We break a two-week silence with a real check-in on PTSD, sleep, and why progress shows up as longer stretches between low days. From pickleball highs to a Bali trip without meds and a surprising psychedelic light session, we map tools that kept us steady.

• owning the social media gap and why showing up matters
• using “brighter days” as a practical frame for recovery
• tracking intervals between bad days as progress
• travel stress, lost sleep, and anxiety triggers
• pickleball wins, fatigue costs, and body signals
• Bali nightlife, unexpected joy, and dancing anyway
• psychedelic light and sound healing takeaways
• sleep hygiene, medicinal cannabis, and consistency
• managing high SUDS in sport with breath and awareness
• resisting catastrophising and choosing self-kindness
• redefining success as love, especially self-love
