Coming Up for Air

I talk a lot about my past, with my break up and wanted to do an episode that I hope would make everyone listening who is going through a hard time know that when people say 'It does get better' it really does. Hopefully this episode brings you some peace.

I am a self confessed wine lover & party enthusiast so when I decided to go sober I was faced with a lot of laughs. However, I did it & learnt a hell of a lot. I go into it all in this episode. I was able to reflect on how I depended on alcohol during in my break up but also how going sober impacted my training for the Manchester Marathon.

Self compassion was something I didn't know about until I started therapy. You can build self compassion and apply it to every area of your life. I feel like was such an important part of my healing journey so thought I would share it with you.

A full 75 hard break down and all the lessons I have learnt. I would fully recommend doing this challenge to everyone. I have learnt so much about myself & will take so many things away and implement them into my routine now they have become a habit. STILL not drinking - 5 weeks to the DAY that I will be though!

I spoke about this briefly on my Instagram but I go into more detail as to why I don't like people telling me I've changed in relation to running and healing. I go through why I prefer to say I've grown rather than changed. Along with the standard catch up and usual tangents.
