This is the story I've never told publicly.

Four years ago, I was a head teacher of three schools, solo parenting through a crisis I couldn't talk about. My son was in meltdown every morning. I was depleted, alone, and trying to hold it all together.

I had all the professional training. All the strategies. But I couldn't help my own child.

So I did what I'd always done—I tried harder. Exercise, self-development, grit, determination. I pushed through for 15 months.

Until my body said no. Complete collapse. Breakdown. Six months off work.

In this episode, I share the full story:

• What was really happening in my home
• The hallway moment that changed everything
• Why trying harder almost destroyed me
• What recovery actually looked like (spoiler: a lot of Disney)
• Where I am now—and how I help parents do the same

This is vulnerable. This is real. And if you're barely holding on right now—this is for you.
