Some days are not easy...

In this honest, unfiltered conversation, I share my recent diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome and sleep apnoea, and what it feels like to sit with the messy middle instead of putting on a brave face. Joined by Nisha, we explore what it means to show up authentically, even when life feels overwhelming.

We dive into:

✨ The relief and grief of finally receiving a diagnosis after 20 years

✨ Why advice isn’t always helpful and what true empathy looks like

✨ The exhaustion of living with chronic illness (and how it shapes daily life)

✨ Learning to surrender, pace yourself, and redefine “success”

✨ Why it’s okay not to feel okay and how to find safety in the small things

If you’ve ever struggled behind the scenes while presenting “fine” to the world, this episode is a reminder that your truth is valid, your feelings are welcome, and you don’t have to carry it all alone.
