In this episode of Fall From Grace, I walk back into the week that changed my life forever — the week I genuinely believed everything was about to be saved.

Instead, everything collapsed.

For a brief moment it felt like help had arrived. Conversations suggested support. People were stepping in. It seemed like the situation I had been carrying alone might finally stabilise.

But the reality unfolded very differently.

In this episode I share the real timeline of what happened during that week — the promises that were made, the sudden shift in tone, and the moment I realised I was standing in a fire I never meant to create.

This conversation goes deeper than anything I’ve shared before.

I talk about shame, fear, corporate betrayal, family dynamics, and the weight of trying to protect the people you care about while everything around you begins to unravel.

I also share the moments that followed — facing regulators, losing the life I thought I had built, and the night I slept alone in my car at Point Ormond wondering how everything had fallen apart so quickly.

For nearly ten years I’ve avoided talking about this chapter.

But healing sometimes means walking back through the hardest moments with honesty.

If you’re navigating your own collapse, rebuilding after loss, or trying to make sense of something that went wrong in ways you never expected — I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone.

• The illusion of being “saved” before everything collapses
