I Didn’t Stop… Until My Body Did And That Saved Me
If you keep giving… eventually, your body will make you stop.
In this episode, I’m talking to Karen Bashford about what happens when life pushes you to your limits — and how a nervous breakdown became the turning point she needed.
Karen grew up feeling unloved, experienced challenging relationships, and spent years giving everything to everyone else. She tried books, courses, and self-development, but nothing worked — until her body forced her to pause.
We talk about the lessons she learned in those moments of collapse: listening to yourself, setting boundaries, and finding the love she’d been searching for all her life.
If you’ve ever felt drained, unseen, or unsure how to put yourself first, this episode shows that sometimes hitting the lowest point is exactly where your rise begins.
Now, grab a cuppa, relax and press play.
