Welcome back to Mind Yourself for part two of my journey.

This episode is all about the raw, unfiltered experiences that shaped me when I first moved to London. From the naive dreams of city life to the stark reality of being skint, living in an attic and trying to navigate life with no direction. I share the highs and lows that defined those early years.

Join me as I reflect on the lessons learned and the resilience built during this transformative time.

It's real, it's personal, and it's my story. Tune in to discover how these moments have shaped who I am today.

This is where it all begins. In this first episode, I’m sharing my story — the childhood moments that shaped me, the struggles of trying to fit in at school, the times I felt like being me wasn’t enough, and how all of that carried into my adult life.

It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s real. If you’ve ever questioned yourself, compared yourself to others, or felt like you had to shrink to be accepted, this one’s for you.

Yes I am a Mum (and extremely grateful to be one) but a Mum is not all I am.

In the week that is in it (first week of September), I use this episode to share how I was resistant to accept the 'shoulds', restrictions and presumptions of Motherhood that were suggested to me and instead developed a drive to be more and do more - both for me and my children.
