This episode is very different from what I normally share with you. It’s raw, it’s personal, and honestly… it’s not the easiest one I’ve ever recorded. But I know that if this helps even one woman feel less alone in her hard season, then it’s worth it.

Two months ago, I lost my mum to a very rare and aggressive cancer. She was only 56 years old, and as her only child, I was her main carer. It all happened so quickly, and navigating life without her still feels surreal.

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about what these past couple of months have been like, how I’m experiencing grief, and the simple but powerful ways I’ve been prioritising myself through it all. I don’t have it all figured out, and that’s okay. But I want to share what’s been helping me in case you’re also walking through grief, burnout, or just a really tough season in your own life.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

• Why moving my body gently through daily walks has been life-changing for my mental health.
• How I approached food when I had no appetite, and the simple strategies I used to nourish myself anyway.
• The importance of taking breaks without guilt and giving myself space to process emotions.
• Why compassion and flexibility matter more than perfection during times of grief.

Grief is not linear. Some days I feel okay, and other days it feels like the heaviness is sitting right on my chest. If you’re going through something similar, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do it perfectly… you just need to take care of yourself in the ways that feel right for you.

You are not alone, my friend.
