  • Navigating Christmas

    This week on the podcast I’m bringing you a one off Christmas special. Focusing on all things navigating the holiday season; from my own experiences as a neurodivergent with an eating disorder and c-PTSD, to general tips and advice I’ve picked up along the way. The holiday season can be one of excitement and happiness but also can be a challenging time. I have definitely felt both sides of this coin but this year has felt very different for me, so grab a drink and a sweet treat, make yourself comfy and let’s get going 🎀🎄

  • I’M BACK

    “ I have learnt to stop rushing things which need time to grow “


    Yes it’s a little later than originally planned but I am learning to practice what I preach 🫶🏻 learning not to rush, not to panic- to realise I do have time has been a big part of my journey. After ‘missing out’ on so many things and feeling like I was ‘behind’ in life, has meant I’ve felt like I’m in a race against time, trying to do everything all the time. This has led to me spreading myself too thin, burning myself out and not allowing myself to feel present in the moment. It’s been a long journey and will continue to be, but I am excited to be relaunching (no longer) Legally Detained- the podcast about life after the psych ward.

    How do you navigate being an adult when you never expected to be one?

I am excited to share this with you all in collaboration with @bethechangemedianetwork to hopefully help us spread our message even further! 🎀🎙️


    Please do listen, follow, interact and share!!
