Stress isn’t the problem.

That might seem the wrong thing to say and yet hear me out.

Life gets loud, messy and unpredictable. That’s just how it rolls. The real issue is what we do when the pressure cranks up and everything feels like it’s coming at us from all angles.

In this episode, I’m sharing a time when work had me completely overwhelmed. I’m talking tight chest, feeling overwhelmed and having sleepless nights. 

I’ll walk you through what helped me crawl out of that chaos and give you five actions that can help you steady yourself when it all feels too much.

No magic wands. Just tools that actually work.

Ever looked in the mirror and wondered where you went? 

You’re still there, probably under a pile of laundry, school forms and half-eaten biscuits. 

In this episode, I chat with Nette Hargreaves, who knows exactly what it’s like to lose yourself in the whirlwind of motherhood.

Nette opens up about how she went from being her own person to feeling like she existed purely to keep her small human alive. She shares the real, raw moments of losing herself and, more importantly, how she found her way back, without running away to a remote island.

If you’ve ever felt like you've disappeared into the chaos of being Mum and forgotten how to be you, this one’s for you.

Imagine living almost 50 years feeling like you weren’t really living. That was Kay’s reality. Depression took over, shaping every decision, every relationship and leading to two divorces and a version of herself that even she didn’t recognise.

In this episode, Kay gets real about what it’s like to lose yourself for decades, only to finally reclaim your life when you least expect it.

She shares how she found the love she always deserved, the strength she never knew she had, and why her children had to wait until they were adults to truly get to know their mum.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a life that doesn’t feel like your own, this one’s for you. Because no matter how long you’ve been lost, you can always find your way back.

Rising from the Rubble isn’t about disasters. It’s about real people, just like you, who refused to accept what life threw at them. People who made a choice to rebuild, to rewrite their story, to take back control.

In this first episode, I’m sharing mine.

The setbacks, the doubts, the moments I questioned whether I was on the right path. Because I know what it feels like when life pulls the rug from under you. When you wonder if you’ll ever feel likeyou again.

I’ve been through redundancy. I’ve had moments where I felt lost, uncertain, and stuck. And I’ve also found a way through it. Not by waiting for someone else to fix things, but by stepping up, shifting my mindset, and deciding that my story wasn’t over yet.

Maybe you’re standing at a crossroads too. Maybe you’re wondering what’s next. That’s exactly why I’m here—why this podcast exists. To remind you that no matter what life has thrown your way, you can rise from the rubble and build something even stronger.
