My conversation this week with Daniella Moyles is one that will stay with me. Daniella is a former model, radio DJ and presenter who didn't take her foot off the pedal for close to a decade, resulting in a period of intense physical and mental anxiety and burnout. When she realised her life needed to change, she took time out to jump into the new: A life of yoga teacher training, psychotherapy training and, eventually, motherhood. She wrote her memoir, which is called Jump, about the experience, and now as a mam to three-year-old Sonny, she's living a quiet rural village life and making sure to fill her own cup, as she has what she described herself as "a visceral reminder" of what happens when she doesn't. Daniella's story is so interesting, and how she describes living with panic and anxiety is so real, I think anyone listening who's gone through similar will relate. We talk about how the 'village' isn't really there and how society has let down mothers in particular, how sometimes the anger inside you can take over and make you need to go punch a pillow, and on that, regardless of how you feel, every feeling is valid and is your body or your mind alerting you to something you need to know. Daniella has taken all of her learnings and experience and has created The STLL, an online platform which helps people to slow down, tune in and focus on self-development. This is a truly fascinating listen for what is the final episode of Season 16, Thank you so much for all your support, messages and kindness this season. I'll be back in few weeks time with more amazing guests for Season 17.
