Healing doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about progress, not perfection. You’ve got this!

Alright, it’s almost that time of year when everyone’s shouting 'new year, new me' and pushing those perfect body goals – but let’s get real: is any of it even what you want? In episode 8 of the HERd podcast, I’m peeling back the layers to help you reflect on what’s actually true for you. Are you living life on your terms, or are you following someone else’s script?

It’s so easy to chase after the 'perfect' home, the 'ideal' body, or the picture-perfect lifestyle, but do these things really fulfil you, or are they just what you think you’re supposed to want?

Let’s dive into what truly matters, calm the noise, and uncover what lights you up. Ready to ditch the expectations and find the real you? This is your invitation to step into a life that’s fully yours.
