This isn’t just about giving up — it’s about the small moments when we quietly stop showing up for ourselves.

In this episode, Heather and Elli explore the idea of self-abandonment and how it rarely happens all at once. Instead, it’s the thousands of small excuses, quiet surrenders and “I’m too…” stories we tell ourselves that slowly pull us away from the things that make us feel alive. Through personal stories, practical insights and wisdom from Gaye, they unpack the difference between genuine rest and quietly giving up on yourself.

In this episode, we cover:

This is your invitation to notice the small things you’ve stopped doing—and gently find your way back to the ones that bring you to life.

We’re more connected than ever — messages, social media, constant updates — yet somehow, people are feeling more alone.

So we asked a bigger question: Have we lost our sense of community?

This episode unpacks why community matters more than we realise, how it shapes our lives, and where we might be missing it.

In this episode, we cover:

This is your reminder that connection doesn’t always come from the people closest to you.

Sometimes it comes from the spaces you step into.

And often… it starts with something small.
