📺 watch and subscribe on youtube for most of my life i thought i was broken. no matter how many books i read, therapy sessions i sat through, or affirmations i wrote in my journal, i kept repeating the same patterns. shame, scarcity, never feeling enough, collapsing after every achievement. i was aware of all of it. i could name it, trace it, explain it and yet still it kept running. in this epis...

📺 watch and subscribe on youtube i had a job, good salary and relationship and by every conventional measure my life looked fine. and yet underneath all of it i felt completely frozen internally. not necessarily sad but just flat, disconnected and like i was watching my own life happen from slightly outside it. there was no obvious crisis to point to, which made it almost impossible to name or ju...

📺 watch and subscribe on youtube there's a message most of us received early in life.. it sounds like “toughen up. don't cry. push through. get on with it.” and for me it was direct - i was told to “put up, shut up and get on with it.” and i did.. i got very good at it. i pushed through school, university, relationships, career failures and family pain. i kept moving and kept achieving. a...

📺 watch and subscribe on youtube I see few people in the wellness space being fully honest about this. healing f*cking hurts. not in a poetic instagram caption kind of way but in a real, raw, inconvenient, sometimes debilitating way. for close to a decade i carried so much tension in my belly, my hips and my legs that at times it was difficult to walk. i did the physio, the rehab, the stretching,...
