So here’s a quick peek behind the curtain. This past week or so has been really big for me, and it has made it pretty hard to get a full interview ready.

Now I have never missed an episode of this podcast and I wasn;t going to do so this week either so I decided to do something a little different.

If you've been with me since the beginning, we have shared over 150 episodes on this podcast, conversations that have stretched me, moved me, cracked me open, and put me back together in new ways. And today I just wat to take a moment and pause and reflect on what I have learnt from behind the microphone. Because it's not just the guests that have grown, it's me too.

So I'm going to share some of the most powerful lessons that have stayed with me, lessons about resilience, healing, what it means to really be human. And at the end I'll invite you to share yours with me too.

In this episode I share:

• Why we need to listen to personal cues from the body to identify stress.
• How resilience involves responding kindly to oneself rather than pushing through challenges.
• The concept of interoceptive awareness check-ins to help tune into bodily sensations.
• How small daily rituals, can anchor us through grief and overwhelm.
• Healing does not require grand gestures; small acts of self-care are significant.
• The importance of struggle for personal growth.
• How expanding one's "window of tolerance" involves facing micro challenges to build resilience.
• Why filling life with purposeful activities aids in overcoming destructive habits.
• Why vulnerability is essential for true connection and healing.
• How narrative reframing encourages a dialogue in our minds to reshape self-perception.
• The teaspoon theory reflects energy management by allocating "spoons" for daily activities.
• Self-compassion is vital, allowing rest without guilt and acknowledging one's efforts.

Key Quotes

“Resilience is not about bulldozing through, it's about responding with care.”

"Purpose doesn't have to roar; it can start with a whisper, a choice, a step."
