  • Unfiltered Grief: Why We Need to Stop Censoring the Conversation

    Season 2: Episode 8 - Unfiltered Grief: Why We Need to Stop Censoring the Conversation

    This episode comes straight from the heart. I’m diving into a topic that’s been weighing on me for a little while — the way we’ve started to censor how we talk about grief, loss, and especially suicide. If we are not careful it will become less about connection and more about correctness. And the truth is, when we start policing language, we risk silencing the people who are already hurting the most.

    I talk about how phrases like “committed suicide” or even “trigger warning” have become taboo — and how that kind of censorship often comes from people outside the arena, not those living in it. When I’m forced to stop and think about finding the “right” words, it disconnects me from the raw, authentic truth of my experience — and that’s exactly what helps others feel less alone.

    This episode is about bringing the humanity back to the conversation. It’s about letting grief be messy, real, and unfiltered — because pretending it’s anything else only adds to the pain.

    Because when we speak truth — even when it’s uncomfortable — we make it safe for others to do the same.

    Season 2 : Episode 7 - Go ALL IN on every day!

    In this very special episode — my first ever guest interview — I sit down with Darcy from DRC Fit. Darcy’s story is one of resilience, strength, and the power of mindset. We talk about the tools and beliefs that have carried him through recovery from drug addiction and helped him keep moving forward after the heartbreaking loss of his mum to cancer. Darcy shares how he weaves mindset into everything he does, and why he sees it as the pivotal piece of any real success. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of wisdom about what it truly means to rise above challenges and keep showing up for yourself and your life.

    Season 2 Episode 6: When You Just Don’t Have It In You

    In this episode, I open up about the days when you just don’t have it in you — when the weight of it all feels like too much and even the smallest steps forward feel impossible. I talk about my own experiences with emotional overwhelm, grief, and the pressure to keep showing up when your body and heart are asking you to slow down.

    I share how learning to truly listen to my body, honour my nervous system, and give myself permission to pause became powerful parts of my healing journey. This conversation is about vulnerability, self-compassion, and remembering that sometimes the most productive thing we can do is rest.

    From breakdown to breakthrough, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear — it’s layered, messy, and deeply human. My hope is that this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, that the pause is powerful, and that even when it feels like nothing’s working out… it’s always working out.
