Episode Nine - Self Care
Self-Care
Self-care is a term we hear often, but its meaning can easily become blurred or oversimplified.
In this episode, I explore self-care as something deeper than occasional treats or routines. We look at self-care as a compassionate way of responding to ourselves particularly during times of stress, emotional difficulty, or change.
I reflect on:
Why self-care can feel difficult to prioritise
The difference between practical self-care and emotional self-care
How self-care can be subtle, personal, and shaped by your circumstances
Gentle, realistic ways to support yourself when life feels demanding
This episode offers space to slow down, reflect, and consider what self-care might look like for you right now without pressure or expectation.

Episode Six - Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects mood, energy levels and the ability to manage everyday life. People living with bipolar experience shifts between periods of low mood (depression) and high mood (mania or hypomania). These changes can feel unpredictable and overwhelming, but they are part of a recognised medical condition, not a personal failing.
