Where did the year go? I can’t believe this is my final episode of 2024! In this episode, I take some time to reflect on what I’ve learned this year – and hopefully, it might help some of you too.

At the start of the year, my whole world was turned upside down when my relationship ended.

I was already in a tough place mentally, and to be honest, I thought it might tip me over the edge.

But in the middle of it all, I was forced to change how I approached things – and now, looking back, I’m truly grateful for it.

In this episode, I share:

How starting therapy helped me learn to process my emotions instead of pushing them down. The value of enjoying my own company and learning not to cling to friendships or people out of fear of being alone. How joining a rugby team pushed me way out of my comfort zone, both physically and socially – something I never would have done if life had stayed the same. The importance of accepting the natural ups and downs of emotions instead of fighting against them, and how asking why I feel a certain way has been a game-changer.


This year taught me so much about myself, and while it wasn’t easy, I’m coming out of it stronger and more hopeful for 2025. If you’re struggling right now, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone.

Thanks so much for listening and for being here with me throughout 2024 – I’m excited to see where next year takes us.

Here’s to more growth, more lessons, and more looking after ourselves in 2025.

Happy New Year! 🎉
