Recorded Apr 2024: What could go wrong, did go wrong, and buoy, did it rock my boat! (Get it? Buoy..) I was sailing smoothly until I hit the iceberg of dysregulation, and upon reflection, it all becomes clear. Invalidation, discrimination, no shower or hot water, disrupted routines, 'right person wrong time' and dysregulation. Grab your life jackets and tune in to hear about the waves trying to capsize my ship. (Respecting others in my life and keeping some details brief and surface level, I appreciate your understanding, whilst I try to still paint a picture without the details).

What’s surprisingly nice is that I haven’t sunk back into my depression hole. Why? Because I have myself! Who knew self-love was the ultimate life raft. When you’ve got your own back, you can navigate through anything. So, whether you're in a storm or just waiting for the next episode of life to drop, self-care is key! Keep that going, and you might even find enjoyment along the way.

Was it the right person at the wrong time, or just the wrong person? Have they really changed, or did fate just have my back? Who knows! But everything led me here, and I love where I am. Grateful, thankful and blessed.

There's so many what-ifs floating around, so if we can focus on facts, reality, and our own thoughts and feelings, life becomes a lot easier, and surprisingly less disappointing, kind of like a good pizza without pineapple. (No offence intended).

My thoughts are with anyone who’s been hit by the waves discussed in this episode.

As always, sending my very best wishes,
