Are you really in control of your life - or are you just running on autopilot (without even realising it)? After re-watching The Truman Show, I was struck by how much it reflects the way many of us live: stuck in comfortable routines, maintaining relationships out of habit, and following a path that doesn’t actually belong to us. We might not be surrounded by actors like Truman was - but we can absolutely find ourselves stuck in scripts that aren’t ours. In this episode, I share the reflectio...

In this raw and honest episode, I’m not teaching or coaching - I’m simply sharing the messy middle, the tantrum at the dinner table (yes, really!), and the frustration of knowing what you want to do, but feeling like there’s no space to do it.

In this soulful woodland pepp talk, I explore a powerful idea: What if you're not actually tired… just tired of the life you're living? So many of us feel drained - not because we’re doing too much, but because we’re doing too much that isn’t aligned with who we really are.

I also share some of my own values and invite you to reflect on yours. Are they sh...
