My New Year’s resolution: Keep doing what I’m doing -because it actually seems to work! I know! Shocker!

from Don’t come to me for advice! · host Petra Paterson

In this episode, I’m back behind the mic and finally figured out how to add music to my podcast — which feels like a small miracle and a good sign for 2026.I talk about why I stepped back from social media, how I learned to quiet the outside noise, and what changed when I stopped letting other people define what MY “well-lived day” should look like.I reflect on last year, my relationship with alcohol, why stopping drinking didn’t magically fix everything, and how I realised the real issue wasn’t willpower — it was stress regulation. I share how using ChatGPT as a daily check-in tool helped me stop burning out, spiralling, and starting over again and again.Weight loss is still an important goal for me — not for how I look, but because extra weight affects my mobility and pain levels — and I talk about why focusing on foundations first is finally making things feel sustainable.This episode is about staying present, keeping things simple, and learning how to move forward without turning life into one long self-improvement project.🎵 As promised, here’s the link to my little pick-me-up / happy song — created with Suno:https://suno.com/s/r2wqPY99ftYT5QKy
