This Is Where You Start Part 1

In my very first episode of This Too Is Healing, I share why I started this podcast and the journey that led me here.From growing up in the countryside as the youngest of five, to years of performing under constant pressure, I learned perfectionism and self-criticism early. Those beliefs shaped my adult life, leading to anxiety, burnout and a deep personal need to understand mental health.Writing became my way through, from childhood diaries to a completed book born from a month of daily mindset messages. Now I’m bringing those conversations to the podcast, exploring how healing looks different for everyone.If you’ve ever felt “not good enough” or unsure where to start, this podcast is for you. Together we’ll share stories, strategies and real-life ways to care for our minds.In this episode of This Too Is Healing, I sit down with Yazmin, who stepped in at the perfect moment to share her personal journey. Together we explore what it means to finally allow yourself to be seen and heard, even when it feels uncomfortable or frightening.We talk about anxiety, identity and the masks we wear to keep the world at a safe distance, how letting those masks drop can bring us closer to our true selves. This heartfelt conversation is about finding space to reconnect with who we are and the courage it takes to share that journey out loud.I speak with Kirsty who is a runner, paramedic and fitness influencer, about the deeper connections between movement, mindset and healing.Kirsty shares her story of discovering how fitness and community helped her through some of life’s most difficult moments, from the challenges of military family life to experiencing depression for the first time. Together we all explore daily habits, the importance of saying “no” and therapeutic practices such as EMDR and shamanic journeying.This conversation is about more than physical fitness, it’s about finding your own path to feeling grounded, connected and whole.
