In today’s episode, I open up about something very real and very raw: how I show up for myself when life feels completely overwhelming. Right now, I’m away with work, juggling exams, travel, and a heartbreaking family situation back in the UK — and it has honestly been one of the most emotionally difficult weeks I’ve ever lived through.

I share exactly what’s been happening, how my routines and structure completely fell apart, and how I’ve been finding small ways to look after myself while still trying to be strong for my family, my crew, and myself. This isn’t a polished or perfect episode — it’s honest, messy, and human.

In this conversation, I talk through the small actions I’ve been taking each day to stay grounded: breaking things down into daily survival steps, choosing meals that keep my energy stable, taking walks when I can’t train, listening to music and podcasts to calm my mind, and giving myself permission to feel everything without guilt.

If you’re going through a tough week — grief, stress, burnout, emotional overload — I want you to know you’re not alone. In this episode, I share what’s helping me cope, how I’m keeping myself steady when everything feels chaotic, and why doing one small thing for yourself each day can help you move forward, even if life feels like it’s falling apart.
