Episode 9: From We to Me: Gayle’s Story

What happens when the person who's been your constant since before you took your first breath is suddenly gone? When your emergency contact, your backup plan, your other half transforms from physical presence to something you can't quite touch?

Gayle's story isn't just about losing her identical twin sister Belinda - it's about discovering who you are when you've always been "we". It's about learning that the justice fighter who spent her life caring for everyone else now has to turn that fierce protection inward.

In this deeply moving conversation, Gayle shares how growing up in a family where she never felt truly seen led her to find safety in her twin connection. How becoming a single mum through IVF gave her unexpected purpose. And how navigating Belinda's cancer journey - twice - taught her that some life jackets don't disappear, they just shift to a different dimension.

If you've ever felt like half of you is missing, or you're the carer who forgets to care for yourself, or you're learning to live when your person is gone, Gayle's story will show you that grief can return you to yourself in the most unexpected, soul-affirming ways. Because sometimes the greatest act of love is learning to be your own life jacket.
