In this soul-stirring episode, we welcome May Riddle, whose extraordinary journey from devastating childhood trauma to profound healing will leave you breathless, inspired, and filled with hope.

May's story begins in the schemes of Glasgow, where poverty, family alcoholism, and abuse shaped her earliest experiences. With unflinching honesty, she reveals how alcohol became her sanctuary at just nine years old, placing her in "an impenetrable bubble" away from pain. As her path led to teenage motherhood at fifteen and eventually a twelve-year battle with heroin addiction, May faced the darkest corners of human experience.

The turning point came after a suicide attempt when May found herself cycling to a recovery meeting, still intoxicated but desperately seeking change. What followed was nothing short of miraculous – a profound spiritual awakening that became the foundation for sixteen years of sobriety and a complete transformation of her life. "When you ask for help, it will come," May shares, a simple yet powerful truth that runs through her testimony.

Today, May has channeled her experiences into purpose through May Riddle Therapies, where she works as a recovery consultant helping others find their way out of addiction. Her message resonates with raw authenticity: "Nobody's coming to save you. You have to save you." Yet within this truth lies tremendous hope – that even from our darkest moments, rebirth is possible.

Whether addiction has touched your life directly or you're simply seeking inspiration from someone who has transformed profound suffering into light, this episode will move you to tears, laughter, and perhaps, to reaching out for the help you deserve. Share this powerful conversation with someone who needs to hear that change is always possible.

Body Confidence Revolution: What It Really Takes

We’re stripping away the myths about body confidence, because it has nothing to do with the number on a scale and everything to do with how you feel about yourself.

In this episode, we dive deep into:
• Why body confidence is lowest in women aged 34–44 and how to break free from that cycle
• How social media fuels insecurity (and how to protect your energy online)
• Simple daily practices to flip negative self-talk into self-empowerment
• Why moving your body with appreciation (not punishment) changes everything
• How to set boundaries that protect your confidence and help you thrive

Whether you’re struggling with self-image, chasing external validation, or just ready to finally feel at home in your skin, this conversation will give you the tools to start your own body confidence revolution.

She Creates Brunch is now LIVE to book on 28th September - You are invited to build confidence with us in PERSON!
