This week's solo episode is all about recognising self-neglect in its everyday forms. While processing pre-orders for my new book "From Self-Neglect to Self-Compassion," I'm sharing some of the checklist that catches almost everyone off guard, yes, even people who think they're doing self-care well. I talk about skipping meals because others need you, minimising your feelings, staying in jobs you dread, and buying treats for everyone but yourself. I also get personal about my own journey from a critical, neglectful relationship with myself to the life I'm living now through compassion. Plus, I share a timely reminder about nervous system regulation, because excitement stresses your body just like worry does. What do you have coming up that needs extra support?

What happens when ambition costs you everything? In this week's episode, I sit down with Kim Elizabeth James, tech founder, keynote speaker, and burnout survivor, who shares the moment her body finally said "enough." From chronic insomnia and physical pain to that pivotal Monday night when she couldn't move forward, Kim gets honest about what burnout really looks like when you're the person everyone thinks has it all together.

But this isn't just a story about breaking down. Kim shares her two-year recovery journey, the daily habits that rebuilt her life, and how she now runs a thriving tech startup without sacrificing her wellbeing. If you're a high-achiever wondering if your pace is sustainable, this episode is for you.

Do you feel depleted, constantly giving until you have nothing left? You might be caught in a cycle of self-neglect that's far more subtle and dangerous than you realise.

In this episode, we shine a light on the sneaky, everyday habits that cause you to push your own needs, dreams, and well-being to the back burner. It's not about being busy; it's about ignoring the fact that you are human first.

We discuss the critical shifts you must make to finally honour yourself. Learn how to carve out the essential time you need, confront the inner voices holding you back, and unlock the compassion required to change your life.

If you are ready to stop shrinking your world and start living the thriving life you were meant for, you need to hear this conversation. The solutions are simpler than you think.
