Feeling lost in life, and you don't have a clue how to find yourself again? Start here.This week on the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast, I'm exploring why feeling lost is not proof that you're broken or failing somehow; often, it's a sign that you've drifted away from your preferences, your values, and your sense of direction. If you're feeling directionless, feeling stuck in life, feeling…

If you keep wondering "why am I so unhappy?" or even "am I depressed?", this episode is for you. Here's the part worth knowing: that miserable feeling is usually pointing at something, and once you work out what, you can…
"But I don't know what I want!" If that thought runs on a loop whenever you feel lost in life, you're not alone, and the reason it's so hard to answer might not be the one you'd expect. Figuring out what you want can feel genuinely scary, and that fear is far more common than anyone admits. In this episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast, I'm talking about how to figure out what you…
Why do you keep doing everything for everyone, even when you're running on empty? That's called overfunctioning: the quiet pattern where being the capable, reliable one slowly wears you down while nobody notices, including you. And it's costing your mental health more than you realise. This week in the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast, I'm talking about overfunctioning: the pattern where…
