Season 2 Episode 14
I’m recording from Newcastle while I’m deep in learning and thinking about what real change looks like when you live with PTSD. I use Green Day’s “Still Breathing” to remind you that if you’re still here, you can start again and you can move forward, even if it’s slow.
• correcting last week’s song credit mix-up
• taking The Change Room course and why I recommend it
• simple breathing and movement tools you can weave into daily life
• “still breathing” as a mental health turning point
• why recovery has no time frame and no neat finish line
• honest talk on suicidal lows, hospital stays, and rebuilding
• choosing change, practising tools, and dropping relapse shame
• swimming mornings with my son and the value of shared time
• needing alone time as a parent and protecting downtime
• sleep hygiene habits, reading at night, and reducing phone use
• big kids bring big problems and we learn as we go
• what my PTSD journey teaches my kids about mental health
• thought of the week on choosing kindness
You can find me on Facebook and Instagram, and don't forget to like and follow.
Have a great week, and don't forget to be kind to yourself.
