Fear can feel overwhelming

It builds up in our minds, grows louder, and convinces us we’re not ready, not capable, not strong enough. But most of the time… fear is just a bubble. And bubbles burst. In this episode, “The People Around You Matter”, we talk about how the voices around you can either fuel your fear or str

Day 33 of Talking It Out

Not every day is a big breakthrough day… some days are just about showing up, keeping going, and being a little kinder to yourself than yesterday. I’m learning that progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just choosing not to give up. Sometimes it’s getting through the day when your head feel

Sometimes we forget… we weren’t built to sit still

In this episode, Rory talks about Dr Colin Robertson’s work and the idea that we are born to move, born to be active, and shaped by the environment around us. When we stay stuck indoors, disconnected and inactive, it affects more than just our bodies — it affects our minds too. Getting outside.

Day 32 – Talking It Out 🗣️💭

Today’s been an okay day. I’ve kept myself at home mostly because of the weather, but honestly… I needed a slower day. Woke up feeling better than yesterday and my cold is nearly gone, which already feels like a win 🙌 Payday tomorrow, walking football to look forward to, and plans for the weeken

Day 31 – Talking It Out 🗣️💭

A new day, a new page. Day 31 reminds me that healing doesn’t stop just because a milestone passed. The journey keeps going — and so do I. Some days I feel strong, some days I feel tired, some days I feel unsure… but I’m still here, still trying, still choosing to talk instead of staying silent.

Day 30 of Talking It Out 🗣️💭

Thirty days of showing up. Thirty days of being honest. Thirty days of not bottling things up like I used to. Not every day has been productive. Not every day has been positive. But every day has been real — and that’s what matters. I’m learning that progress isn’t about being perfect… it’s about

Day 28 of Talking It Out

Today was another good day. I joined a table tennis tournament with people I know — something I would’ve talked myself out of not long ago. I overthink things like this, but I pushed myself and went anyway. Ended up 4th out of 8 and lost to the winner, but the real progress was showing up. The l

Day 27 of talking it out   

Learning to build self-belief. Quiet day today, which meant time to reflect. I’m starting to understand that self-belief isn’t something that just arrives one morning. It’s something we create, little by little, through our actions. Trying when we feel unsure. Showing up when it would be eas

Day 26 of talking it out

Day 26 of my self‑growth journey. I’m learning to interrupt my spirals, protect my energy, and trust myself again. Closure, confidence, self‑belief — all still in progress, but I can feel the difference. Healing isn’t linear, but I’m moving forward. #HealingJourney #Lemon8Wellness #Sel

Day 25 of Talking It Out.

Today was calm, but it made me realise something. I stay quiet sometimes because I’m afraid my words won’t make sense or the person listening won’t understand. It feels like protection, but it actually keeps everything bottled up. So today I’m choosing honesty. If you’ve been holding something in

Day 24 — Talking It Out ✨ 

Today started heavy. After barely sleeping and overthinking everything under the sun, I woke up drained. With a house inspection tomorrow, I spent most of the day cleaning — and honestly, the routine helped calm my mind. This evening I watched Episode 4 of my podcast, and it brought a much‑needed

Day 17 of talking it out.

Day 17 of talking it out. Still riding the same storm as yesterday, but today I’m noticing the tiny things that help me breathe a little easier. Healing isn’t linear — it’s slow, quiet, and full of moments that don’t look like progress until you look back. I’m learning to honour the small wins, eve
