You don’t have to be broken to go to therapy.

This episode is all about something I wish more of us heard growing up: you don’t have to be broken to go to therapy.
You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart, or until you feel “bad enough” to deserve support.

We’ve been fed this idea that therapy is for people who are really struggling (and it is). But  therapy is also for people who want to understand themselves better. Who want to feel lighter, calmer, more connected. Who want to stop surviving and actually start living.

In this episode, I’m exploring:

• Why there’s still so much shame around asking for help
• The sneaky ways this belief shows up in motherhood
• What therapy really looks like (it’s not lying on a couch talking about your childhood… although sometimes it is)
• Why emotional self-care is just as important as physical self-care
• Simple things you can do today to start prioritising your mental health

This is about breaking cycles. Being the mum you needed. And giving yourself the support you’ve always deserved, no crisis required.
