This year, so far has been a wild ride for me, on a personal level. I suppose I'm just a voice but, a voice so grateful to you all for listening. So I thought I'd get honest. It's a jumbled mess of thoughts, but we all feel like that sometimes. I beat my doubt by doing this first thing. Excuse the half asleep voice. Thank you. To you all, from the bottom of my jumbled thoughts.

Scars have stories behind them. You cannot have a scar without going through something. Whether that's mentally or physically. On this episode I talk of my tale of the washing machine and how its lessons can be used in to accept and heal. Humour is also a good way to tell a story and maybe you'll have a giggle at the same time.

Addiction to anything can be devastating. It has the potential to ruin lives. Growing up with my mother's addiction shaped how I viewed love and the need to help. From what love is to how to addressing difficult situations. Which bleed on to future relationships. But adding, this is solely my personal experience from the outside.

It sadly all to offer children are caught in the middle when parents split. The back and forth seems the norm, yet when parents get on or actually are friends after they split, it seems strange and unfamiliar. This is my take after being told so many times that getting along with my children's father is great but weird. And as always their are some expectations to the rule. But children should not be used to hurt your ex partner, just because they hurt you.

Starting a company from home is never easy. Add 3 children, special needs and personal mental health issues, it can be made alot harder. Sabina, with help from daughter Phoebe, talks about what she has overcome to get to this point and what possibilities lay ahead. All to give people that one moment of happiness, some may desperately need.

Revenge, in my opinion, has no good outcome. Learning from a young age, its just not worth it. It's easier said than done. But if you drink the poison, don't expect the other person to die. You cause yourself more pain being obsessed over something the other person is probably not even thinking about.

The impact small things have on the big goals is more important than we give credit for. Our brains are simply overwhelmed by a big idea. So that's what it stays as, an idea, a goal, a someday. This are my tid bits on how to make those big ideas and goals, achievable. And also some announcements to some of my changes. Thank you for listening.

The make up of your parents has the possibility of affecting you later in life. Especially if you've been kept in the dark. This is my experience of how I recently put to bed the issue of my genetic history. How it effected my mental health and how I've felt since letting go. My words to this is, if children ask you questions, to borrow from Jordan Peterson, tell the truth or at least don't lie.

One day Julie's life changed. And like all life changing situations, it took time and self exploration to come to terms with. Now she's using her story to help others. She's learnt that there's no right way of doing things, just your own. Which is always going to be different. From pain to relief to mental health. She has overcome these difficulties, she's not just to become a survivor, but a warrior.

Ectopic pregnancy is something that people might of heard about or have alittle information but the actual experience is something very different. I've never fully shared my story. Now feels right and the hope is that it sheds a little light on the subject. Ectopic pregnancy is a hard but personal situation to go through. But sharing it could mean helping others.

It's Autism Awareness Week and with my son being on the spectrum only seemed fitting to have him on. He's 9 (nearly 10 as he tells you) and we have our little chat and I give you a peak in to life with a child on the spectrum.

This week I talk about my own personal growth. A subject many roll their eyes at. But for me, its help discover some deep routed abandonment issues and how exposed I'm feeling stripping myself bare as I go through this year of no alcohol. Loosing a coping mechanism and trying to establish new healthier ones. It does involve family and which I say I have nothing but love. This is just my side and my emotions on the subject but go in to this knowing that there is always 2 sides to a story.

We live in an age where looks seem to be pushed more then ever. This episode I give my insight, as well as how I've been feeling just lately. My mental health has had issues just lately and I've had to grow myself to understand myself. As a society we seem to judge how a person is by the look of their social media profile. Social media is tool but how we use it, is up to us.

Mike is a true testiment to what you can do in a year. As he passes his 1 year sobriety he gives an great insight to how its not about the year mark, it's about doing the hard work everyday, doing it for yourself and facing your feelings that you had distracted yourself from. Mental health needs just as much work as the addiction. That with the acceptance of each day as it comes and a great support system, from family, friends and even strangers, you can get there.
