#48 - Why I Almost Quit - Reflection & Tools for 2025 - Solo Episode

Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast and to this solo episode—one that's been a little overdue, to say the least. In today’s episode, I reflect on the highs and lows of last year, share some lessons learned over the Christmas period, and open up about my struggles with perfectionism, low mood, and balancing authenticity with the demands of podcasting.

I also dive into actionable tools and concepts that have been helpful in my own life, from strategies for pulling yourself out of low moments to ways of being more intentional with your time and energy. This one’s raw, reflective, and hopefully relatable.
