What if going backward was the very thing that moved you forward?
In this solo episode, I reflect on a recent trip back to the UK, which is the first time I’ve returned to my hometown of Sunderland in six years.
If I’m being totally honest, I was dreading it. But for a trip I wasn’t looking forward to, it turned out to be one of the most healing experiences of my life. So much so… I can’t wait to return!
From facing old trauma and reconnecting with loved ones, to realising that home isn’t a place; it’s who you are, this is a story of coming full circle and finding peace in the most unexpected ways.
In this episode, I speak about:
- Why returning to my hometown after six years away was one of the most healing things I’ve ever done
- The complicated beauty of family relationships and breaking generational trauma
- Reconnecting with my inner child and finally seeing my parents and brother with compassion
- The unexpected power of letting go of judgement, blame, and outdated stories
- What it really means to come home to yourself, and how to know when you’re ready
- Why the most uncomfortable next step is often the most freeing one
Whether you’ve been avoiding a conversation, a person, or even a part of yourself… this episode is a gentle invitation to stop running and start coming home.
