Things I Wish I'd Known Podcast

In 2014, my life changed forever. One minute, I was a fun-loving, independent, career woman in action sports, living full throttle… the next, I was bedridden, living with my parents, riding out panic attacks at 10 am and wondering who I even was anymore. The diagnosis list grew longer than my to-do list… PTSD, depression, anxiety, the works. Later came Long COVID and bone-deep fatigue that made washing my hair feel like climbing Everest. I’d chased success so hard I’d misplaced myself.

I realised there was trauma I hadn’t faced and healing I’d been avoiding. So I went in. Therapy, EFT tapping, nervous-system work, meditation, sound healing… hours upon hours learning how to regulate a scrambled brain and a fried body. It wasn’t pretty. It was honest. And it worked.

Piece by piece, I rebuilt. Confidence that didn’t depend on a job title. Boundaries that actually held. Tools that calmed panic, eased pain, and made room for joy again. I kept learning, kept practising, kept choosing my health over the hustle… and my energy came back online.

Turning my recovery into a roadmap, I retrained and created A BRAVE Choice Method™. Since 2018, my talks, workshops, and brand activations deliver energy, honesty, and results... people leave lighter, clearer, and calmer.

I’ve been snapped up by brands like Spotify, TikTok, and Selfridges, voted one of Time Out’s best alternative therapists and had a VICE documentary share my EFT work. My mission has been featured in The Times, Stylist, Evening Standard, HuffPost, and more… plus brilliant podcasts like Frankie Bridge’s Open Mind.

I believe you don’t need to be fixed. You need tools, support and a plan that respects your nervous system. Think practical psychology, EFT, and sound therapy… simple habits that actually stick, even when life is loud. Work can be meaningful without wrecking your health. Success shouldn’t cost your sanity… full stop.
