I Didn’t Want to Be Here Anymore:​ Rock Bottom at 30

Emotional Content

Show Notes

It’s true, I never saw myself living this long. I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. And if you’ve ever hit rock bottom, or feel like you’re there now, believe me I know that feeling deeply.

Today’s episode is a heavy one. I’m taking you behind the scenes of what was really going on in my life before turning 30: why I hit rock bottom, my darkest thoughts, the fear of ageing, my mum's accident, substance abuse and how I rebuilt myself back together… slowly, brick by brick. This episode wasn’t easy to record. It’s raw. It’s brutally honest. But I’m hoping that by putting it out there, it helps someone who needs it. You might need some tissues for this one. I know I did. <3

Hi my loves, while I’m still on a short break, I wanted to bring this episode back because it struck a chord with so many of you — and it was the first time I ever opened up about my experience with ADHD.

Hi my loves! I’m still on a short break, don’t worry I’m coming back, but while I’m working on an epic re-launch I wanted to repost one of my most raw episodes.

Hi my loves, I’m still on a short break but I couldn’t not bring this episode back to the surface. It’s one of the most honest things I’ve ever shared about my body image, the pressure to shrink, and what really goes on behind the filtered side of the industry.
