    #104 I am back and couldn't be more excited.

    Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you! In this episode, I’m easing myself back into the podcast after taking a little time away. It feels good to be here again—back with the mic, back with you—and in this conversation I share honestly about where I’ve been, why the pause happened, and what I’m choosing for this next season. 🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways Presence over perfection I remind myself—and you—that showing up is far more important than doing it perfectly. Returning to the podcast isn’t about polished production; it’s about presence. This episode is my permission slip to begin again, even if things feel a bit messy around the edges.Permission to pause + restart I talk openly about my recent pause and how easy it is to judge ourselves for stepping back. Instead, I’m choosing to see the break as part of the process. If you’ve paused something in your life, I hope this encourages you to restart gently and intentionally when the time feels right.Setting intention for what’s next I share my intentions for what I want this next phase of the podcast to offer—more honesty, more connection, more real conversations. I invite you to reflect on what you want to call in or recommit to in your own life.The power of community & vulnerability Returning with honesty feels vulnerable, but I believe deeply in the importance of saying things out loud. When we share the truth of our experiences, we strengthen our sense of community. This episode is a reminder that none of us need to navigate growth alone.🧭 Practical Reflections I Offer Your break wasn’t a setback—it was information.Start again with small, gentle intentions rather than overwhelming plans.Share your experience with trusted people; connection creates momentum.Don’t wait for perfect conditions to return to what you love.🎧 Who This Episode Is For This one is especially for anyone who’s been feeling stuck, who has stepped away from something meaningful, or who’s been waiting for the “perfect moment” to restart. If you’ve been craving a nudge, consider this your invitation. 🔍 Moments to Listen Out For Where I talk about what the pause taught me.The moment I shift from reflection into intention.My invitation to you to consider what you want your next step to be.📌 My Take-Away for You “You don’t need to be fully ready. You just need to be willing.”I’m here, starting again—and if you’re ready, I’d love to walk alongside you as you begin again too.

    #103 Why I have been AWOL.

    Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you! Hey Hey, It’s been a while since my last episode. In fact, I haven’t published an episode of Just For Today since early November '24 when life became overwhelming, and I had to step back indefinitely. In this raw and vulnerable update, I share what’s been happening behind the scenes – the heartbreak, the emotional roller-coaster, and the days when simply keeping my head above water has been a struggle. I recorded this a couple of weeks ago and waited for my intuition to tell me when to hit publish. Today felt like that day. My hope is that by opening up about my journey, it might help or validate someone who’s also struggling, reminding them that they are not alone or losing their mind. At this point, I’d normally say ‘Enjoy,’ but today, I’ll simply say... Speak soon. ❤️ Steph xx If this conversation resonates with you, please share it with someone who could also benefit from these insights.

    #99 The body keeps score even when experiencing secondary gain.

    Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you! Hey Hey!  In this week's episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, delve into the profound connection between our bodies and the unconscious mind. Join me as I explore the concept of secondary gain—where the unconscious mind finds more to gain from not healing than from healing. I discuss how the body holds onto tension and pain, both emotional and physical, and how this manifests in our daily lives. Discover how the body keeps score, always winning, and what this means for your personal healing journey. Through insightful conversations that I have had in the last 14 years, I have uncovered the hidden reasons behind why some pain feels more manageable than the uncertainty of change. This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to understand what your body might be holding onto and how to begin the process of letting go. In this episode I mention my friend and core and pelvic floor specialist, Emma Riedo. More info on Emma can be found HERE .
