    Episode 178: How to Stop Feeling Drained After Socialising

    This will save you a lot of energy One of the biggest energy leaks in recovery is trying to explain yourself. Someone asks how you are… and you feel pressure to justify everything.Your symptoms, your limits, why you can’t do what you used to do.And you leave the conversation feeling drained.In our today's podcast episode, I share a simple way to respond that protects your energy, keeps the conversation moving, and stops you going into the “over-explaining spiral.”It’s calm, practical, and especially helpful if you’ve been seeing more people lately.   Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

    Episode 177 - The Energy Trap That Keeps People Stuck

    The energy trap that keeps people stuck One of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in M.E/CFS recovery is misunderstanding energy. What feels like energy is often adrenaline and that’s what keeps the push-crash cycle going. In this week’s podcast, I explain the difference between adrenaline and real energy, and why learning to spot it can change your recovery. If you’ve ever thought, “I felt better… so why did I crash?” this will help.   Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

    Episode 176- I Wish I Knew This When I Was Recovering From M.E/CFS

    If You’re Struggling With M.E/CFS, Read This When I was going through chronic fatigue syndrome over 20 years ago, I genuinely thought my life was over. I went from fit, healthy, and full of energy…to barely being able to lift my head off the pillow. What made it harder wasn’t just the symptoms.It was the confusion, the mixed messages, and the loss of hope. In this week’s podcast, I share the things I wish I’d known back then — the things that would have saved me years of struggle, fear, and chasing the wrong answers. Not theory.Not trends.Just hard-earned truth from lived experience. If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure what actually matters in recovery, this episode will help bring things back to ground.   Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

    Episode 175 - Mitch's M.E/CFS Recovery Story

    From Bedbound to Living Again: Mitch’s M.E/CFS Recovery Story A few years ago, Mitch was a fit, active teenager.  Then his body started shutting down.  Within weeks, he went from riding his bike to school… to ending up in hospital, terrified, wondering if he was dying.  At his worst, making his bed felt like a massive achievement. The couch became his whole world.Noise, light, conversations - everything was too much.  In this week’s podcast, Mitch shares his full story - honestly, calmly, and without sugar-coating it.  Not just what it was like to be that unwell but what actually helped him move forward, step by step, until he got his life back.  Today, Mitch is:running againworking long shiftstravellingliving fully  This episode isn’t about a miracle fix. It’s about fear, patience, timing, and learning how to move toward health instead of fighting symptoms.  If you’re struggling right now, I think you’ll feel very seen by this conversation.   Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

    Episode 174 - The Recovery Trap That Keeps People Stuck With M.E/CFS

    The recovery trap that keeps people stuck with M.E/CFS One of the most frustrating parts of M.E./CFS recovery is doing all the right things…and still feeling like nothing is moving.  You’re trying.You’re careful.You’re doing your best.  And yet, progress feels stuck. In this week’s podcast, I talk about something I see all the time — what I call the recovery trap. It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of willpower. And it’s definitely not because you’re broken. It’s a very common pattern that quietly keeps people stuck often without them realising it.  In the episode, I walk through:why acceptance isn’t giving upwhy chasing your old life can slow recoveryand how doing the right things at the wrong time can keep the body in survival mode If you’ve been plateaued, pushing and crashing, or feeling confused about what to do next… this will likely resonate.   Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.
