And every time you do… you get stronger. 🔗  Next Episode In the next episode, we’ll look at something many people struggle with… and that's facing life alone.   You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.  Take your power back today, my lovely.

    S3 E14 Listen to this if you feel misunderstood

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like people don’t quite get you? Like you’re explaining yourself… but something isn’t landing. Or you’re holding parts of yourself back… just to fit in. If so, this episode is for you. In this episode of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully, we’re talking about that quiet, frustrating feeling of being misunderstood — where it comes from, how it affects you, and what happens when you start changing yourself just to be accepted. I share: What it felt like growing up feeling different and misunderstoodHow that can lead to overthinking, self-doubt, and holding yourself backWhy people can only understand you from their own level of experienceAnd how trying to “fit in” can actually stop you from being fully yourself I also share a powerful moment from Sally Field that shows how even successful people can carry the feeling of not being fully accepted… and a personal story that helped me realise something important: 👉 Not everyone is meant to understand you. And that’s alright. This episode is about owning who you are, letting go of the need for approval from people who are only passing through your life… and trusting that there are places — and people — where you will be understood. 💛 If you’ve ever felt “too much”, “too different”, or not quite understood… you are not alone.  You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.  Take your power back today, my lovely.

    S3 E13 Invisible Illness: When Your Life Changes But No One Sees It

    Send us Fan Mail You can look fine…  sound fine…  even manage to show up in parts of your life… and yet everything has changed. This episode is for anyone living with an invisible illness — or trying to understand one. Because when something can’t be seen, it’s often misunderstood. In this episode of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully, I talk openly about how invisible illness can quietly change your life… not just physically, but emotionally and personally too. I share:  How my own life shifted from being social and active… to isolated and limited  The reality of being misunderstood by others — even when they mean well  The difference between being tired… and living with conditions like ME and fibromyalgia  The impact of losing parts of your identity… and having to find your way back  And how, even within limitations, it’s still possible to build a life that works for you I also share the story of a friend living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), and how her life changed in ways most people would never see — including losing a career she loved after nearly 30 years. This episode isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about understanding what’s really happening…  and finding your way through it, in a way that’s kind to yourself.  You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.  Take your power back today, my lovely.

    S3 E12 Listen to This if You Feel Like People Don't Like You

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought… “Did I say something wrong?” “They didn’t seem that friendly…” “I don’t think they like me.” If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth — you’re not the only one who feels like this. Not even close. In this episode of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully, we’re talking about that quiet, uncomfortable feeling of being disliked… where it comes from, why your mind creates it, and how it can slowly start to change who you are without you even realising. We’ll explore: Why your brain scans for social “danger”How your thoughts fill in the gaps (often getting it wrong)Why this can make you hold back and lose parts of yourselfAnd how to gently start coming back to who you really are I’ll also share a personal experience of how I used to constantly look for people’s reactions… and how one simple moment at work changed my perspective completely. We’ll also touch on something really important — that not everything is about us. People have their own worlds, their own struggles, and sometimes what we interpret as rejection… isn’t about us at all. This episode is about understanding what’s really happening… and finding your way back to yourself, bit by bit. 💛 If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit… you’re not alone. 🎧 Next episode: We’ll be talking about silent illnesses, including ME, and how they can quietly affect your identity, your confidence, and how you see yourself — often without others realising what you’re going through.  You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.  Take your power back today, my lovely.
