    The Weight of What I Could See

    Four episodes in and I am more scared than I was before I started. I didn't expect that. Episode five is about what happens when the jump gets bigger than you. When you can see something clearly, something that matters, something real, and you have no idea if you're the person who can build it. I'm recording this from the middle of my second jump. No resolution. No landing. Just the weight of what I can see, and the exposure of saying it out loud.

    The Episode I Wasn't Going to Release

    This episode almost didn't exist three times over. I recorded it on a day when everything went wrong technically. Then I sat on it for weeks because releasing it meant you'd know what I'm thinking about building, and knowing that meant I couldn't quietly back away. Then today happened. It's out anyway. Because the resistance is usually the sign. In this episode: the real difference between my two jumps, why survival and sustainability feel nothing alike, and the first hint of something I'm building for women who are standing where I was standing.

    What Changed Between Jumps

    Same woman. Same fear. Same jump into the unknown. So what changed? I've done this before. The last time I feel apart. This time I feel free. In this episode I try to answer the question that's been sitting with me since day one of this second leap - why does the same person jump so differently the second time round? What is it that makes the difference between surviving a decision and feeling liberated by it? I talk about the years between the two leaps. What I learned and who I became in the space between leaving my career. I talk about what it meant to finally have language for the way I move through the world, and what it cost me not to have that language during the hardest moments in my life. And I talk about the difference between isolation as something that gets imposed on you, and the solitude as something you chose.  She Jumped Anyway is a podcast for women in all the ways women exist - however you came to yourself.

    The First Jump

    Nobody tells you that when you leave, you don't just lose the relationship. You lose the life that was built around it. In this episode I go back to the first time I jumped, leaving my marriage with three children, no qualifications, an uncertain future, and no roadmap for what came next. This isn't a story about what was wrong. It's a story about what it costs a woman to leave. The friends who quietly disappeared. The narrative that gets written about you when you're the one who walked away. The loneliness of navigating the hardest decision of your life almost entirely alone...and the psychological weight of carrying it without the language or the support to make sense of it. I also talk about what I didn't have then that I wish I had... just one person who had already been through it to sit with me and say - "You're not falling apart. You're just leaving." That person didn't exist for me then. That's why I'm making this show now. Send us Fan Mail She Jumped Anyway is a podcast for all women in all the ways women exist - however you came to yourself.
