In the Season One finale of Define, I sit down with Alicia - a leader in mental health and a woman who has been on a profound journey of understanding her body, her emotions and herself.

Triggered by the end of an 11 year relationship, Alicia began noticing patterns she’d never connected before: the emotional storms, the physical pain, the exhaustion that didn’t make sense.

What started as heartbreak became a doorway into discovering she was living with PMDD and endometriosis -conditions that had been quietly shaping her entire adult life.

In this conversation, we explore:- How leaving a long term relationship became the catalyst for deep self-reflection

- The reality of living with PMDD and endometriosis

- What it takes to understand your cycle

- How self-knowledge became the turning point for healing

Alicia’s story is honest, tender and full of strength - a reminder that understanding your body is one of the most powerful acts of self trust you can make.

What happens when the thing that once gave you comfort becomes the source of your pain?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Kat, who courageously shares her story of finding faith and then finding herself again after escaping a cult.

In her early twenties, Kat sought connection and belonging in the church, but what began as spiritual solace soon became a space of control, fear and manipulation. In this conversation, she opens up about the moment she realised she needed to leave, how the experience impacted every part of her life and what it took to rebuild her sense of trust, identity, and faith on her own terms.

We talk about:

• How a church community became something far darker

• The manipulation and control that eroded her sense of self

• The courage it took to leave and start again

• How yoga, reflection and support helped her heal

• What spirituality means to her now

What happens when life moves on without you?

In this conversation, I sit down with Jack - a personal trainer, writer, poet and traveller - to explore what it means to lose your sense of self and rebuild from the ground up.

We talk about:

• The reality of hitting rock bottom and finding your way back

• How to navigate the uncertainty of identity and direction

• The importance of feeling connected and having purpose

• Rebuilding confidence through creativity and movement

Jack’s story is an honest reminder that rock bottom isn’t the end, it’s often the moment you start becoming who you were always meant to be.

What happens when your whole world changes overnight?

As a child, Cathy’s parents moved her from rural Ireland to France - where she didn’t speak a word of the language. Overnight, she had to learn new words, a new culture, and a new way of life.

That early experience of change, challenge and adaptation shaped everything that followed, including how she later navigated the pressures of diet culture.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it was like to build a new life from scratch as a child in a foreign country

• How language and culture shape our identity

• Cathy’s personal journey with food restriction and fear

• Why she’s fiercely anti diet culture and committed to healthy, sustainable weight loss for those she works with

• The mind body connection that helped her find food freedom

Cathy’s story is a powerful reminder that whilst change can be uncomfortable, it can be the foundation for deep resilience and that freedom often comes from trusting yourself first.

This is a powerful listen for anyone who’s felt lost in the roles life asks them to play.Let's stay connected:
