I wasn’t expecting to record another podcast episode so soon.

But I also wasn’t expecting my Instagram account to be suspended - right before my annual Courageous Planner pre-order week (the biggest sales week of my business year). And just weeks before my breast cancer surgery.

It’s the latest development in what I believe has become an ongoing ‘cancellation campaign’ led by two fellow business owners.

In this episode, I share what’s brought me to this point - and why I’ve decided enough is enough. Despite preparing for cancer treatment, I now intend to take legal action.

Should you post controversial content as a social media manager (the YouTube/podcast I talk about in this episode)

In June, I shared the news of my breast cancer diagnosis.

Since then, it’s been scans, appointments, waiting - and more waiting.

And just when I thought I’d adjusted to life with one diagnosis… I was referred for another urgent cancer investigation.

In this episode of the Courageous podcast, I talk about:

• What it feels like to face another suspected cancer referral
• How endless medical admin can tip you over the edge
• The surreal overlap of business, cancellation fallout and cancer
• Why I’m choosing not to disappear, even in the middle of uncertainty
• The good news I’m holding onto

It’s raw and real. And if you’ve ever felt like life just kept piling on - I hope it resonates

One of my TikTok videos got a lot of traction (for a brand new account anyway).

It should’ve felt like momentum.

Instead, I froze.

And perfectionism - mixed with the emotional chaos of a cancer diagnosis - nearly stopped me from publishing this episode at all.

In this honest update, I share why it's taken me so long to publish this podcast episode. Plus:

• What really happened when I (kind of) went viral on TikTok
• The perfectionism spiral that almost derailed this podcast
• A personal update on my cancer treatment timeline - and the limbo it’s creating
• The emotional impact of audience support (and what £100 really meant)
• How I’m simplifying my offers - and why “good enough” is my new business plan (it has to be) The advice I give clients (that I’m finally taking myself)

If you’re navigating public vulnerability, visibility, or just trying to keep your work moving during tough times … I hope you'll resonate.
