One broken cat flap. One very suspicious cat. And somehow, my mind had me cancelling our summer holiday.

In this episode, I share how one small moment sent my thinking miles ahead of what was actually happening—and straight into the Thought Trap. Because the thought train is how we get there. The trap is believing the destination is reality.

I recently came across a poem I'd written years ago, and it reminded me of the quiet agreement I used to have with life: I'll be okay when... In this episode, I explore why so many of us live that way and the freedom I've found in seeing it differently.

Have you ever noticed that whatever you're feeling, your mind immediately points towards the opposite? When we're lonely, it promises connection. When we're uncertain, it longs for certainty. When we're overwhelmed, it paints a picture of an easier life. What if this isn't a problem to fix, but simply the way a survival mind works?

In this episode, I shares a personal story from her experience with panic attacks and introduces a simple metaphor that's become central to her understanding: the back door. What if we've been innocently walking away from ourselves... without ever realising it? A gentle conversation about feelings, survival, and what it really means to come HOME.
