Send us Fan MailSeason 2, Episode 29:I mark my 21st wedding anniversary and reflect on relationships, love languages and the ordinary things that keep us connected. But this episode is also about something I've been noticing lately — small wins, hope, and slowly learning to trust the good days again.In this episode:• celebrating 21 years of marriage and what I've learnt about commitment• learning the ukulele for a very personal (and slightly questionable 😂) anniversary gift• how a Kelly Clarkson lyric perfectly describes part of living with PTSD• why recognising and celebrating small wins matters• an unexpected night at the theatre that showed me just how far I've come• preparing to share my lived experience with The Change Room• asking “who am I now?” after psychological injury — and beginning to like the answerRecovery doesn't always arrive as one huge breakthrough. Sometimes it's noticing that something you couldn't have handled a year ago is something you can handle today.You can find me on Facebook and Instagram — and don't forget to like and follow.Song of the Week:Kelly Clarkson - Because of Youhttps://youtu.be/Ra-Om7UMSJc?si=GVMd5kFGozy8e0K6Thought of the Week:"Tears fall for a reason, and they are your strength, not weakness"— The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, Charlie Mackesy
