Rock bottom feels like the end, but it can also be the beginning of real change. In this article, I share what I learned after pulling myself out of my lowest point—practical lessons on resilience, self-compassion, and rebuilding from the ground up. From setting boundaries to finding small pockets of hope, these are the raw, unfiltered truths from the other side. Because surviving is one thing, but learning to live again is where the real work begins.

Notes from the Other Side of Rock Bottom

Perfect for those seeking a neurodivergent perspective rooted in honesty, humour, and a bit of salt and vinegar.

Tics, Tantrums & Salted Crisps: My Life with Tourette’s

Love languages can be a great tool for understanding relationships, but they’re not a perfect formula. Over the years, I’ve realised that how we express and receive love can shift with time, experiences, and even the people we’re with. In this piece, I explore my thoughts on love languages, how they’ve shaped my connections, and why flexibility and communication matter more than rigid categories. Love is nuanced, and the way we feel it should be just as unique as we are.
