Healed. But still hurting sometimes…

We do the work, we go to therapy, we understand our past... but the overwhelm in the present doesn’t always go away.

Not only I don’t like how the “healing” term implies that we’re broken.

But it’s very limiting. It lures you into an endless search for a cure.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “stuck in progress,” this one is for you.

1077 days ago everything changed.

I went complete T-total. Sober. Alcohol-free. Hangover-free.

Ni****ne and bad relationships remained my only addiction for a bit, but at least that wouldn’t get me killed instantly.

Cause it’s hard to tell when you start not having handovers anymore, but your memory starts failing you.

My last drink was in Vietnam, a cold local beer in a small restaurant in Da Nang.

I remember that one. 8th June 2023. A year after the breakup that shattered me back to my senses.

2026, I’m now living in Asia (Bangkok), smoke-free for 2 years, booze-free for almost 3 years, I still make bad dating decisions sometimes, but I’m the fittest I’ve ever been.

This is coming from someone who swore she’d never quit smoking, but who did after 20 years.

This is coming from someone who used whiskey as mouth wash when wisdom-tooth pain kicked in (don’t worry I removed them and re-aligned my teeth since).

I guess that’s just a very long winded way to say:

No matter where you are right now, it doesn’t determine your becoming.

As a traveler, digital nomad or whatever label you want to slap on geographical freedom, one of the biggest treasure is one of our biggest curse.

In between identity crisis, that chase for a home outside of ourself is what’s keeping us lost.

A year ago, I gathered a panel of 3 other people who have lived all around the world and know what it is to leave behind your family, the country where you were born, and embrace a life living out of a suitcase and storage units.

The consensus was real… maybe the solution is in finding a home within…

When you’re misaligned, everything feels heavier.

Choosing your path isn’t necessarily picking the easiest options.

But choosing your hard starts by getting to know yourself better.

22/03/2026

How many times you held yourself back?

From sharing how you feel, from even feeling what came at you.

Feeling inadequate and alone in your pain.

Untold stories chain us back.

My memoir is the reminder that we’re not alone in whatever life throws at us.

You can join the waitlist so we remember together.

Success is determined by the quality of our relationships.

Simon’s secret for a long lasting marriage?

Curiosity + Humility + Communication.

This goes for friends, clients, family, colleagues, partners.

The ones worth the commitment and the energy. The ones who are your constant.

The ones that make the true difference, shape your day to day, your person and your future.

The precious relationships who hold you as you are and support change in you.

Tag and share with someone you’re grateful to have in your life ☺️🙏💛

What if you focused on you?

Can we really win in life when we lose ourselves?

16/03/2026

Fixing others isn’t gonna fix us.

Mostly because nobody needs fixing.

Everyone is on their own journey, where of course we can contribute and support.

But it ain’t serving anyone to be a saviour.

Certainly not you.

The irony isn’t lost on me. 👇

I was head down working on a product launch… catering to finding ourselves back after life’s hard times…

(breakups, losing your job, the loss of someone, health scares and big life changes)...

…but then… well… I got dumped.

A great reminder for when the rug is suddenly pulled from under you.

From when you feel so blind sided you start questioning yourself and your sanity.

A great reminder for the shame and embarrassment that overwhelms every single part of your soul even when rationally you know that it is not about you.

A great reminder for how we get caught up in things, in the pain, in not knowing how to process things even when we have blueprints, frameworks and all the shebang of knowledge we’ve been sold, we’ve built, and we know already.

We’re just humans.

I guess that’s me saying that I’m sitting with my pain.

Processing.

Eventually I’ll open a space for you to sit with me if you’d like, cause one thing I’ve learned in this life is that none of us is alone in any struggle we go through.

If you gave up on the idea to change others, what is one tiny thing that you’d change about yourself?

06/03/2026

Have you ever survived on crumbs?

The tiny scraps of external validation you convince yourself are enough.

They keep you hungry. Starving.

But they also keep you hoping. And hope is a hell of a drug.

I got very good at surviving on crumbs. In work. In love. In the story I told myself about what I deserved.

It took me years to understand that the problem wasn’t the people offering crumbs. It was the part of me that believed I should be grateful for them.

These days, I ask different questions: “why am I at this table?”

You can’t recognise crumbs until you’ve tasted the whole meal.
