275: Life Update Volume 8

Chris Sandel: Welcome to Episode 275 of Real Health Radio. You can find the show notes and the links talked about as part of this episode at www.seven-health.com/275.

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Real Health Radio. I’m your host, Chris Sandel. I’m a nutritionist and a coach, and I help clients to fully recover.

Before we get started, I want to mention that next week I’m going to be reopening my practice to new clients. My passion is helping clients reach a place of full recovery, even if the eating disorder has been present for many years or decades.

It probably goes without saying, but eating disorders create many problems. There are obviously the physical symptoms – digestive issues, feeling cold, osteoporosis or osteopenia, period stopping, anaemia, hair falling out, frequent urination day and night, sleep issues, the reduction of concentration or ability to focus or even just to sit down and read a book. There are psychological problems that occur – the fear of certain foods, the fear of weight gain, of taking time off exercise, the increased rigidity or obsessional thinking.

But I think most importantly, and the area that has the biggest impact, is the quality of life – the isolation and disconnection that it causes, the lack of freedom to truly do as you want to do, the constant fear and anxiety that isn’t just about food, but infiltrates so many aspects of life. And yes, an eating disorder can be a solution to many of life’s problems, i.e., sense of control, a way to avoid uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. But it’s a solution that makes life much smaller, and it’s a solution that often started many, many years ago, when you were much younger, and is no longer serving you in the way that it once was, and that you want to change this, even if there is fear and ambivalence and uncertainty about what this means.

I truly believe in full recovery. It’s what I help clients to achieve. Improving their physical health and seeing changes that they thought were impossible – for example, I had a client last week have her period return after 20 years, something she didn’t believe was going to happen. Or changes in psychology and beliefs and learning to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, and seeing that you are able to tolerate this and you are able to still make choices that are in alignment with your values and the life you truly want to live. You can feel present with a partner or with your kids in a way that you haven’t been able to. To be able to set boundaries, even if this feels uncomfortable. To get back the precious time that the eating disorder is costing you each and every day, and to feel powerful and excited about this new life and what is possible.

If you want to experience these changes in your life, I would love to help. Please send an email over to info@seven-health.com with the subject line ‘Coaching’, and I can then send over further details and we can have a recovery strategy call. I only have seven spots available, and it’s likely that this will be the last time that I take on clients for this year. So if you want this, then please get in contact. The email address, again, is info@seven-health.com.

This week, I am doing a life update. This is the eighth time of doing one of these. The last one was back in February 2022, so it has been a while, and a lot has happened in that time.

00:03:56

We’ve moved to Scotland

The first thing that I want to mention is that we moved up to Scotland. I mentioned this in December time, when I released the end-of-year review of favourite books and favourite music and all that kind of thing. We moved up here in December time, so just over six months ago, and when we moved up here, the whole place was covered in snow. It looked like we’d moved to a ski village, whereas now it is actually very sunny and very green and is glorious, really.

I really enjoyed the move up here. We all have. Me, Ali, Ramsay, have really enjoyed being up here. We’re enjoying the summer, and I think one of the things – it wasn’t a big reason for moving up here, but it was one of the things that I reflected upon last summer: once the temperature gets above about 21-22 degrees, it’s not particularly pleasant in the UK. It’s fine if you’re lying on a beach or if you’re somewhere where it makes sense for it to be warm, but in the UK, from my perspective, it doesn’t and anything above that just becomes pretty uncomfortable and not very enjoyable. So it’s been nice having – we’ve had a beautiful summer so far, and most of the time it’s maxing out at like 22 or 23 degrees, which is perfect and exactly what I want.

We’ve been super lucky with the house that we got. We sold our place down in Surrey and then wanted to just rent up here to start with because we weren’t exactly sure where we wanted to be; we weren’t exactly sure what we wanted in a house. So we have rented, and there wasn’t much available when we were looking to rent, but we really feel like we got really lucky with the place that we have. It’s a really nice house in about – I think we’ve got three and a half or four acres. It’s just nestled into the hills, it’s super private. There are other houses around here, but when we’re in our place, we don’t see or hear anyone. I’ll talk about the fact that I’ve had my parents come recently, I’ve had some friends come up here a number of times and stay with us, and everyone is really blown away with how beautiful it is around here. As I’m talking, I’m looking out the window and it’s just stunning scenery with big, tall Christmas-type trees everywhere.

Yeah, it’s really nice to be here, and there’s something very lovely about the feel of the house and the land and just being outside and being able to enjoy it.

One of the things that is also nice about it is we have the possibility of being able to buy this house. It was on the market to sell before we rented it, so we’re going to just see how things continue to go. We’re in no rush with this, but it’s nice to know that that is an option. And it is now feeling very much like home.

00:07:21

Putting down roots in Scotland

I think it was in the February time we got some chickens, so we now have four chickens, which is lovely. It’s really nice every day to walk out and to be able to collect fresh eggs. They just roam around the property, so they’re having a really nice time exploring around.

Recently, Ali has got a couple of horses, so she bought a horse and then she has a companion horse on loan – because, if you don’t know anything about horses, they are herd animals, so you don’t just have the one. It’s lovely to have horses on our land. There’s stables here already, and for her to be able to just putter around and play with them and be with them – this is something that is a huge passion of hers and something that she’s done all of her life, so she’d always dreamed of being able to have it on her own property. Every other time previously, she had to have it somewhere else. It’s just a lovely change that she’s able to experience that.

We’ve found people up here are really friendly. It’s been a really big – I was going to say shock, but not a shock, because I think I’d known that from my experiences of coming up here previously. But just how obvious the contrast is, definitely from living in London, but even when we were living in the countryside down in England. There isn’t the same friendliness and openness that we’ve experienced while being up here. It definitely feels like we’re making friends and finding our community and finding the people that we want to spend time with.

We’ve gone about this in different ways; I joined the local golf course, which is a great course. So I’m playing golf and making friends through that. Ali’s joined different groups and has gone and done different events, and I’ll talk about some of the things that she’s done more specifically with that. But yeah, that has helped us to start to meet people and have more of a sense of community. I think when I reflect on the fact that we’d moved out of London for nearly 10 years, in all of that time we didn’t really find anything like we found up here in the first six months. So it’s a real change, and even with the home educating – which, again, I’ll get into in more detail – that has also been another way of us starting to meet people.

It’s also been really wonderful to have family close by. Ali has her mum and her sister up here, who live about half an hour from us. I haven’t had any family nearby for 20-ish years, since I moved from Sydney to the UK, and Ali had moved down to London around the same time that I moved over, so it’s been 20 years that she’s lived away from family. It’s been nice to be able to have some support, to be able to see Ramsay’s Nana, and him getting to spend time with her and to have time with his cousins. It’s just nice to have this in our life in a way that it hasn’t really been for a very long time.

I am constantly struck with the beauty of being here. About 20 minutes from where we are is the Cairngorms National Park. There’s just so much to go and see and do in there in terms of lovely walks and scenery, in terms of lochs and places you can swim. We had some friends over last week and found a place where we were completely on our own; there was just the five of us, and there was a river that we were able to swim in with a little waterfall. Just the most crystal-clear, beautiful water that you could drink while swimming. It does feel like no place I’ve been before, so I’m constantly struck with the beauty of it.

There’s obviously incredible golf. Scotland is known for creating the sport, and I’m a very avid golfer, so it’s been really nice to be able to play a lot of golf. I’ve had some friends come up and we’ve played golf. When my folks were here, I was able to play golf with my dad. We’re just really loving all of the spaces and the areas that we can go to.

We’ve also found from a food perspective really nice restaurants and cafes and places to go, even more than what we had before. And given that where we were before – we were an hour out of London; there was a lot higher population density, there was a lot more places you could go – we still didn’t find the kinds of places that we’ve been able to find up here in a very short amount of time.

One of the cafes that we found is a place called Tarmachan, and they do really nice food. They also, in the summertime, do a supper club. The roof outside the building that the café is in is owned by this architect who has created the most incredible space. So we’re able to have delicious food outside, and we didn’t have that, even though we had that proximity to London. So that’s been really nice.

We’ve really been making the most of the summertime. It doesn’t get dark here until very, very late at night, so recently we had friends up and we were having a barbecue, and it must’ve been quarter past eleven, 20 past eleven, we were roasting marshmallows on a fire and it is still completely light. We didn’t have to have lights on outside or anything along those lines. At this point, it’s fully dark by quarter to twelve, midnight-ish, and then by 3:00-3:30, it’s light again. So there’s not a lot of darkness. But we’ve got some good blinds on our windows, so it’s not really having an effect on an inability to sleep. But we are going to bed a lot later and really making the most of the sunshine.

And even when it was wintertime, we were able to make the most of that as well. Yes, there would be a lot of darkness, but where we are is known as a ‘dark skies’ area, so it is incredible for looking at stars. Many a night in winter, I would just walk outside and look up for about 25 minutes, half an hour, and just be in awe of what I could see.

During the wintertime, we were able to go skiing and really got into embracing the winter. I think the thing with being up here is it is a place that is going to have a lot of darkness and a real winter, and I didn’t want to be in a situation where I’d enjoy the summers and then the rest of the year I’d be begrudging the fact that it’s horrible weather. We really wanted to make the most of it. There were days where it was very, very cold; it was like -15, and yet it was beautiful blue skies, so you put on enough layers and you could then go out and get to enjoy the scenery even though it was very cold.

I’m going on and on about it, but I am really happy that we have made this move and really happy to be up here and in the place that we have. It’s been nice because the place that we have is much bigger. There’s lots of spare bedrooms, so we’ve been able to have friends stay, come up here. It just feels like there’s a lot more opportunities that we have while being here.

00:16:44

Update on Ali

I want to mention now Ali – and I think if you had listened to the update last time, Ali had fallen off her horse and had torn her tricep from her elbow. A lot of the podcast, what I was talking about was connected to that because it had a really big impact on our life.

I’m pleased to report that she has made a full recovery and has complete movement in her arm and is back horse riding. This is something, as I said earlier, that’s a real passion of hers, so I’m really glad that she’s back doing this, that she didn’t let that injury stop her from doing something that she loves.

One of the things that she’d been doing prior to moving up here, when we lived in Surrey, she would go to a group called Singing Mamas. This was not quite a choir, but it was like a singing group, quite an informal singing group, where the real impetus behind it was about community and bringing women together who were at all stages of life. So you could come if you just had a kid and you could bring the child along; it would have women who were older, and just a space for them to all sing together. There was tea and cake, of course, because that’s what you do in the UK. But yeah, it was a place that she would go, and she would do it once a week.

She decided when she moved up here that she wanted to continue on with that and wanted to create a place that she could keep up with the singing and create that community, so she did the training for that and has now set up her own group up here, which she’s been running for the last six or seven weeks. It’s been really, really incredible to see what she’s been able to do in that short amount of time in terms of how confidently she’s stepped into that role of being not just the participant and turning up to that group, but then being the leader and the organiser of the group and learning songs and doing the songs with everyone. I’ve been really inspired watching her do that. It’s really incredible to see.

She also started, when we got up here – she found a company called Horseback UK, and what they do is equine therapy. They do equine therapy with returned servicemen and vets; they do it with schools and kids who are struggling. She wanted to help out because she really liked what the organisation was doing, and this is something she’s been doing now for many months since we’ve been up here. It gave her an opportunity to work with horses, which is obviously something that she loves, but it also was a way for her to see horses being used in a way that is helping people’s lives. She definitely has a real passion in terms of work around healing and trauma and all of these kinds of things, so I think this was something that was great for her to get involved in and to still be involved in.

She also is still doing her kundalini yoga teacher training, and this is something that she personally has done for a number of years and has found it immensely beneficial for many reasons – from a physical standpoint in terms of helping her body, but mostly I would say, or largely, to do from an emotional standpoint, from a healing standpoint. This is something that she is very passionate about and something she wanted to train in. Not necessarily to be a teacher; that may happen, that may not happen, but it was something she just wanted to deepen her knowledge with and be something she could potentially use in some way going forward. So that’s something she’s been focusing on.

00:21:33

Home educating for Ramsay

And then the thing that probably – not just probably, but the thing that does take up most of her time is that we home educate Ramsay. Rams will be six in September, so in theory he was at an age that he would’ve gone to school or started school last September, but we decided that actually, home educating is the right thing for him.

I’ve talked – I think it was on the previous podcast – as well about some of the challenges that we faced when we tried to have him go to forest kindy and to be in that environment, and that he really struggled and it just didn’t work for him. So as time went on, we came to the realisation that at least for now, home educating would be the right thing for him and the right thing, really, for our whole family.

Ali is the one that is doing a lot of that and is the one that’s spending the majority of time with him connected to this. He’s at an age where learning is really about play. It isn’t sitting down – we’re not trying to recreate school at home. We’re trying to help him learn and help him to love learning and help him to be curious and fascinated about the world and to ask questions, and we’re able to do that through play.

00:23:19

Update on Ramsay

So let me talk a little about Rams. As I said, he’s nearly six. He has been thriving since we’ve moved up to Scotland. I think it’s been a really beneficial change for him. I can’t categorically say that it’s Scotland, that that developmental change wouldn’t have taken place and it’s just the fact that he’s older, but it definitely feels like there’s been a shift in lots of things since he’s been up here.

One of the things that he wasn’t so into was hanging out with other kids. He’s just been of that way that he much prefers being with adults; he struggled being around other kids. So it was great that when we got up here, there was an opportunity for him to do ski lessons. There’s a dry ski slope that they were doing ski lessons on, and he said yeah, he would be up for doing that. So as part of a home ed group, he participated. There were six or eight or ten of them that were doing this each and every week, and he turned up, and he was able to participate in doing that. That was a huge change, because it wasn’t something that was able to be done before.

He did gymnastics. There was a friend of Ali’s who’s got a young daughter who’s basically the same age as Rams and she was doing gymnastics, so we went and watched her class and he said yeah, he would be up for doing that. He then signed up and we did a block of gymnastics where he was doing that every Saturday, and again, was in a large group, was having to learn how to be in that environment. That was something that previously he would’ve been unable to do, and yet he was then able to. So a really big shift and a real openness from him to try things and do things that wasn’t there before.

He’s become most recently very obsessed with golf. I think I first bought him some golf clubs when he was three or something, so it had been a while, and they’d stuck around. He really hadn’t shown any interest in it, or a very passing interest in it, and then one day we went to the driving range and he joined me and he really enjoyed it. He was like, “Can we go again?” So the next week we went again, and for the next handful of weeks we went, and pretty soon he was asking constantly, “Can we play golf? Can we play golf? Can we play golf?”

So we got a set of golf clubs and he joined a local course. I think in the first week of becoming a member there, he played six out of the seven days, and he absolutely adores it. Every day he’s going out and hitting golf balls outside. As I said, we’ve got three and a half, four acres, so there’s plenty of places he can go and swing a golf club and hit a golf ball. He just adores it and wants to do nothing but play golf. He’s also started watching golf and knows all of the players, all of their history, the things they’ve won. Very, very into it.

So it’s nice, and I’m very much encouraging this hobby. I’m obviously someone who loves golf, so it’s nice to have someone I can go and play with and to see how excited he is about it and to see in the space of three or three and a half months, just how much he’s developed with it, how good his hand-eye coordination is. Yeah, it’s nice to see him have this real passion and hobby.

He’s definitely gone through different phases with different things, so I’m seeing how long this will last for, if this is something that at some point he will get bored with. But at least at this stage, it doesn’t feel like it’s going to change any time soon. If anything, it’s becoming something that he’s enjoying more and more.

In terms of the home ed-ing side of things, as I said, it’s very much about play and it’s very much child-led. A lot of it – for example, we can sit down and play a game of Monopoly. As part of Monopoly, he’s having to make decisions about what to buy, what to sell. We’ll negotiate about properties. He originally had the kids’ version of Monopoly, and then we got the adult version of Monopoly. He’s then having to do the quick math in terms of working out how much things cost and then having to get money out of the bank.

I think I’ve commented on the podcast before, math is a real strength of his and something that he really loves. This is very evident when playing Monopoly or in lots of other ways. That’s a lot of how the education is. It’s finding things that are fun that he can then – where it doesn’t feel like it’s school. He has a real interest in math, he has a real interest in science, in space and learning all of those different things. He has an interest in languages, so we’ve done Spanish on Duolingo, and that was something that really helped in terms of his ability to read. He taught himself to read through doing Duolingo Spanish, where he would learn how to read both English and Spanish at the same time.

We play chess and checkers. It’s a very humbling thing to be beaten. I think we started playing chess quite a while ago – I think he was still probably four at the time or may have just turned five. But yeah, a very humbling thing to be beaten by a five-year-old at chess. Even recently, my dad was over here, and he’s a pretty decent chess player, and he beat Rams in chess and then they had another game and Rams was able to beat him in chess. He really enjoys that kind of logic and figuring those things out.

I would definitely describe him as an autodidact in that he’s very much self-taught and wants to be self-taught. He’s finally agreed that he will have some golf lessons, but up until this point he was like, “No, I will figure it out on my own. I will learn how to do this myself. I don’t want someone telling me how to do something.” Even with chess, I originally showed him how to play chess and we had a couple of games, and then there would be times when he would just sit down and play chess against himself, or he’d set up one of his dolls and play chess against one of his dolls, where he’s doing both of them. Or the same with checkers.

It’s been great seeing how he’s progressing and has progressed over this time. He also has got a lot better with being around other kids. This is something that we’ve worked on at a pace that’s been right for him. If I think back maybe a year ago or a while ago, going to the park and spending time at the park when there was not too many people there, and spending time there until I could see that it was becoming too much and then we would leave, or there would be too many people that turned up, so it was “Okay, let’s just go now.” But by doing it in a way that has been slow and appropriate for him, there’s been a real change.

We were at the beach – which may sound strange to be at the beach in Scotland, but it was a truly beautiful day, blue sky, it was warm. I had my first swim in the North Sea. It was pleasant. It was definitely colder than what I was used to, but it was a really nice swim. But anyway, we were there with someone who we just met through the home ed community, and she was there with her two daughters. I think they were four and five or five and six. It was just really nice to see that within a short amount of time, Rams was playing with them and that they were enjoying being together and playing little games. Again, something that was just not on the cards that long ago.

I can see within him there is this increased resilience, this increased ability to manage and handle emotions, and it’s been a long time coming, but we’ve made and he’s made really big strides with all this.

For me, it’s been really enjoyable to have this bond with him because really, for the first four or four and a half years, he didn’t want a lot to do with me. Definitely Ali was his absolute number one, and if she was around, he would really want to be doing stuff with her and didn’t really want to be interacting with me often. In terms of cuddles or anything physical, it was always a very big no. If I’d say, “Can I have a hug?” or “Can I give you a cuddle?”, it would be a no, and he would mean that and I would respect that, whereas now that has very much changed. He loves hanging out with me. In a lot of ways I’m now the number one. He is very open to us having a hug or a kiss, which is really lovely. It’s something that I’ve waited for for a long time, so I’m very grateful that that has now shifted. We’ve definitely got the bond over sport and golf and both watching sport and playing it.

And just the ability for Ali to go away. As part of the yoga teacher training, there’s been three occasions so far where she’s been away for a week, and previously that would’ve been if not impossible, a really big challenge. There would’ve been lots of big emotions coming out beforehand and then after she got back. And now that doesn’t happen. We’ve been able to have some really nice time together.

It does feel like he’s entered this new phase and feels more grown up, and there’s just less stress and chaos than there was before. It was great – we had my parents over recently and we had some friends staying with us recently, and he really enjoyed having them around and being with them and interacting with them.

00:35:40

Update on me

On to me. As I said, I’m absolutely adoring being up in Scotland and the life we have here. It does in so many ways feel like life is easier than it has been in a really long time. I’m constantly grateful and reminding myself of how much things have changed and to really appreciate the difference, because I think as things change slowly, you can forget. But I’m very, very aware of how different life is now than it was six months ago or a year ago or two years ago.

I had my parents come over here recently, and this was the first time I’d seen them in the flesh since the very beginning of 2020. Being from Australia, there was obviously very tough lockdowns and an inability to go and visit, and it’s been a really long time since I’d seen them. They were over here with us for nearly three weeks. They had a week in London first and then had a week in Paris before going back home. But it was really, really nice to have them here.

Prior to the pandemic, they were getting over here at least once a year. My mum was coming over up to three times a year. I always love being able to spend time with them. I have a really good relationship with my parents. I love being able to have in-depth conversations with them. It was just much more challenging to be able to do that via Zoom over the last handful of years, so to be able to have them here, I was really, really grateful for that.

We got glorious weather the whole time they were here; I don’t think it rained for the entirety of the time they were here. So we got to show them Scotland at its absolute best. We had time here; we then went to the west coast, which is really, really beautiful. I’ve never been to New Zealand, but my parents kept saying that it reminds them a lot of New Zealand and how beautiful it is over there.

So we got to go to the west coast; we went to a place called Dumfries House, which they’d been wanting to go to for many years. I didn’t know anything about it, but there’s obviously been TV shows made about it that they watched, and it’s a property that was bought by – at the time, he was Prince Charles, but he’s now King Charles, and it was then re-done up and restored. It has incredible gardens and all of this old furniture made by a guy called Chippendale, who I knew absolutely nothing about but is worth an absolute fortune because there’s so few of them. So yeah, it was lovely to go and be able to spend time there and enjoy the grounds and enjoy the food and everything that was on offer there.

So I had a really wonderful time with them, and I’m looking forward to this being a more regular thing, of us getting back into the routine of them being here much more regularly than they have been.

I’ve been doing therapy for the last year. When did I start it? Yeah, I probably started about a year ago, ad then there was a period where it stopped while we were dealing with everything with the house and moving, and then started up again maybe in February time and have been doing it pretty consistently since then, whether that’s every week or every other week. I’ve been finding it a really huge help.

In a lot of ways, getting me to be focusing on a lot of the stuff that I work on with clients in terms of sitting with emotions and dealing with the uncomfortableness of emotions and talking about different aspects of my life or things connected to my childhood or my relationship – it’s been something that is well overdue. I wish in many ways that I’d done it earlier, but it’s been really helpful in terms of my relationship with Ali, really helpful in terms of me being the kind of parent that I want to be and being able to deal with the difficulty of being a parent and all of the challenges that brings up – I think it’s helped me in terms of how I am with clients and creating the space for them and helping them to navigate difficult thoughts and feelings and emotions. It’s something that I will continue on with. I imagine now, given how I’m noticing how helpful it is, I will continue to get coaching and therapy in some form, I would say indefinitely. So I think that has been a really, really helpful thing for me.

I did a number of programmes with Laura Schoenfeld. Laura I had on the podcast many, many years ago. She trained as a dietitian and has now moved into helping other businesses and practitioners to grow their business and scale their business, more in that ‘coaching other coaches’ type realm. So I did a couple of her courses, one in December time and another in February time, and I found them to be really, really helpful. It’s part of the impetus or part of the help that I needed to then take my one-on-one stuff and turn it into a programme.

A number of weeks ago, I launched The Fundamentals of Full Recovery, that programme, and I’ve been running that ever since. I’m really loving doing the group coaching or doing a programme that is one-to-many as opposed to just one-to-one. And I absolutely adore the one-to-one work; it is something I’m really passionate about, and I think I’m very good at that work. I feel very blessed that I’m able to do that work in this world and see the transformations that people make, and I also realise that it’s limiting in terms of how many people I can help and how the business can scale.

So I’m really grateful to Laura and grateful for the fact that I’ve done those programmes and that it’s now helping me to take the business in a different direction. I think with time, this is where I’m going to be doing more things – more opportunities that are one-to-many as opposed to just one-to-one, with lots of different ideas in mind with this.

I’ve realised that this year I’m reading and reading books a lot less. I was actually thinking about this recently, like, my gosh, I don’t know what’s going to happen when I get to the end of the year in terms of doing that favourites podcast because there’s not a lot I’ve got to report at this point. But I just feel like I’ve been reading less and doing more things, whether that is playing golf or being with Rams or being with friends. Reading has just not been taking up the time that it had been previously.

00:44:16

Getting back on social media

Then the final thing that I want to mention is that I’m actually getting back on social media. When I say getting back on social media, I mean from a business perspective. It’s probably been nearly two years or somewhere in that vicinity since I came off social media, and I really don’t like a lot of what is going on on social media. For me as an individual, I don’t want to be spending time on Facebook and Instagram, etc. But I’m seeing how helpful it can be from a business perspective and how helpful it can be in terms of helping me in my mission of wanting to serve and help more people.

So I’m going to be getting back on and posting more and using it as a way of interacting and distributing content and information and helpful ideas. I will put a link in the show notes to where I am on social media. It’s really going to be Facebook and Instagram, and the handles for both of those is Seven Health Company. If you’re not already following, you can go there and start following, and if you are, you will start to see content coming out, which hasn’t happened for a long time. But yeah, I feel I can be able to put out content and use them in a way that I’m also feeling will be healthy for me – because I didn’t before feel that social media was helping me in any way, and I felt that it wasn’t leading in the direction I wanted it to. But I feel in a much better place to be able to do that, so yeah, keep an eye out for that stuff, and if you’re not already following, then start to.

That is it for this week’s episode. As I mentioned at the top, I am going to be opening my practice to new clients starting next week. If you want to reach a place of full recovery and see a complete change in your quality of life, then I would love to help. Please send an email to info@seven-health.com with the subject line ‘Coaching’, and then I can send over further details and we can have a recovery strategy call.

As I said at the top, I only have seven slots available, and it is likely that this is going to be the last time I take on new clients this year. So if you want this, then please get in contact. The address, again, is info@seven-health.com.

That is it. I’ll be back next week with another episode. Take care, and I’ll catch you then.
