Notas del episodio
From sex parties and hedonism to retraining as a therapist, Jemma Hardélle has lived a life that has challenged many of the usual rules around relationships, identity and what a successful life is supposed to look like.
In this episode of Go In Courage, Jemma joins me for an open conversation about the courage it takes to question the scripts we inherit and work out what is actually true for us.
We talk about people pleasing, learning to say no, neurodivergence, relationships, therapy and the stories we can internalise about ourselves from an early age.
Jemma shares how growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia affected the way she saw herself, how her own unconventional relationship experiences led her into ethical non monogamy and polyamory, and why struggling to find a therapist who could truly understand the complexity of her life ultimately inspired her to retrain and become that person for others.
We also explore why relationships sometimes need reviewing as we change, what it means to take the mask off in therapy, and the importance of having somewhere we can tell the truth without fear of judgement.
At its heart, this is a conversation about authenticity. About asking whether the life, relationship or identity that once fitted you still fits today. And having the courage to be honest about the answer.
