Episode notes

What happens when life doesn’t slow down… even when your body is telling you to?

In this raw and relatable episode of Inside My Mind, we step into a morning fuelled by broken sleep, physical pain, and the never-ending mental load of everyday life. From a barking dog at 1am to a painful back strain that makes even simple movements a challenge, this episode captures the reality of pushing through when you’re exhausted.

But underneath the fatigue is something deeper.

This is an honest reflection on the juggle of being a solo mum. Managing work, parenting, finances, and the constant “life admin” that never seems to end. It’s about the invisible weight so many carry, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep going anyway.

There’s humour, honesty, and a moment we can all relate to: wishing, just briefly, that someone else could handle the boring stuff.

👉 If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or just plain tired, this episode will feel like someone finally saying it out loud.
