In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the radiant Deborah Mendes. We get deep into what it really means to reconnect with yourself after burnout and addiction - through nature, colour, energy, and some beautifully unexpected tools. Deborah shares her journey of healing after exercise addiction, what it taught her about self-worth, identity, and grief, and how she now helps others find meaning and vitality in their lives. This one’s packed with honest chat, lightbulb moments, and a few things you might not have heard of - but will definitely want to try.
