Chapter Four: Books Can Be a Time Machine

Episode 4

Monday, July 21, 2025 • Duration 10:41

Sometimes, books do more than tell a story — they bring us back to someone we’ve lost.

In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m reflecting on how reading detective fiction connects me to my mum, who passed away several years ago. From Agatha Christie to Ruth Rendell, these were the books she loved — and now when I read them, it’s like stepping into a world we once shared.

I talk about why certain books feel like time machines, pulling us into the past in comforting, unexpected ways. Whether you're grieving or simply missing someone, stories can help bridge that space.

📌 In this episode:

How reading crime fiction brings me closer to my mum
Why books we revisit hold emotional weight beyond nostalgia
A reminder that sharing what you read — even online — can echo through time

Chapter Three: Why I Journal (Even When Life Feels OK)

Episode 3

Sunday, July 20, 2025 • Duration 12:20

In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m talking about journaling — not the aesthetic kind or the hyper-productive kind, but the kind that creates space. Space to think, to feel, and to figure things out without pressure.

I share how journaling supported me through grief after losing both of my parents just six months apart… and how it continues to help me when I’m stressed, uncertain, or even just in need of a little clarity.

Reflective journaling doesn’t have to take 30 minutes or be beautifully written. Sometimes two minutes of honesty on the page is more than enough.

📌 In this episode:

What journaling means to me (and what it doesn’t)
How it helped me navigate grief and confusion
Why it’s still a daily anchor — even in better times

Chapter Two: Why Books Still Matter

Episode 2

Sunday, July 20, 2025 • Duration 10:24

In this episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m talking about books — not in a critical or academic way, but in a deeply personal one.

I share how reading shaped me as a child, from fairy tale marathons to daily story sessions in my parents’ toy shop. And I talk about why books still matter now — how they comfort us, transport us, and remind us who we are.

This isn’t a review podcast. It’s a celebration of the emotional connection we have to stories… and why that connection still matters in a noisy, fast-moving world.

📌 In this episode:

My earliest memories of reading (and reading to people)
Why a glamorous toy shop employee helped make me a lifelong book lover
The quiet magic of checking out 12 books at a time — and begging for more

Chapter One: The Moment It All Changed

Episode 1

Sunday, July 20, 2025 • Duration 09:15

In this first episode of A Life in Chapters, I’m sharing the moment everything shifted — the quiet realisation that I couldn’t keep performing a version of myself just to fit a brand.

After years of teaching blogging, selling digital products, and showing up as the polished coach… something cracked open. I needed space to speak honestly. To create something slower, softer, and truer.

This isn’t a perfect podcast. There’s no music, no editing — just a mic, a message, and maybe something in it that speaks to your season too.

📌 In this episode:

The moment I knew something had to change
Why I’m not stepping out of my business, just adding a new direction
A gentle reminder that you’re allowed to begin again
