    A weekend spent with family brought comfort and clarity, but also a tough moment of honesty. After a small setback, I’m learning that recovery, self-awareness, and growth aren’t always linear – and that’s okay.

    Day 13 of my 365-day challenge was about more than progress — it was about love, reflection, and gratitude. On the 13th anniversary with my girlfriend, we opened up, shared our emotions, and reminded ourselves of the power of unconditional love — even through hardship and healing.

    A calm post-birthday reflection on balance, rest, and the impact of alcohol on wellbeing – progress isn’t always about motion, but awareness.

  • Day 11: Another Year Wiser

    Turning 29 brought a mix of reflection, gratitude, and growth. From a 30km birthday hike and meaningful conversations to homemade pizza and a reminder that progress isn’t always measured in numbers, Day 11 was about perspective and peace.
