Rock Bottom Isn't Where You Think

Released 8 February 2026 · 44 min

Show Notes

Everyone talks about rock bottom like it's one single moment — a dramatic crash, a wake-up call, a line in the sand. Mine wasn't like that. Mine was months of small surrenders. Giving up on cooking proper meals. Stopping answering the phone. Wearing the same clothes three days running because laundry felt impossible.

In this episode I challenge the idea that you need to hit some catastrophic low before you're allowed to ask for help. I talk about the slow, invisible slide — the kind that nobody notices because you're still showing up, still smiling, still technically functioning. The kind of rock bottom that happens in broad daylight while everyone thinks you're fine.

If you're waiting to hit rock bottom before you get help, this episode might change your mind about what rock bottom actually looks like.
