Invisible : When did you disappear from your own life?

When was the last time you actually felt like you?

Not productive. Not useful. Not organised, supportive or strong. Just you.

In this first solo episode, I’m talking about how women slowly disappear from their own lives. Not through one dramatic decision, but through hundreds of tiny moments: saying yes when you mean no, avoiding conflict, putting your own wants off and becoming the reliable, capable woman who never makes a fuss.

You can love your life and still admit that something needs to change. You can be visible to everyone around you while feeling completely absent from your own needs, voice, ambitions and boundaries. This isn’t about blaming yourself or becoming somebody new. It’s about recognising where you’ve been making yourself smaller and remembering that invisibility may be where you are, but it isn’t who you are.

As you listen, finish this sentence honestly:

“If I’m completely honest, I’m tired of pretending that…”

Who you learnt to be isn’t necessarily who you have to remain.
