Hi Reader,

I've been thinking about you this week. About how hard you're trying. About how shattered you probably feel right now.

Can I share something deeply personal with you? Something I don't talk about often?

When my kids were little, I was drowning in exhaustion that no one could explain. The doctors kept telling me I was "fine" - that my labs were "normal" - while I physically couldn't make it up a flight of stairs without stopping to catch my breath.

I remember what it feels like? Those precious hours of your day just... disappearing.

​

​

​

I'd push myself every single day to be present for my children. To play with them. To engage.

But inside? I was barely holding on.

And then it happened.

The moment that still makes my stomach drop when I think about it.

I fell asleep while driving with the kids in the car…

Not at night, not during nap time. But in the middle of the day at the traffic lights!.

I was literally suddenly overwhelmed by the bone deep exhaustion that rolled over me like a heavy blanket...

The car behind beeping with frustration when I didn't move woke me up!

When I think about what could have happened...

​

This is what poorly treated hypothyroidism really costs us.

It's not just symptoms on a checklist that doctors can ignore.

It's not just ‘being a bit tired”. "Everyone is a bit tired you know!"

​
Fatigue is a hugely disabling thing

​
And it costs us TIME.

Real, irreplaceable moments of our life we can never get back.

​
​

I missed so much of my children's early years. I was physically there, but not really *there* - you know?

I was the mum who watched from a seat while other parents ran around the playground.

The mum who said "maybe tomorrow" too many times.

​
​

And then came my diagnosis.

First hypothyroidism, then thyroid cancer.

​
​

Do you know what it's like to look your child in the eyes and tell them you have cancer? To see their young face process what that might mean?

​
My son had just come home from primary school.

And I had to have that conversation.

​

Here's what I wish someone had told me years earlier:

​
​

The real bottom line of ignoring thyroid problems isn't about lab values or medication dosages.

​
It's about TIME.
​

• Time we can't get back.
• Time we can't make more of.
• Time we spend surviving instead of living.

​

You can always find another job. Make more money. Buy another house.

​
​But you cannot buy back a single minute of your children's childhood.

You can't recreate the memory of the school nativity play you were too exhausted to really enjoy and were fighting to stay awake through.

​

You can't go back and be fully present for those Sunday afternoon family walks when you had to keep saying "let's head back" because you simply had nothing left to give.

​

I'm not telling you this to scare you or make you feel worse than you already do.

​

I'm telling you because I see you. I see how time is slipping through your fingers.

How many moments are passing by in a blur of fatigue. How you're marking time rather than truly living it.

​
​

And I need you to know: your intuition about your body is right.

​
​

What I Want You To Take Away From This:

​
​

1.Your symptoms are stealing your time right now, even when doctors dismiss them. Every day spent feeling exhausted is a day you're not fully living.

​
​

2. The clock doesn't stop while you're trying to figure this out - life keeps moving forward whether you have the energy to participate or not.

​
​

3. You deserve to be present for your own life - not just physically there, but actually experiencing it.

​
​

4. Time spent fighting for answers is not time wasted - it's an investment in reclaiming all your future moments.

​
​

Listen, I know it's overwhelming.

I know how it feels to watch life happening around you while you're stuck in slow motion. To see photos from events you attended and barely remember being there.

​
​

But I promise you - it doesn't have to be this way.

​
​

The path forward isn't usually a quick fix. It wasn't for me.

But knowing what's really at stake makes finding answers worth fighting for.

​
​

Because the truth is simple: your time is passing RIGHT NOW.

Not someday when you feel better. Not after you've found the perfect doctor or perfect protocol.

​
Right now.

​
​And you deserve to be fully awake and present for every precious and magical moment of it.

​
​

So the next time someone (maybe even your own inner voice) tells you that "it's not that bad" or "you can live with it" - remember what you're really being asked to live without.

​

Time is the only thing we can never make more of.
​

Don't let thyroid problems steal yours.

​
​

With love and fire,
