Hello Reader,

​
I want to talk about a kind of tiredness that words don’t really cover.

The kind that seeps into your bones.

The kind that makes even walking up the stairs feel like climbing a mountain.

​

When my hypothyroidism first really kicked off after having my children, that’s what it was like.

Looking back, I think it started much earlier, maybe after glandular fever in my teens, but pregnancy was what tipped it over the edge.

I remember standing halfway up the stairs, two little kids in the house, and looking up like the top step was Everest.

My legs wouldn’t move. My brain was foggy. I couldn’t think straight.

Some days, I couldn’t even stay awake. I’d be sitting with the kids, fighting to keep my eyes open, terrified I might nod off when they needed me most.

When my husband got home from work each day, the relief was so huge I could’ve cried.

Because I’d made it through another day that felt impossible.

​

That kind of bone-tiredness changes everything. Your world starts to shrink - first it’s saying no to nights out, then skipping meet-ups with friends, then suddenly the world outside your bed feels a million miles away.

Life gets smaller, and so does hope.

If you’re in that place right now, I want to tell you something really important: it can change.

I’ve been right at rock bottom - after thyroid cancer, surgery, depression, and being stuck on the wrong dose of meds.

I know what it’s like to feel like life will never be good again. But I also know this: it can get better.

Today, my life looks completely different.

My medication is finally right for me. My diet and stress levels are in check.

My energy is back. I laugh again. I go out with friends. I’ve even got tickets for a gig this weekend, and I’ll be dancing late into the night - something I once thought I’d never do again.

So if you’re lying in bed or on the sofa right now, wondering if things will ever feel easy again, please hold on to this truth: you can rebuild.

​
​With the right support, the right roadmap, and the right steps, life can open up again.

Your tiny takeaway for today:

​
​✨ Rest without guilt.
✨ Eat in a way that supports your body, not punishes it.
✨ Believe - even just a little - that better days are still waiting for you.

Because they are.

​

​

With love and fire,
​
