Your energy is sacred - it’s the foundation of how you show up in the world. Yet too often, we give it away to people, habits, and situations that drain us. In this episode, I dive deep into the importance of protecting your energy - not out of fear or selfishness, but out of self-respect. I explore what it really means to set boundaries, to walk away from chaos, and to choose peace over pleasing others. This is a reminder that your light deserves to shine without being dimmed by the noise around you. It’s time to reclaim your calm, your clarity, and your power. ✨ Listen now and remember: protecting your energy isn’t about building walls - it’s about honouring your worth.

For years, many of us believe home is a place - a building, a town, a set of familiar walls. But what happens when that place no longer feels safe, when the walls start to echo with versions of who we used to be? In this deeply personal episode, I unpack the true meaning of home - beyond bricks and memories. I share my journey of letting go of old definitions, finding belonging in connection, and realising that home isn’t somewhere you find but it’s something you feel. This is a story of rediscovery, healing, and reclaiming your sense of self. It’s an invitation to stop searching outside yourself and start coming home to who you are. ✨ Listen now and remember: home isn’t a place — it’s a feeling.

There comes a point in everyone’s life when something inside you says — enough. Enough pretending. Enough shrinking. Enough carrying the weight of what no longer serves you. In this episode, I get real about reaching that breaking point - not as a moment of weakness, but as a moment of power. I share how choosing yourself, setting boundaries, and walking away from what drains you can be the most courageous act of self-love there is. This is for anyone who’s tired of settling, tired of hiding, and ready to reclaim their energy, their worth, and their voice. It’s raw. It’s honest. And it might just be the reminder you’ve been waiting for. ✨ Listen now and remember: you don’t have to carry it all anymore. Enough really is enough.

Some endings don’t break you - they free you. In this episode, I explore how letting go of people, roles, and relationships that no longer fit can open space for peace, growth, and self-discovery. Because sometimes what feels like loss is really life clearing space for what’s true. ✨ Not everyone you lose is a loss - some are lessons that lead you home.

Following on from Part 1, The Illusion of “Good Vibes Only,” I dive deeper into what happens after we stop pretending everything’s fine. This episode explores how to move from forced positivity to real, grounded peace - where healing comes from honesty, not performance. ✨ Because peace isn’t found by avoiding the dark - it’s found by learning to breathe within it.

We’ve all heard it — “Stay positive.” “Keep your vibes high.” “Just focus on the good.” But what happens when positivity becomes a mask? When the pressure to stay “in the light” makes us disconnect from what’s real?   In this episode, I unpack the hidden cost of forced positivity -  how “good vibes only” can silence real emotions and block true healing. Through personal reflection and a guided moment, I invite you to slow down, feel deeply, and remember that it’s okay not to be okay.   Because peace isn’t found in pretending everything’s fine - it’s found in accepting what is.   ✨ Real strength isn’t in avoiding the dark, but in learning to walk through it.   Stay tuned for Part 2, where I dive deeper into how to move from forced light to genuine peace — and how to build a grounded, honest kind of positivity that lasts.

You’ve walked through storms that should’ve broken you—and yet, here you are. This episode is for the part of you that’s tired but still trying. This episode will remind you that real strength isn’t about never falling - it’s about rising again. You always did. And you always will.

This might be one of the most important truths you’ll ever hear - your life changes the moment you start believing in yourself. Not halfway. Not when things are perfect. But now as you are. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to romanticise your life not in a fantasy sense, but in a way that helps you see the value in your own story. It’s about taking ownership, trusting your gut, and stepping into the main role instead of watching from the sidelines. If you’ve been holding back because of fear, doubt, or the opinions of others, this one’s for you. Because nothing changes until you decide to back yourself. This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a reminder. You’ve got one life, so make it count

In this heartfelt and empowering episode of Why So Glum Chum, I explore one of life’s most profound truths — that real acceptance can’t be earned. Through calm reflection and soulful insight, I remind is that our worth isn’t defined by others’ approval, but by our willingness to be authentic and true to ourselves. Denis delves into the pain of seeking acceptance from family, friends, and society — and the freedom that comes when we stop trying to fit into someone else’s idea of who we should be. This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that we are already enough, just as we are.

🎙️ Episode 1: 27,375 In this first episode of Why So Glum, Chum?, I explore the idea that the average human life lasts around 27,375 days — and ask the question: how are we spending them? Through honest reflection, humour, and heart, I dive into the weight of everyday life, the beauty in small moments, and the importance of noticing what truly matters. It’s a reminder that even on the heavy days, there’s still light to be found — and that every single day is another chance to begin again.
