This isn't polished. There's no fancy music or editing. It's just me - JJ - showing up, hitting record and tearing off the Band-Aid. In this very first episode, I'm introducing myself, I'm introducing myself, sharing why I started this podcast, and what I hope it can become. It's raw, it's real, and its far from perfect... but progress over perfection, right?

In this first full episode, I'm inviting you into my story-the messy, honest, and powerful truth about how small habits helped pull me out of the dark places: depression, burnout, addiction, and all the things we, as women, often carry silently.

And yes, we're even talking about Doctor Loo-my very own porcelain accountability partner. Because healing isn't always glamourous...but it can be real, raw and even a little bit funny.

This episode sets the tone for what's to come. honest conversation, empowering shifts and simple doable habits that can help you heal and reclaim your life.

If you've ever felt stuck, invisible, or just plain tired of starting over...this space is for you. Let's grow through the pain together. - JJ HURTWELL
