Fumbling Forward

About Fumbling Forward

A PT for 11 years, now studying to be a Psychotherapist, I'll be taking you along my personal journey, as I continue Fumbling Forward through life trying to be the best version of myself. If you find yourself, like me, reading shelves of self-help books, and in true ADHD style never finishing them, or wondering whether you therapy, then this podcast is for you. I’ll be discussing my journey, how I went from chaotic, to calm, without agonising ‘meditation’. I’ll share stories, some funny, some serious and key things I have learnt, that may change your life the way it has mine.

   E25 - Christmas Feelings, Quantum Physics & How to hack your energy / vibrational frequency

   Hopeful, validating and motivating episode. In this episode, I chat about: The emotional impact of growing up with divorced parents during the holidays What past relationships have taught me—especially the messy, controlling and abusive ones How I’m learning to forgive myself and follow what’s right for me A deep dive into quantum physics, parallel universes, and energy theories And this idea: if slowing down light lets us see the colours inside it... maybe slowing down time lets us see what’s really going on inside us too It’s reflective, a bit all over the place, sometimes emotional, sometimes scientific,but always honest.

   E24 - Toxic relationships, a friends funeral, Spotify wrapped, executive dysfunction & Imposter Syndrome

   Hello hello, we're starting to see a shift! (Filmed Dec 24) I'm sure you can see it too form the first ep! Yup that’s right - another death! Grief seems to be all around at the moment, uncles, friends and colleagues, but weirdly I seem to be managing it ok. A good friend died, she will be very dearly missed - what an incredible woman she was. To her, kindness and glamour. Come listen to how wonderful she was, and what I’ve been thinking that’s been getting me through the overload of grief I’ve had recently. There is still a lot of laughter and joy in this episode, which really goes to show more than one emotion can exist at the same time. Grief and loss is not all there is, and it’s important to remind yourself of this when you’re surrounded by it. I’ve also decided I'm starting to not take life as seriously anymore, and consequently, I’m starting to be funny again! Here’s some things I’ve learned in this episode: It doesn’t matter how much time has passed, you can still reach out to people. How you think other people perceive you, is NOT accurate! Being authentic is a NEED! You can be authentic and then put it to the side too to still enjoy life. It’s not all there is. You DO have all the answers - you don't need to be rescued, if you're reliant on others, you'll always need them, is that why we do it? We also discuss the skill of repeating back what people say, and how it unlocks their minds. There is an update on the noisy neighbours... I've experimented with not caring about what others think, AND I go through my journal with you to share the lessons I learned in each day. This part always blows my mind, the part where we see how many of you are here: To all 1,225 of you here on the journey with me, thank you. A huge warm welcome to the new 568 fumblers! There are 156 (+3) of you on Spotify 🥹 And 536 (+31) on YouTube and a lot of you on socials! You are all, amazing. If you haven’t already done so, please ‘Follow’ or ‘Subscribe’. And as always, I’ll see you in the episode! I’ll trust you to keep yourself safe, and OK. Keep Fumbling Forward, My warmest wishes, Frankie x
