YOU ARE NOT TAKING A STEP BACK. I hear this all the time and I just wanted to remind you that this is nothing to do with your progress. Its more to do with your brain trying to balance out your emotions. If you find yourself saying 'I feel like I take 1 step forward and 10 back' This episode is for you.

I have documented both my birthdays that I have celebrated since my breakup so it only felt right to continue to do so. TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY & I cant believe how far I have come. I am super proud of my self & would love you to virtually celebrate everything single in your 30s with me.

I am not going to lie, the first Christmas is tough, so I have decided to get in quick with this episode so you are prepared for this time of year and you don't have to worry. You might want to listen to this episode a few times around now and Christmas just so you know you are fully prepared. Just remember its allowed to feel strange your allowed to feel sad! Next year will be easier I promise.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing right? But also HOW annoying is that phrase. Of course it is, if you could see into the future we could prevent becoming hurt. BUT, stay with me, this episode will help you see that you can view hindsight as a positive way to start healing from your breakup.

I found a quote last week and I have never resonated with a quote so much in my life. I split it into 3 parts and talk all about how it can relate to your breakup, your mindset & how you continue to find the strength continue.

I promised a Bonas ep per month on running so this is Octobers Bonas Ep. A Nice Loula ramble on long running!

A nice episode on the Leicester half marathon but also how it made me reflect on how far I have come in the past 2 years since my first ever race. A bit of a rambley episode but one that I hope inspires you to continue to fight on your healing journey and potentially put on your trainers and run.

When you learn how to value yourself you will find that you respect yourself so much more that you no longer tolerate what you used to tolerate in your previous relationship. This will also help you find further strength should your ex ever walk back into your life. The more you love yourself the more you protect yourself.
