Why thousands of pounds in courses and coaching didn’t heal me — and what I finally learned about safety, shame, and self-worth.

I’ve spent more on self-development than on my first car. Every purchase promised transformation.
But underneath the shiny “invest in yourself” message was a nervous system stuck in survival mode.
When you’re in trauma response — freeze, fight, fawn — your brain isn’t learning, it’s protecting. Every new course became proof that I wasn’t enough. The harder I tried to improve, the worse I felt.

Healing isn’t a masterclass. It’s safety.
It’s being able to sit still without your body buzzing with guilt.
Now, I’m choosing small, sustainable steps — like my book club, The Room, or a £10 membership I can dip into without shame.
Because the truth is: peace is the real ROI.
