When life feels like it happens to you
Friday, 31 July, 2026
What happens when life starts to feel like it’s happening to you- and no amount of effort seems to change anything?In this episode, I explore the slippery, surprisingly seductive experience of victimhood: the collapse, helplessness and quiet belief that nothing will ever go your way. How to spot it and its impact.I also look at how it can show up in perfectionism, relationships and work; why trapped anger often becomes resentment and bitterness; and how the cycle between relentless pushing and exhausted collapse keeps us stuck.This isn’t about blaming or shaming ourselves for feeling powerless. Victimhood is a deeply human place to visit - especially when life genuinely overwhelms us. I just wonder if the path through this is to not build a permanent home there.We’ll explore what helps us move towards self-authority, agency and hope, while still accepting that not everything is ours to control or fix.
