This season is dedicated to my dear friend, Maxine. I call these episodes Against the Odds — because that’s exactly what she’s facing, and what so many others face every single day.

Season 2 was originally created as a series of personal messages to Maxine, who has been enduring overwhelming challenges with incredible courage. But as I recorded them, I realised something: she’s not the only one.

There are others — maybe you — who feel that life is simply too much. Who are battling pain, isolation, chronic illness, or emotional exhaustion.

So now, these episodes are for you, too.

If you’re facing impossible days and aching for comfort, let this series be a hand to hold. I walk this path beside you, and I speak to the part of you that still wants to believe in something better — even when everything hurts.

These messages are here to lift you, soothe you, and help you keep going.

As I speak to Maxine, I share that love with you.
Because you matter. You are not forgotten.
And you deserve joy, peace, and a friend on your side.
