The first six weeks

After this episode I promise we'll move onto sunnier pastures because once I got through the first six weeks on my own, things started to improve.

Not to the point where I was actually enjoying myself (that hit around the 8 month mark) but there are some things I learned from my experience in the first six weeks I wanted to share if you're thinking of rolling solo.

This is probably the time, apart from in the hospital, when you need the most help and support so don't be afraid to ask for it (says the person who did NOT ask for it enough).

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
