175 - Birthday depression / crying on my birthday

I spent my birthday bawling my eyes out on Facetime to my Mum. Welcome to my first-ever “Confession Session,” where I’m sharing why my birthday was a complete disaster — from feeling unseen and unsupported by my normally very loving boyfriend to navigating the loneliness of being 12,000km from home. I dive into the classic "it's my birthday, I can cry if I want to" vibes, exploring the psychology and biology behind why birthdays can trigger unexpected waves of emotion, pressure, expectation, and reflection, alongside inner child wounds and feelings of isolation too. If you’ve ever had a birthday that didn’t live up to the Instagram highlight reel, you’re not alone and I share my top 6 ways to make your birthday better, even if you aren’t looking forward to it. 💛 THE TRIPPY PLAYLIST: linked here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3dw5Ta4q9aqdgN3T3dcaqi?si=f784ff0ee5004898 Daily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠REDEEM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]  ------ 🤍 FOLLOW LOUISE / HEALING HONEYS 🤍 ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@healinghoneys⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/iamlouiserumball/⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healinghoneys_⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/healinghoneys/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✨ FREE HEALING RESOURCES: ✨  → Free 7 day trial of Daily Devotion (Somatic Healing): HERE → Free Podcast Pathways: HERE SUBMIT: → 💌HEALING HONEYS HOTLINE: Submit your question or story: HERE → 💌 TRASH TALKS: Your Awful Dating Stories: HERE HEAL WITH LOUISE ✨ 7 Day Somatic Healing Trial: Daily Devotion ✨ Therapy + Healing PDFs: Therapy Shop ✨ 7 Day Free Confidence Queen Overhaul: Waitlist Sign Up ✨ There She Glows: 12 Week Life Transformation: Waitlist Sign Up Episode Sponsors: 🧡 This episode description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this episode and support the podcast at no cost to you.
