Going Viral on TikTok (Sort Of) … Then Freezing on My Podcast
One of my TikTok videos got a lot of traction (for a brand new account anyway).
It should’ve felt like momentum.
Instead, I froze.
And perfectionism - mixed with the emotional chaos of a cancer diagnosis - nearly stopped me from publishing this episode at all.
In this honest update, I share why it's taken me so long to publish this podcast episode. Plus:
- What really happened when I (kind of) went viral on TikTok
- The perfectionism spiral that almost derailed this podcast
- A personal update on my cancer treatment timeline - and the limbo it’s creating
- The emotional impact of audience support (and what £100 really meant)
- How I’m simplifying my offers - and why “good enough” is my new business plan (it has to be) The advice I give clients (that I’m finally taking myself)
If you’re navigating public vulnerability, visibility, or just trying to keep your work moving during tough times … I hope you'll resonate.
