Have you ever put yourself out there — really out there — and been met with silence?

In this episode, Beverley shares what happened when she signed up for a charity walking challenge for Dementia UK and reached out to everyone in her social circle for support. What followed was an unexpected lesson in visibility, self-worth and the feelings we think we've long since left behind.

From the sting of social media silence to suddenly feeling fourteen again at the edge of the in-crowd, this episode explores what happens when external validation fails to show up — and how we find our way back to ourselves when it doesn't.

Honest, unfiltered and deeply personal, this is an episode for every woman who has ever felt unseen, overlooked, or quietly wondered: does anyone actually see me?

Topics covered in this episode:

— Friendship circles and who really shows up

— Social media, worth and the performance of value

— When present-day feelings unlock old wounds

— The Dementia UK walking challenge

— Finding the shift...slowly, mid-walk, in the rain
