Low Power Mode Selected?

September 20, 2026

Why does it feel like your battery is constantly running on low power mode? 🔋

After major surgery, illness or a significant health diagnosis, recovery isn’t just about the physical healing you can see. Your body may still be using a huge amount of energy behind the scenes — leaving you feeling tired, flat or frustrated that you’re not “back to normal” yet.

In this episode, I talk about understanding your Recovery Battery, why your energy may still be depleted, and how small, manageable changes can help you begin to recharge.

🌿 Recovery takes time.
🌿 Small wins matter.
🌿 You don’t have to do everything at once.

Recovery Beyond the Scar — rebuild confidence, move well again and find your freedom.

What People Don't Tell You About Energy After Surgery or a Health Diagnosis

So, what people don't tell you about energy after you've had surgery, after you've had a health diagnosis and you're seemingly getting your head around things, is: why is your energy battery still so low?

Why is it really difficult to recharge even just a bit, and why do you keep crashing?

I was at that point. I understand what that feels like when you come in from work at 3 and have to go horizontal because you can't actually work out how to do the next hour or two without that space, without that recovery reset.

It might be to do with pain. It might be to do with energy. But all of it sits within this recovery — recovery beyond the scar, recovery beyond the diagnosis.

And it's allowing us to understand: where can we gain that energy back again? Where can we build the strength that we need, not just in our physical bodies, but in the capacity for our brains to say, “Yes, I need support here,” or, “What can I do today to actually give myself some time?”

And that looks different for everybody.

But I think it's time we start asking those questions and building a network, or building a way for us to support one another to get the best out of life.

I feel like I've really turned some corners and taken some steps myself, professionally and personally, in that recovery process.

And I'm really excited to start sharing that with you and helping to support one another the best we possibly can.
