She's Honestly Mental

6. When ADHD meets financial freakouts


Listen Later

Ever juggled appointments, panic and pretending you’re okay, all in one day?

In this episode, I’m sitting in a Perth hotel room after one hell of a few months. Between urgent medical appointments, wild travel chaos, and running a business while parenting three kids. I talk about what it really feels like to be carrying too much and pretending you’re fine.

You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of launching She’s Honestly Mental properly, what it took to finally do the brand shoot, and how I’m facing my lifelong money stories, from ADHD impulsivity to avoiding the ATO. There’s a bit of burnout, a bit of Bali, and a whole lot of real talk. I also share why one powerful guest episode had to be put on hold.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the chaos, the cracks, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when everything feels too much. If you’ve ever whispered, “I can’t do this,” this one’s for you.

Have you ever had to wear your brave face when your world was falling apart? Come tell me over on Instagram @sheshonestlymental, I’d love to hear how you held it together (or didn’t).
