This week Amanda has a very deep and inspiring chat to a close friend Paula Douglas who has recently starting speaking out about mental health awareness after sharing her story of overcoming depression and a breakdown which lead her to attempt suicide 8 years ago. It’s a very real story of how life can knock you down and how badly that can impact you mentally.
Paula bravely shares about how she hit her lowest point after a marriage separation, the struggle of trying to rebuild her confidence and self esteem along with life pressures and being a single parent and ultimately everything just getting all a bit ‘too much’. She was in so much emotional and physical pain that she couldn’t see a way forward and just wanted the pain to end. It’s heartbreaking to hear her share about the impact this had on her and her family and it’s so inspiring to hear the turnaround of how she has successfully rebuilt her life since then.
This is such a heart-warming story of resilience and overcoming challenges to rebuild on your own terms and creating a life that you truly love. I hope it inspires someone today that the dark times do pass, you never just know where life will lead and what happiness lies ahead.
Topics covered:
- The impact divorce/separation can have on your mental health

- Paula’s steps to recovery
- Exercise and mental health
