IT'S YOUR LIFE episodes

  • 50. Student Wellbeing + Suffering Mental Illness at University with Jess Couchman

    Today on It’s Your Life (and this is mine) we have a really open and honest chat with student Jess Couchman about mental health, her personal struggles with depression as well as ambition to change the university mental welfare system. Unfortunately, I know a lot of people will relate to topics we discuss but we’re hoping that we can make a change by opening up more honest conversations when it comes to mental wellness and what we can do to support each other during these struggles. 


    We hope you enjoy this episode and learn something new!

                    Today on It’s Your Life (and this is mine) we have a chat with guest, Danielle about addiction. Danielle was super vulnerable, sharing her story of being an adult child of alcoholic parents, the trauma it caused growing up and the PTSD faced to this current day. I never hear anyone openly talking about addiction, victims of addicts or anything in between so I hope this episode can help someone out there. I would have felt so reassured hearing this conversation 5 years ago. We also touched on Danielle’s abortion story too.
