What if the stories we've inherited about women, work, and worth are the real reason we’re not coping?

In this episode, I share one of my late-night rabbit holes… the kind fuelled by ADHD spirals and AI research. What started as a quick scroll turned into a full-blown investigation into the link between undiagnosed ADHD and postpartum depression. And let me tell you, the stats hit hard.

I talk about the pressure cooker of being a woman in a world that wasn’t built for our brains, what I discovered about generational trauma, and why we need to stop blaming ourselves for simply surviving. We also chat about how these inherited roles and unrealistic expectations are still hurting us, and what it means to rewrite the narrative, not just for us, but for our kids too.

This one’s raw, reflective, and full of “wait… it’s not just me?” moments. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at being the ‘perfect mum’ or just trying to hold it all together, this episode is for you.

What if your brain is lying to you… and you’ve been believing it?

This episode gets raw about rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), the sneaky stories our brain tells us, and why even with therapy, meds and a truckload of self-awareness, the chaos still shows up.

I share a personal story from a club meeting gone rogue, where my brain went straight to “I’m the problem,” even when I knew better.

If you’ve ever spiralled over whether someone’s mad at you, re-lived one awkward conversation for days, or questioned your worth because of a single comment, this one’s going to feel like home. I talk about what RSD is, how trauma amplifies it, and the weird relief of finally having a name for that voice in your head.

You’ll leave this one understanding your brain a little more, and maybe even offering it a bit of grace. Because you're not broken. You're just overwhelmed. And you’re definitely not alone.

What’s one story your brain keeps telling you that you’re ready to rewrite? Come tell me over on Instagram @sheshonestlymental. I’d love to hear from you.

In this episode we cover:

• Corrina launches the podcast and reflects on not needing to "perform"
• A breakdown of rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and how it shows up
• The go-kart club AGM moment and emotional aftermath
• How trauma makes RSD worse and why naming it helps
• Mowing lawns while spiralling and questioning everything
• Reflection on selling tractors, doing business, and wondering if she should’ve just stayed home
• Feeling grateful for the podcast impact but doubting whether it's "enough"
• A powerful reframe on stories, perspective, and finding glimmers of joy
• Ending with practical hope: recognising the story, naming it, choosing a new one

Ever feel like you're doing everything for everyone and still barely holding it together?

In this episode, I go all in. The chaos, the kids, the hospital admissions, the ADHD brain on a healing bender, it’s all here. I talk about why She’s Honestly Mental exists, how it started from a sticky note moment while breastfeeding, and why it’s about time we stopped pretending we’re fine when we’re clearly not.

You'll hear the behind-the-scenes of my second hospital admission, the miscarriage that broke me, and the honest truth about disassociation, medication, and why the mental health system needs way more compassion. Plus, I introduce The Messy Middle, my free online community for women who are done performing and ready to feel seen.

If you’ve ever walked barefoot out the front door mid-meltdown or cried in a car park after “holding it together” for too long, this one’s for you. You're not broken. You’re just honestly mental. And that’s the whole point.

In this episode, I answer the big question, who the hell am I to talk about mental health? I’m not a guru. I’m a mum who’s been through panic attacks, postnatal depression, and a full-blown breakdown that landed me in hospital. But more than that, I’m someone who’s decided to stop pretending and start telling the truth.

You’ll hear stories I’ve never shared publicly, from childhood trauma to the moment I admitted to my family I didn’t want to be here anymore. It’s messy. It’s honest. And it might be exactly what you need if you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much and still not doing enough.

You’ll learn what undiagnosed PTSD can look like, how perfectionism masks pain, and why asking for help isn’t a weakness, it’s survival. If you're tired of hiding, you're in the right place.

If this episode helped you feel seen, come say hey on Instagram at @sheshonestlymental. I'd love to know what landed for you. Or just send a 💛 if you're not ready for words yet. I get it.

• Corrina records from a podcast studio in Bali and talks imposter syndrome
• Childhood trauma and first panic attack
• Eldest daughter responsibilities and emotional overload

Have you ever felt like everyone would be better off without you, but you're still here, breathing… somehow?

Welcome to the first-ever episode of She’s Honestly Mental. I’m Corrina — medicated, hospitalised more than once, and still figuring it out. In this episode, I’m sharing the letter I once wrote when I didn’t think I’d see another birthday. It was meant to be a goodbye. Now it’s the beginning of this podcast.

If you’ve ever carried everyone else’s chaos while secretly falling apart, you’ll hear yourself in this story. I talk about suicidal thoughts, hospital admissions, and the weight of pretending to be okay. But more importantly, I talk about what happens when someone finally notices. When you get help. When you find your way back to yourself, mess and all.

You’ll leave this episode feeling less alone, more seen, and hopefully with a little more hope than you started with. Because the chaos doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means you need support. And this is where that begins.

If this episode made you feel a little less alone, I’d love to know. Come say hi over on Instagram at @sheshonestlymental. Even just a 💛 in my DMs lets me know you're out there listening, relating, surviving. Let’s keep going, together.

In this episode we cover:

• Corrina introduces the podcast and its raw purpose
• Content warning for sensitive themes
• The suicide letter she once wrote to her family
• The internal noise and chaos of mental illness
• The disconnection between appearing functional and feeling broken
• The moment she was honest with her family about wanting to die
• Her hospitalisation and what it really looked like
• The shift that came from sharing online
• The unexpected connection and outpouring of support
• Why she started She’s Honestly Mental
• The power of mental health toolkits and honest conversations
• A hopeful message to anyone who feels alone in their pain

Ever felt like you're the only one barely holding it together while everyone else looks like they’ve got it all sorted?

Here I tell the truth about why I created this podcast. It was because silence nearly killed me. And I know I’m not the only one.

If you’re tired of people saying “just be positive” and ready for a space that lets you be real: mess, meds, meltdowns and all, you’ll feel seen here.

You’ll hear how this show became the lifeline I couldn’t find, and what you can expect from each episode: honesty, connection and zero pressure to have your shit together.

Has your brain ever screamed “I can’t do this” while you smiled and kept going? I’d love to hear from you. Come say hi over on Instagram and let me know if this podcast hit home.
