TRIGGER WARNING: There is conversation around suicide, so please be mindful of this when listening to the following podcast episode. This episode we chat with Tully Smyth. The general public may know her from her time on Big Brother Australia, Social Media Influencer (@tee_smyth), or (among other things) as a host of #socialsquadpod for @MamamiaAus. We get to hear about what it was like growing up with a parent suffering from early onset dementia, her own lived experience with mental illness, social judgement and how she's handling her time in covid-19 isolation.

Cassandra Roberts - A social worker by day, meditation teacher by night (and weekends!), holistic counsellor and podcast host in her own right.

Enjoy!
