In this episode of Talk Therapy To Me, Ashley and Maxi are joined by James Tapa and Feifei Liao to talk about what it really means to be “far from home”-not just physically, but emotionally, culturally, and within systems of care. Together, they explore the joys and challenges of being a queer migrant or international student in Australia, the invisible barriers to accessing mental and sexual health support, and what helps people feel safer, seen, and supported. From language and culture, to family expectations, identity, community, and belonging.

In this episode, Ashley and Maxi explore loneliness in the queer community, not as a personal failure, but as a human and social experience shaped by exclusion, identity, and the world we live in.

We talk about social exhaustion, neurodivergence, and the quiet ache of feeling disconnected, even when you’re not technically alone. Through personal stories and listener questions, we reflect on what actually helps when connection feels hard, and how to find ways of belonging that feel safe and real.

Not everyone feels joy during Christmas and New Year, and some of us are quietly struggling.

In this episode, we gently talk about crisis, suicide, and self-harm, while holding space for hope. We’re joined by local artist Flora☆, who shares their song and the story behind it. We also share some simple self-care ideas and ways to feel a little safer during the holidays, especially for our queer community.

You’re not alone. We’re here with you~

This week on Talk Therapy To Me, we’re talking about trauma: the big, the small, and everything in between, and how it shows up in our lives. Our special guest Madi shares her lived experience, why looking after yourself really matters, and what some red flags can look like when therapy doesn’t feel quite right.

We wrap up with our favourite segment, ‘Affirmations That Don’t Suck’, where we all share something we’d want to say to anyone struggling with trauma, including Madi’s brilliant AFL-inspired affirmation you won’t forget.

Honest, warm, comforting, and very human
