Elizabeth (Eli) Best is an inspirational example of triumph over trauma. In many ways, we are lucky she is still with us, such was her narrow escape with anorexia nervosa. Eli brings honesty, candour and warmth to her understanding of the Chloe character in "The Glass House", and has important and wise information for us all.

Ariane Beeston entered motherhood with the belief that she would experience an instant wave of love upon her son’s birth, expecting a seamless transition into parenting. However, reality unfolded quite differently. Instead of joy, Ariane found herself grappling with terrifying delusions about her own mortality, a deep-seated paranoia that social services would remove her child, and vivid hallucinations that transformed her baby into a menacing dragon.

We are thrilled to welcome Ariane Beeston who shares her lived experience of postpartum psychosis.

Ariane was a child protection worker - (later to be a registered psychologist) working for the Department of Communities and Justice in New South Wales when she gave birth to her baby, a little boy Henry, when she quickly began to experience frightening breaks with reality. She was later diagnosed with severe postpartum depression with psychotic features. At this point, I would like to issue a TRIGGER WARNING for this episode as we may be discussing eating disorders, infanticide, and suicide.

Ariane is now the Communications and Content Manager for the Centre of Perinatal Excellence, - known as COPE. She's also a dancer and a choreographer.
