  • How I Overcame 16 Months of Depression

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Karyn Inder and welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast. A podcast where we discuss all things mental health, mental illness, body positivity, self worth and the importance of finding your voice.

    As most of you know, I have Bipolar Disorder, PTSD and Anxiety. Today, I share one side of my Bipolar Disorder experience: depressive episodes. I talk about what it’s like to have depression, what symptoms to look out for and most importantly, how I pulled myself out of it and how you can too. I want to take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of checking in with yourself, focusing on the things we -can- control and that help is just a call away.

  • Baking in Bikinis (pt2) w/ Clementine Desseaux

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Karyn Inder and welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast. A podcast where we discuss all things mental health, mental illness, body positivity, self worth and the importance of finding your voice.

    And we are back for Part 2 of Baking in Bikinis! I don’t even know where to begin with this one. We started with showcasing our ice cream sammies & french crepes, but then spiraled into laughter and then crying? So much excitement...between Clem flipping her crepes (the suspense), dropping a knob of butter down her stove and my ugly laugh... it’s action packed. There’s a lot of gasping in this episode, authentic french crepe making is not for the faint of heart.


    Clem is wearing a one piece by Madewell and I am sporting a two piece by Londre.
    Get festive with us!

  • Mental Health Coaching & Self Advocacy with Karyn

    Hey everyone!


    My name is Karyn Inder and welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast. A podcast where we discuss all things mental health, mental illness, body positivity, self worth and the importance of finding your voice.


    Today, I am so excited to announce my newest venture: Mental Health Coaching & Self Advocacy.

    T​his year I became overwhelmingly frustrated in how we approach mental health and mental wellbeing. Frustrated at how mental health disorders are approached, the layout of mental health courses and the attitudes within our families, social circles and workplaces. So I decided to do something about it, take this frustration and use it as inspiration to try and make life easier for those in our communities. For the past couple months I have dedicated all of my time and efforts to developing a service that would not only fill this gap, but change the way we perceive mental health and provide more options for ​crisis prevention​ opposed to ​crisis intervention.​

    I am dedicated to shedding light on the two sides of this story: educating those who do not experience mental health disorders and empowering those who do.
    Lots more to come so be sure to check out everything that is new. Through the link in my bio you can subscribe to my mailing list and be sure to check out my new Patreon where you can sign up to take the first steps towards Self Advocacy.

  • The Disability Tax Credit & What You Need To Know

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Karyn Inder and welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast. A podcast where we discuss all things mental health, mental illness, body positivity, self worth and the importance of finding your voice.

    Welcome to the new year! Let’s start it off proactively by preparing for tax season :)

    In this week’s episode, Noreen shares information regarding the Disability Tax Credit. If you experience mental illness and/or a mental disability, you may qualify for this tax credit. So, what is the DTC? T​he Disability Tax Credit(DTC)is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay. In this episode, ​we break down everything you need to know, from how to apply to how to self advocate for yourself, we hope we can make something that can be overwhelming a little more manageable! Also, we’ve included some important links below and here is a Step-By-Step guide to applying!

    Noreen’s Notes:

    Step 1: download the form

    Step 2: fill out the first page of the form (Part A) with your information

    Step 3: print out entire doc with your info filled out

    Step 4: Make an appointment to talk about the form with your doctor or nurse practitioner, give them the document to fill out - they have to
    fill out Part B.

    notes: - Not everything on page 2, 3 and 4 need to be filled out, only fill out what applies to the applicant.

    - ALL of page 5 must be filled out by your Dr /nurse practitioner
    Step 5: Send the form to the CRA (I recommend sending it via courier so you can confirm it was delivered). The address you send it to depends on where you live, see page 6 for the addresses.

    Once you have sent it, you must wait for the CRA to respond and let you know their decision. This can take many months so be patient. They send a response via regular mail. If your application is denied, they

    will explain why on the notice of determination and options to
    challenge their decision.
    If you are approved, then you are normally approved 3-5 years into the future so you don't have to reapply every year. I recommend that you choose yes on page 1, section 3 so that the CRA can adjust your taxes for previous years for you.

  • Children & Mental Health

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Karyn Inder and welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast. A podcast where we discuss all things mental health, mental illness, body positivity, self worth and the importance of finding your voice.

    Today, we talk about children and their mental health. I wrote a post about this on my instagram (@karyninderr) but really wanted to go deeper here on The Model Tongue Podcast. When should we introduce mental health resources to our children? Are they capable of ‘overcoming’ trauma and abuse? Children aren’t always capable of expressing their mental health needs, it is up to us to be there for them, to help and support them- but what does that look like? Do they still need help if they are high functioning? I dissect this and more on this week’s episode.
