What if the hardest part of healing starts after hospital? In this episode, I’m sharing what no one tells you about the messy, raw, and painfully real parts of life after a mental health hospital stay. It’s not a smooth re-entry, it’s a faceplant into life admin, school lunches, bills, and grief over everything you missed while surviving. I talk through the structure I lost, the guilt I carried, and the scaffolding I had to build just to make it through each day. You’ll hear about the emotion...

What if the signs that you needed help were hiding in your camera roll? This episode is the audio version of going back through the photos and finally seeing the truth. This one’s raw. I open up about the lead-up to my first mental health admission in 2019. Not from a perfect, polished hindsight place, but straight from the heart, scrolling through the chaos on my phone. You’ll hear about the photo that broke me, the letter from the neighbour that crushed me, and the moment I realised I didn’...
Have you ever built something that looked great on the outside, but didn’t feel right inside? This episode is about the uncomfortable magic of accidentally pivoting, and finally doing business in a way that feels like you. This one’s part confession, part clarity bomb. I recorded from a Surf Club storage room, sipping cacao, processing the chaos of scaling back my meds, and admitting something out loud, I’ve accidentally rebranded my business. You'll hear how a single client session opened th...
What if the reason you're stuck… is because you're building something that isn’t even you? This episode is a full-throttle brain dump from my bedroom floor. I talk through the mess of launching something that doesn’t feel aligned, and what happens when you stop forcing what’s not working. You’ll hear about my decision to open House of Collab, the flopped launch of my Permission to be Human program, and how using human design helped me make peace with the pivot. I also unpack why women are bur...
Ever felt like life’s falling apart but somehow, you’re still the one holding everyone together? This week, I take you inside the chaos of our busiest season yet. Business stress, basketball coaching, stomach dramas and a moment of real clarity. You’ll hear about the week I ended up in hospital, the unexpected lessons it brought me, and how slowing down didn’t derail me like it used to. We talk business, mental health, parenting pressure, and why having a fridge full of protein is basically...
What if putting yourself first didn’t mean letting everyone else down? In this unfiltered 6am episode recorded from a surf club storage room (yes, really), I crack open the emotional weight of what it looks like to start choosing yourself after a lifetime of over functioning for everyone else. I talk about the tension between building something that’s “just yours” and the guilt that sneaks in when you do. You'll hear how brand strategy became a catalyst for self-worth, what it’s like trying t...
Ever felt like your story wasn’t worth telling, only to realise it might save someone else? This episode is raw, real, and a little bit terrifying in the best way. I read the article I wrote for Mamma Mia. The one that covers everything from hospital stays to misdiagnoses, suicide notes to ADHD meds, and the chaos that comes with being a woman trying to keep it all together. If you’ve ever felt like you were quietly falling apart while the world clapped for your highlight reel, this one’s for...
Ever feel like the shame spirals are stronger than your will to keep going? This episode is the messiest kind of real. I walk you through a day in my life. The ADHD brain spirals, the guilt, the survival routines, and the glimmers that help me hold it together (or at least fake it well enough). I’m not handing out perfection; I’m sharing what it looks like when you’re doing your best in a world that expects your best to look different. We talk about meds, motherhood, meals that sometimes don’...
What if the problem isn’t that you’re broken, but that you’ve been performing “fine” for too long? In this episode, I’m walking you through the honesty method, a raw, real look at how I survived emotional exhaustion, burnout and trauma recovery without losing my mind (again). This isn’t about toxic positivity or pushing through. It’s about creating space for your nervous system to exhale. You’ll hear how I stopped performing resilience and started creating permission-based scaffolding, not ju...
Ever juggled appointments, panic and pretending you’re okay, all in one day? In this episode, I’m sitting in a Perth hotel room after one hell of a few months. Between urgent medical appointments, wild travel chaos, and running a business while parenting three kids. I talk about what it really feels like to be carrying too much and pretending you’re fine. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of launching She’s Honestly Mental properly, what it took to finally do the brand shoot, and how I’m faci...
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 dis...
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 fo...
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 ...
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 ...
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, y...
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 e...
