I'm just a passionate Aussie, wanting to share my own mental health stories & struggles in the hope to help others. With presenting a raw & honest energy, I intend to create a comfort zone for others wanting to share their life-changing battles.
Episode 1: The Mind Behind the Mic – Making Sense of My ADHD 🎙️🧠
In this episode, I return to the mic and open up about restarting Couching the Mind and receiving a recent ADHD diagnosis.
I reflect on what it’s been like to finally make sense of years of racing thoughts, overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt — and how gaining clarity around how my mind works has changed the way I approach my mental health and creativity.
I also talk honestly about recognising why I previously struggled to push the podcast further, and how understanding my ADHD has helped me make sense of those challenges — not as failures, but as signals that something needed to be done differently.
Alongside this, I share my intentions for the podcast moving forward — the direction I want it to take, the conversations I want to create, and how I plan to show up more consistently and with greater clarity.
This is a grounded, real conversation about ADHD, burnout, and learning to work with your mind instead of constantly fighting it. No fluff. No pretending to have it all together. Just real talk.

Why don't we talk 'anxiety'??? (EP 1 of 2024)
It's been a while.... But finally i'm back... My absence will be explained....
Do you ever sit down and ask yourself these questions:
- Why do I have anxiety?
- Why do I choose to hide my anxiety?
- Why don't I want too talk about my anxiety?
- Why can't I put my mind at rest?
- Why do I find it difficult too drift off too sleep?
These are all common questions, that at some point of our lives 99.9% of people will encounter. All these questions + more, is what makes up this episode.
One of the big reasons as too why I stopped podcasting for such a long period, was due too my own personal struggle with anxiety. Throughout this episode, I will unravel my own most recent journey with anxiety. Because if there's one thing i've learnt, normalising struggle, and extracting the negative and toxic thoughts from the mind, is the most powerful tool in better not only yourself, but also helping those around you, that may be struggling as well...

Happy Place - A Solo Podcast Episode
It's been a while since I last uploaded a podcast episode. Life got busy. My mental health wasn't in the greatest of places... But i'm back!! And i'm bringing with me some consistently. There's plenty too look forward do, I can assure you;).
- Have you ever created a 'happy space' for yourself?
- Do you lack in confidence with it comes too flirting / meeting new people for the first time?
- How do you overcome an anxiety attack?
- Finding your perfect person? Where do you start?
- Do you stop doing something due too addictive nature?
- Finding comfort within, when hurdles are 'thrown' at us...
These questions... and MORE, were discussed in detail, in this episode of 'Couching The Mind'...
Moto of the Podcast (if your a new listener) = —> Clearing the mind one couch talk at a time <— PODCAST UPDATE: This is the new and improved ‘Couching The Mind’. Where majority of episodes going forward, will be conducted in a group like environment. I personally find that by interviewing 2-3 people at once, it creates a certain level of comfortability for interviewees to be able to say exactly how they feel upon certain topics. Plus interviewees can argue back and forward on certain things, which I feel as if it’s a really important perk to have. And one other thing, laughter, laughter, laughter! They’ll be plenty of this as well!
Main message from the episode: As important as it is too look out for your mates, family, your partner. Don't forget self-care. Putting love back into 'you'. Because without this, you'll only get burnt out, and things may noticeably start to bog you down. We don't need that !:)
