Hello and welcome to “I think I’m Mentally Unstable” – the podcast all about growing up and f*cking up, hosted by Naida (Nads).
These are the unseen and unheard bits about the reality of adulting. It’s dramatic, traumatic, yet fantastic – all your basic ingredients for laugh-out-loud, relatable and “Thank God – it’s not just me!” content.
Mentally Unstable is a candid outlook into mental health, careers, relationships, dilemmas and everything in-between.
Join me and my unstable guests as we try to navigate life. P.S. Prepare for ultimate TMI and oversharing.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
Riiiight, it's been a HOT MINUTE since we had a lil chinwag (10+ months to be exact).
But I finally got over myself, dusted of the mic, and now bring to you: Mentally Unstable 2.0.
A little snapshot of this episode:
Why I took an unintentional hiatus
Win and Woe of the week
Why I'm being "antisocial" this NYE
The science behind a Vision Board
Pop this on in the background while you get ready (or chill) for some real talk and hypegal energy.
Happy New Year to all you crazy kids.
P.S. You absolutely MUST do a Vision Board – pop me a message if you want a template to get you started.
P.P.S. I had to edit this TWICE because the original audio didn't save and I nearly had a menty b. I'm very on-brand today.

Ep 8: Growing Up "Foreign", Adult Friendships and Break-Ups
Hola amigos!
Ever had a friendship break-up? Yep, same.
This week we're joined by Ilsa Jones: creative extraordinaire and all-around wise woman. Ilsa tells us what it was like to travel the world and feel like "the outsider" in school trying to find her clan.
We chat about friendships from kids to adulthood, and the awkward moment when you *cough* break up. C'est la vie...
Enjoy! <3
P.S. If you don't give this show a 5* rating... I'll find you.

Ep 5: Failed NYE Party + Tips to Shut Up Imposter Syndrome
Happy New Year, friends!!
LOL so it was my first week back to work and I was not feeling it. The post-holiday blues hit me hard. And I got some sh*tty feedback on a project which made me question everything about my life/career etc. Strong start to 2023...
So this is a topical episode on how to shut imposter syndrome up.
Bonus points: failed NYE party story and dealing with holiday blues.
Hopefully, there are some golden nuggets in this episode.
P.S. Plz share and give this poddy a 5* rating or I'll cry – TY <3

Ep 4: Two Sisters, One Mic
Hello, my favourite humans!
In this episode, my semi-adult sister Melissa shares the mic. We grew up in the same household, and we're *almost* a carbon copy of each other – but different. We chat all things growing up, personalities, icks and what we love/hate about each other. (Much drama.)
This is a snapshot of our relationship – 5 years apart but thick as thieves. She's a Gen Z and I'm a millennial: it shouldn't work, but it does.
P.S. Remember to submit a 5* rating (or I will cry) and follow for more chaotic conversations.

Ep 2: Adulting is a lie (Part 1)
Welcome back, my unstable pals!
This episode is HIGHLY relatable and it's all about the myths & expectations about adulting. You submitted your responses and I gave my little slice of advice. We talk: the timeline, finances, friendship and why boilers are so flipping confusing.
This is everything you wish you knew about adulting when you were younger. There were so many responses so listen now for part 1 – part 2 will be blessing your ears soon...
Enjoy!
