Mental health is often stigmatised, and conversations surrounding it are frequently silenced. That’s why I’ve created Real & Unapologetic, the podcast where I’ll bring you unfiltered and authentic conversations with people who have overcome challenges, lived through struggles, and found ways to prioritise their mental health while pursuing their careers. From imposter syndrome, anxiety, burnout, toxic behaviours, period stigma, chronic illnesses to neurodiversity. You name it. We’re going to talk about it. So make sure to join us every other Wednesday as we share our own stories - the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
