She's Honestly Mental
She's Honestly Mental is the podcast for women who are done faking fine. Hosted by Corrina Rawlinson: ADHD brain (medicated), mum of three, and proud mental health hospital alumni who went from writing suicide letters to building a movement. This show speaks to the ones silently falling apart while holding everything together.
Each episode is a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really looks like to live with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma and the chaos that comes with it. You'll hear stories, strategies and moments of "me too" that remind you you're not broken, you're just honestly mental.
This isn't toxic positivity or clinical advice. It's honest talk about the real shit - the bathroom floor breakdowns, the hospital admissions, the conversations that actually save lives.
If your brain is loud, your heart's tired, and you're craving a space that feels like coming home, you're in the right place. Because silence nearly killed me, and these conversations? They save lives.
She's Honestly Mental
1. The letter I never meant to share
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, you’ll hear yourself in this story. I talk about suicidal thoughts, hospital admissions, and the weight of pretending to be okay. But more importantly, I talk about what happens when someone finally notices. When you get help. When you find your way back to yourself, mess and all.
You’ll leave this episode feeling less alone, more seen, and hopefully with a little more hope than you started with. Because the chaos doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means you need support. And this is where that begins.
If this episode made you feel a little less alone, I’d love to know. Come say hi over on Instagram at @sheshonestlymental. Even just a 💛 in my DMs lets me know you're out there listening, relating, surviving. Let’s keep going, together.
