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.

3. Why I walked out barefoot and didn’t come back
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 broke me, and the honest truth about disassociation, medication, and why the mental health system needs way more compassion. Plus, I introduce The Messy Middle, my free online community for women who are done performing and ready to feel seen.
If you’ve ever walked barefoot out the front door mid-meltdown or cried in a car park after “holding it together” for too long, this one’s for you. You're not broken. You’re just honestly mental. And that’s the whole point.
