Hey Lifers!
Producer Keeshia is in the hot seat today but Laura's been on the stirrups seat!
We kick today off with some pap chat. Click, click, click of the speculum and some 'interesting' questions of who you'd like doing your pap smear were raised.
Em Rata is wanting to brand being divorced in your 20s as 'chic.' Previously we spoke about micro marriages and with Olivia Rogers about her divorce.
We unpack whether young divorce needs a rebrand and whether Em Rata is a bit too privileged to label it as "chic."
Joining the podcast today is journalist, podcaster and author of ‘the one thing we’ve never spoken about,' Elfy Scott. Elfy grew up in a household where her mum’s schizophrenia was rarely spoken about inside or outside of their home. Today we’re going to unpack the reality of what living with schizophrenia is actually like as well as the stigma that we have surrounding complex mental health conditions
We chat about:
- How our understanding of what schizophrenia is is wrong
- Diagnosis, misconceptions and stigma
- Different types of hallucinations/delusions
- Schizophrenia presenting differently in men & women
- Why it's possible to have an onset of schizophrenic symptoms when you have a baby
