Hating Pregnancy & The Brutal Aftermath w/ Mel Mason

Ep. 6

Mel Mason says she was cancelled for hating pregnancy. We're here to say F*CK THAT, then rant about hating pregnancy some more. We also unpack all the worst parts of motherhood that no one seems to be talking about. This was an incredibly moving and HONEST chat. Mel has the most eloquent and down-to-earth way of speaking her truth.


We chat:


  • Identity and career
  • Being woo-woo
  • Hating pregnancy despite wanting it so badly
  • Pregnancy and mental health
  • Getting round the clock care
  • Mum shaming and internalised misogyny

  • 9. My Driving Instructor Sees Dead People w/ Mark (my driving instructor)

    59:49||Ep. 9
    It's always who you least expect. Georgia was worried she'd been oversharing her woo-woo ways with her driving instructor, Mark. Little did she know, he sees dead people, and has had the most goose-bump-inducing spiritual experiences. This is the PERFECT example of how pathological honesty leads to untapped human connection.In this episode, Mark shares decades of encounters with spirits, psychic experiences, messages from loved ones who have passed and the moment he was told he could choose whether to stay or leave.We chat:Family story and abilitiesMark's early experiencesNot looking too hard for signsNear-death experiencesChoosing to stay or goThe crazy prediction that came trueSpiritual storiesSHOWNOTES:Get amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonestTikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically HonestGeorgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsWant to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.

  • 2. Pregnancy & Postpartum trauma w/ Becky Lucas

    01:11:47||Ep. 2
    We're SO lucky to be sitting with the incredible Becky Lucas today, for our first ever full-length, guest ep.We cover:unhinged rageintrusive thoughtspregnancymotherhoodtraumafight, flight or fawnWhat starts as a classic Pathologically Honest mess (bear with us), opens into the most beautiful ep. Becky shares, with brutal honesty and so much heart, her experience of pregnancy, motherhood, fear, trauma, and navigating life after walking through something truly unimaginable. We talk about loving your child so fiercely it terrifies you, how trauma doesn’t magically disappear, and what it actually takes to sit with uncomfortable emotions instead of pushing them away.This is exactly the kind of space we want to keep creating, where nothing is polished, everything is real, and even the hardest moments can be held with honesty, compassion, & a bit of dark humour.*CW this episode discusses tough topics including mental health, infant health, and pregnancy related trauma.SHOWNOTESGet amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsBecky: @beckylucas__ on instagramWant to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.
