What happens when you’re a Mum, a sex worker, and completely unwilling to hide either of those things?This week we’re joined by the incredible Lulu, a sex therapist, sex worker and Mum, for a conversation that takes us way behind the taboo.We get into what sex work actually looks like when you have kids, dating while doing it, walking back through the front door after a day with clients, navigating open relationships, setting boundaries, and much more. This is insight into a world you won’t hear discussed this openly anywhere else.SHOWNOTESThank you to @apresstudios for Georgia's outfit in this ep https://apresstudio.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOorZrbGuRu_aUomzqW5Bf8APpijsXy-t1rjkeEpGmUd0Hb8tb2oFGet amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonestTikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest @pathologicallyhonestGeorgia: @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.

No one talks about what it’s actually like to go into a psychiatric ward. We're inviting you behind the curtain.What happens when you walk through the doors? What does it feel like? Who are you surrounded by? And what happens when you leave?For another solo ep, Georgia unpacks the truth about what it's really like in a psychiatric hospital. The more we talk about this stuff, the less frightening and shameful it becomes. Sometimes talking about the thing you’re most afraid to say out loud is part of what helps you survive it.*Content warning: This episode discusses extreme mental health crisis scenarios.SHOWNOTES:SUPPORT RESOURCES:Emergency & Crisis SupportIf you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000.Lifeline Australia: Call 13 11 14 for crisis supportBeyond Blue Support Service: Call 1300 22 4636 or visit Beyond Blue for online chat and mental health resourcesheadspace: For young people aged 12 to 25.

We talk about becoming a mum, finding connection when you feel completely alone, and turning the weird, funny and often uncomfortable parts of motherhood into art.We get into birth trauma, mum competition, unsolicited advice, WhatsApp group politics, and why sometimes the only way through motherhood is to admit how fucking absurd it all is.Get tickets to Mum Club here: https://griffintheatre.com.au/whats-on/mum-club/Get amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonestTikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest @pathologicallyhonestGeorgia: @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.

*Content warning: This episode contains discussions of traumatic pregnancy, emergency birth, medical trauma, pregnancy loss, and maternal mental health.Today Varrsha shares what it feels like to prepare for your own death while praying your baby gets to live. We chat about the trauma that continued long after birth, and how spirituality became the thread that carried her through.Georgia met Varrsha by chance at a market over the smell of incense, and within minutes they were talking about spirituality, motherhood and surviving the unimaginable.At 23, Varsha's pregnancy took a devastating turn. What began as a normal pregnancy quickly became a life-threatening battle with severe pre-eclampsia. She was repeatedly told she and her baby wouldn't survive. Doctors refused to treat her. She lost control over her own body, her own decisions, and even her own birth.We unpack:The reality of severe pre-eclampsia and maternal traumaBeing told you and your baby probably won't surviveLosing autonomy during pregnancySpirituality as an anchor through crisisBirth trauma and the emotional aftermathWhy emotional support can change everythingRaising a miracle baby after months of uncertaintyHealing from experiences that never really leave youSUPPORT RESOURCES:Emergency & Crisis SupportIf you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000.Lifeline Australia: Call 13 11 14 for crisis supportBeyond Blue Support Service: Call 1300 22 4636 or visit Beyond Blue for online chat and mental health resourcesheadspace: For young people aged 12 to 25.

Content warning: This episode discusses extreme mental health crisis scenarios, as well as confronting themes around pregnancy. Give this one a miss if these are sensitive topics for you.This is the story of the year Georgia genuinely didn't think she was going to survive.The OCD. The insomnia. The darkest of thoughts. The relationship breaking points. The nervous breakdown. The guilt. The fear she was already failing her daughter before she'd even been born.If you're pregnant and going through it, if you're scared to have a baby because of your mental health, or you've ever wondered if you're the only one finding this unbelievably hard, we made this for you.Sometimes the most healing thing isn't advice. It's hearing someone say, "Me too." This is the most honest Georgia has ever been about pregnancy. She barely survived it, but this is also the beautiful story of how motherhood ended up saving her.SHOWNOTES:SUPPORT RESOURCES:Emergency & Crisis SupportIf you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000.Lifeline Australia: Call 13 11 14 for crisis supportBeyond Blue Support Service: Call 1300 22 4636 or visit Beyond Blue for online chat and mental health resourcesheadspace: For young people aged 12 to 25.
