Pathologically Honest

This week, Georgia gets into sitting in friction, oversharing, friendship breakups, mum guilt, sobriety, and healing modalities that actually work.She unpacks why old patterns coming back can make you feel like you’re back at square one, how to choose what deserves your energy, and what happens when you stop trying to control every bloody thing. If you’re doing the work but still feel like you’re losing the plot, we're in this together.Witness burnout, self-boundary setting and pathological honesty in real time. We're tired, and we reckon you probably are too!p.s. We are absolutely finishing the story... tune in next week.SUPPORT RESOURCES:SHOWNOTESGet amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @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.

When journalist Amanda Goff publicly came forward as high-end escort Samantha X in 2014, she made headlines.She built a public identity around sex work, wrote books about it, and became known for being bold, shameless, and confident. But behind the headlines was addiction, crippling shame and an undiagnosed bipolar disorder.Now sober and out of the industry, Amanda joins us to talk about the reality behind the reputation. We get into the cost of going public, the life she sometimes wonders she could have had, and what happens when your most private experiences become part of your public identity forever.*Content warning: This episode discusses extreme mental health crisis scenarios.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.

Gareth was only 14 when he had sex for the first time, with a client. It was the late 1970s, and in Sydney’s King’s Cross, Gareth was entering a world of sex, secrecy and danger while living a double life and still in school. Decades later, Gareth is an incredible artist, and we're talking about the hidden worlds he was involved in, as well as the powerful lessons and experiences he's had since.From the men he encountered to the realities of working in the Cross, Gareth shares a side of Australian history that rarely makes it into the conversation.Get amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsGareth: @gareth_ernstGareth's art: https://garethernst.com/Want to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.

Angus has friendships, a fulfilled life, and plenty to say about the world. But when it comes to intimacy, there's a barrier many able-bodied people never have to think about.In this episode, Angus opens up about accessing sex work, the heartbreak that led him there, and the relationship he's built through hiring a sex worker, who affectionately calls herself his “professional girlfriend”.For Angus, this isn't just about sex. It's about intimacy, connection, having something to look forward to, and experiencing a part of life that can be much harder to access when you're a person with a disability.We talk about the assumptions people make about people with disabilities, why Angus shouldn't have to justify wanting intimacy, and the financial barriers that come with having to pay for something many people take for granted.Full episode transcript here Watch the full episode including live captions hereGet amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsTouching Base:@touchingbaseinc on Instagramhttps://www.touchingbase.org/Want to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.

At 43, Melanie had never been kissed by a man.She had spent most of her life believing that women with disabilities weren’t supposed to be sexual, desirable or in relationships. Then one conversation with a support worker opened a door she didn’t even know existed. Melanie hired a sex worker.What followed completely changed her relationship with her body, intimacy, confidence and desire. She made a fantasy list, learnt what she liked, discovered that she could be desired, and eventually realised she wanted something she never thought was possible for her.Get amongst it:Instagram: @pathologicallyhonest TikTok: @pathologicallyhonestYouTube: Pathologically Honest Georgia: @god_worthy on all the thingsTouching Base:@touchingbaseinc on Instagramhttps://www.touchingbase.org/Want to get Pathologically EVEN MORE Honest?Join us on Patreon for bonus unfiltered episodes, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes spirals, and community chats.
