Before we begin, a gentle but important message. Across this podcast, we sometimes discuss experiences that may be difficult to hear, including themes that centre around trauma. These conversations are handled with care, but they can still be triggering or emotionally heavy. Please listen in a way that feels safe for you and take a pause or step away at any time if you need to. If anything you hear brings up difficult feelings, reaching out to someone you trust or seeking professional support can make a real difference.

Eleisha shares her personal journey through depression, self-discovery, and resilience, offering valuable insights for anyone facing mental health challenges. This conversation highlights the importance of self-awareness, seeking help, and embracing authenticity to foster wellbeing.

The experiences discussed in this episode are the guest’s personal account, shared from their own perspective. People’s memories and experiences of the same events can differ. This conversation reflects the guest’s lived experience only.

We are a peer-connection space focused on shared storytelling, not a medical service or crisis centre. If you are in immediate need, we recommend reaching out to professional emergency services.
