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...

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 rea...

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...

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...

After meeting Marotetini by chance during our new "Not Strangers" series, we knew the conversation wasn't finished.

This week, Georgia is our guest, victim, and cautionary tale. In this solo episode Georgia tells the story of how she got scammed out of her inheritance (every cent she had), by a breath work guru who promised to fix basically everything. Addiction? Breath work. Mental health issues? Breath work. Trauma? More breath work. What started as a last-ditch attempt for healing turned into a masterclass i...

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...
