If you know you’re struggling but still can’t bring yourself to ask for help... this episode is for you. Paris sits down with Lily Gresele, founder of How to Be Well, to talk about why asking for help can feel so bloody difficult.... even when you know you need it. Lily’s own experience began with a childhood where vulnerability and support-seeking were treated as weakness. After leaving elite gymnastics, she found herself without the identity, purpose and validation that had shaped almost her entire life. What followed was a period of severe mental health struggle before she finally took the first steps towards support. Those experiences eventually became the reason Lily started 'How to Be Well' because she kept coming back to one question: Why was it so hard to ask for help in the first place? In this conversation, Lily talks honestly about: Why being taught that vulnerability is weakness can follow you long after childhood. What happened when Lily lost the identity she had built around elite gymnastics. How masking can make someone look completely fine while they’re falling apart underneath. Why the first psychologist you see might not be the right one for you. What finally helped Lily move from “I have to work this out myself” to asking for support. Why recovery isn’t necessarily about never having another bad thought... but learning how to manage when they show up. If you’ve ever known you needed help but still couldn’t bring yourself to ask for it, this one’s for you. Lily Gresele is the founder of How to Be Well, a mental health platform she started after experiencing her own mental health challenges. Her work focuses on making mental health conversations and support-seeking feel more approachable and accessible. Through How to Be Well, Lily delivers workshops, presentations, advocacy work and an online non-clinical support community designed for people who may be falling through gaps in the mental health system or waiting for professional support.

If you’ve ever looked at someone deep in addiction and thought they were too far gone... Chrissoula D’Orsogna’s story might make you think again. Paris sits down with Chrissoula D’Orsogna , Director and Personal Trainer of Strong Bodies By Chrissoula, to talk about what more than 20 years of addiction actually looked like from the inside. Chrissoula started using drugs young. Her story moved through heroin addiction, crime, incarceration, overdose, fractured relationships and years of believing there simply wasn’t another way to live. She got clean at 33. What came next wasn’t some overnight reinvention. Chrissoula had to rebuild her health, her relationships, her identity and the way she responded to life. Fitness became a major part of that process... and today, she uses what she’s learned to help other people build stronger, healthier lives. What you’ll hear in this episode: What Chrissoula believes she was searching for underneath the addiction: love and validation How heroin entered her life after a serious car accident and quickly became more than physical pain relief What more than two decades of drug use, crime and incarceration actually took from her The guilt of addiction when the people who love you are caught in the fallout What finally changed when Chrissoula entered recovery at 33 Why fitness, structure and discipline became such a big part of rebuilding her identity The lesson she carried from rehab about learning to respond instead of react Why she believes the energy once poured into addiction needs somewhere else to go in recovery If you’ve ever felt like you’ve wasted too many years, made too many mistakes or gone too far to come back... this one’s for you. About Chrissoula D’Orsogna Chrissoula D’Orsogna is the Director and Personal Trainer behind Strong Bodies By Chrissoula . After more than 20 years of addiction, Chrissoula got clean at 33 and rebuilt her life around health, fitness, consistency and mental clarity.

What happens when your mind takes control of your body? In this episode, Paris sits down with Kate Purcell , author, speaker, and lived experience advocate, to talk about living with anorexia and schizoaffective disorder, surviving psychosis in her twenties, and what thirteen-plus years of ongoing recovery has actually taught her. Kate brings both raw honesty and hard-won wisdom to a conversation that doesn't shy away from how hard recovery really is, or how possible it still is. Together they get into what eating disorders are actually about (it's not food), and the power of separating your identity from the illness. What you'll hear in this episode: Why eating disorders were never really about food How separating your identity from your illness can change everything What psychosis felt like from the inside, and why Kate still finds it hard to put into words Why humour became one of Kate's most important recovery tools What it means to be "on the journey" with someone rather than fixed and finished Kate's books and the self-help tools she's built for others navigating recovery If you've ever felt like an illness was driving and you were just along for the ride, this one's for you. About Kate Purcell Kate Purcell is a Perth-based author, speaker, and lived experience advocate who has spent over a decade working in mental health services. She is the author of two books exploring her own recovery journey and offering practical tools for others navigating eating disorders and severe mental illness. Kate now works as a private peer support practitioner and recovery coach.

If you’ve ever lost someone to overdose, or loved someone who kept chasing a feeling that scared you, you know grief does not arrive neatly. In this episode, Paris sits down with Margaret Martin, a Western Australia-based social worker and counsellor, to talk about losing her son Ethan to an MDMA overdose at 25. But this is not just a conversation about how Ethan died. It is about who Ethan was. A cheeky, philosophical, risk-taking young man. A chef. A head chef far too young. A father to two little girls. A son whose life was bigger than the worst day of it. Margaret speaks about the police knock, the shock, the move to Geraldton days later, and the strange protection of being somewhere no one knew her story yet. She also talks about drugs, harm reduction, undiagnosed ADHD, the hospitality industry, parental guilt, the coroner’s process, and the kind of grief people often pull away from because they do not know what to say. What you’ll hear in this episode: • What Ethan was like before overdose became the headline • The moment Margaret found out her son had died • Why “addicted to the feeling” can change how we understand substance use • The grief spiral of “should have, could have, would have” • Why Margaret supports drug testing at festivals and clubs • What happens when overdose grief becomes socially uncomfortable • How My Condolences helps people support someone who is grieving If you’ve ever loved someone through addiction, feared that knock at the door, or felt abandoned after a loss people did not know how to talk about, this one’s for you. About Margaret Martin Margaret Martin is a Western Australia-based social worker and counsellor. After losing her son Ethan to an MDMA overdose at 25, Margaret began creating spaces for grief conversations that are honest, practical and less terrifying to have. Through My Condolences, she offers live workshops and one-on-one grief support sessions for people who are grieving or supporting someone through loss. She is also working on projects around parental estrangement and an upcoming podcast titled Unspeakable.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many men stay silent until everything is already falling apart... this conversation is for you. In this episode, Paris sits down with John Rich , Chairperson of Men’s Health and Wellbeing WA , to talk about men’s mental health, suicide risk, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, connection, and the quiet pressure so many men carry. John Rich has spent years working across addiction, domestic violence, prison re-entry, counselling, men’s groups, family mental health, Aboriginal emotional wellbeing, and community support. Before that, he spent 30 years in engineering and large scale industry. That shift gave him a rare view into the world so many men are trained to survive in. One where you provide, compete, earn, stay strong, and keep the emotional stuff hidden. This is not a conversation about telling men to “just open up.” It is about why so many men were never taught the language for what they feel in the first place. What you’ll hear in this episode: Why men often do not ask for help until they are already in crisis The “guy code” that teaches boys to stay strong, useful, competitive, and quiet How relationship breakdown can become a major risk point for men Why work can become a hiding place How men’s sheds, peer support, and lived experience create safer ways to connect Why shame does not stop violence How the HALT check in can help someone pause before things spiral If you’ve ever loved a man who shuts down, disappears into work, or says “I’m fine” when he clearly isn’t... this one’s for you. About John Rich John Rich is Chairperson of Men’s Health and Wellbeing WA, a peak body advocating for the health and wellbeing of men and boys across Western Australia. His background includes counselling and group work in alcohol and other drugs, domestic violence work with survivors and perpetrators, family mental health, Aboriginal emotional wellbeing, prison re-entry, parenting men’s groups, and community support. John’s work focuses on connection, practical support, relationship skills, and helping men access support before they reach crisis point.

Ever been told trauma just takes time to heal? What if time alone was never enough? In this episode, Paris sits down with Lisa Irving , clinical psychologist, founder of Revive Health and Happiness in East Perth, and the brain behind Virtuosa, an AI report writing tool built specifically for Australian psychologists. Lisa has spent years working with frontline workers navigating workplace PTSD; prison officers, nurses, teachers, paramedics, firefighters, police, and the employers who too often make things worse. Paris also shares her own complex PTSD diagnosis for the first time on the podcast; what it actually feels like when your body reacts before your mind even registers what's happening, and why she spent years doing drugs and drinking rather than facing what was underneath. This one goes deep into the science, the system, and what actually helps. What you'll hear in this episode: What PTSD actually is and why it's not just something war veterans get How workplace PTSD shows up across frontline roles: prison officers, nurses, teachers, firefighters, support workers, paramedics, police The one thing employers do that isolates injured workers most, and it's not what you think Why "time heals all wounds" is complete rubbish when it comes to PTSD What EMDR actually is, how it works, and why Lisa calls it the closest thing to magic The flash technique; a gentler alternative for people who find EMDR too intense Trauma logic; why your brain applies past danger to present moments that feel similar Why Lisa prefers the word "reminder" over "trigger" — and why that shift changes everything Paris's own complex PTSD, what it feels like when your body reacts before your mind catches up Meet Millie, Lisa's therapy dog and the real star of the episode If you've ever felt your body go into panic before you even understood why, this one will finally give you the language for it. About Lisa Irving Lisa Irving is a Perth-based clinical psychologist and founder of Revive Health and Happiness in East Perth, specialising in PTSD and workers compensation trauma claims. She has built practical online PTSD training courses for employers and injury management professionals, and is the founder of Virtuosa , an AI report writing assistant helping Australian psychologists produce complex reports in a fraction of the time.

If you're a mum who's ever reached for a drink just to get through the witching hour... this one's for you. And if you've ever judged a mother in addiction, this one's for you too. In this episode, Paris sits down with Karen , senior counsellor and AOD programs officer at Luma; one of the largest and longest-running women's health services in Australia. Karen brings her own lived experience as the daughter of an alcoholic, the sister of drug addicts, and a mother who suffered severe postnatal depression in silence for years. She's also one of the most refreshingly straight-talking people in the sector. Together they get into the reality of motherhood and addiction; the shame that keeps women from asking for help, the mum wine culture nobody wants to call out, what actually happens when a pregnant woman is still using, and why the question is never "don't you love your children enough to stop?" What you'll hear in this episode: Why mothers are held to a standard that's genuinely inhumane, and how that drives addiction underground The truth about mum wine culture and when "it's not a problem until it's a problem" becomes a problem What really happens when a pregnant woman is still using, and why fear of Department of Children Protection stops women getting help The Wanda's Clinic at King Edward Hospital; a program Karen describes as unlike anything she's ever seen Why shame thrives in secrecy and why shaming people never creates lasting change Karen's own postnatal depression experience, and what it cost her to stay silent Why it's never a choice between the substance and the child The one thing Karen wishes the public understood about mothers in addiction If you've ever felt like you're holding the weight of the world together while falling apart silently... this one's for you. About Karen Karen is a senior counsellor and alcohol and other drugs programs officer at Luma in Perth, Western Australia. She brings her own lived experience as the daughter of an alcoholic and sister of drug addicts alongside a master's degree in counselling and six years of frontline work supporting women and families navigating addiction and recovery.

Ever seen someone in public acting strangely and assumed they were just on drugs? What if they weren't... and how you reacted made it worse? In this episode, Paris sits down with Tom Darley , psychosocial recovery coach and founder of Chameleon Recovery in Perth, to talk about what psychosis actually is, what it looks and feels like from the inside, and what most people get completely wrong about it. Paris also shares her own experience of drug-induced psychosis for the first time on the podcast; the hallucinations, the terror, and the absolute certainty that what she was experiencing was real. Tom brings years of frontline experience supporting people through severe mental illness, dual diagnosis, and a system that keeps dropping the ball at exactly the moment people need it most. What you'll hear in this episode: The three things that define a psychotic episode: hallucinations, delusions, and disorganised thinking, and why each one changes everything What it actually feels like to be inside drug-induced psychosis (Paris shares her own experience for the first time) How to de-escalate someone having a psychotic episode in public, and what most people do that makes it significantly worse Why assuming a public psychotic episode is drug-related can be dangerous, and what serious mental health conditions trigger the same experience What happens when meth use and schizophrenia collide, and why the system isn't built to hold both If you've ever stood helpless watching someone in crisis, or lived through psychosis yourself and never had anyone explain what was actually happening to you... this one's for you. About Tom Darley Tom Darley is a psychosocial recovery coach and founder of Chameleon Recovery , a Perth-based service supporting people navigating severe mental illness, psychosis, and dual diagnosis. He brings his own lived experience of anxiety and depression alongside years of frontline community support work.

Ever tried to positive-think your way out of trauma and wondered why it didn’t work?Yeah, that’s because your nervous system didn’t get the memo. In this chat, Paris sits down with Dr Brian Tierney , a somatic psychotherapist and educator who’s been to the edge and back, to talk about what really happens when your body’s had a rough trot. They get into the nitty gritty about trauma, how it lives in your nervous system, how it hijacks your head, and why healing starts from the neck down, not the neck up. Brian’s story isn’t polished. He’s walked through his own rock bottoms and knows what it’s like to face the tough stuff head-on. Together, they look at how the mental health system often misses the mark, what somatic therapy actually means in real terms, and the fine line between real healing and the quick-fix hype that’s cooked half the self-help world. They also talk psychedelics, where they help, where they harm, and what it really takes to feel safe again when your body’s been stuck in survival for years. What you’ll hear in this episode: What somatic therapy really looks like (no incense required) How the body stores trauma and what it takes to unlearn that tension Why symptom chasing doesn’t heal the root The danger of turning trauma into a trend A small shift to help you start feeling safe in your own skin again If you’ve ever felt fried, flat, or fed up with healing that feels more like a performance than a process, this one’s for you. About Dr Brian Tierney? Dr Brian Tierney is a somatic psychologist, chiropractic doctor, and international educator dedicated to helping people reconnect with their bodies to access healing, authenticity, and creative expression. With a deep background in neuroscience, trauma recovery, and somatic therapy, Dr Tierney bridges the gap between science and embodiment—guiding individuals toward greater nervous system regulation and self-understanding. Through his practice, The Somatic Doctor , and his global workshops, he empowers people to cultivate body awareness as a foundation for emotional resilience and personal transformation.

Think sober sex is boring? Think again. We’re unpacking what really changes (and what gets better) when intimacy isn’t fuelled by booze or drugs. In this episode, Paris sits down with Phoebe Wilson, founder of A Centred Mind and AOD lecturer, to dive straight into the messy, awkward, and surprisingly empowering realities of navigating relationships in sobriety. From first sober dates (and all the cringe that comes with them) to figuring out when to tell someone you’re in recovery, Paris and Phoebe unpack how getting sober changes intimacy, connection, and self-worth. They talk libido rollercoasters, grieving the “wild nights,” and how to start feeling safe and centred in your own skin again. Phoebe also shares her approach to coaching at A Centred Mind , blending science with spirituality to help people through relationships, transitions, and the challenges of building a new identity in recovery. What we cover: Why sex and intimacy feel so different in sobriety The awkwardness of early sober dating and how to handle it When (and how) to talk about being sober with someone new Libido spikes, crashes, and everything in between Mourning the loss of “uninhibited” sex while moving forward Rebuilding sexual confidence and worthiness without substances How Phoebe blends science + spirituality in her coaching work A practical tip for feeling more grounded in intimacy early in recovery If you’ve ever wondered how to date, desire, or connect differently without substances, or just want to hear a real talk on sober intimacy, this one’s for you.

What if saving a mate’s life didn’t mean having all the answers, just knowing how to show up? In this episode, Paris sits down with Bradley Isbister , Suicide Prevention Coordinator at Neami National based in Perth, Western Australia and board member for Men’s Health & Wellbeing WA , to talk about how young people can support each other through mental health crises, especially when suicide is on the table. Bradley shares the thinking behind Right By You , a suicide prevention program co-designed with young people, for young people.

We unpack what real support looks like when a friend is doing it tough, why language matters, and how to break the silence without breaking trust. Plus, Paris asks the tough stuff: how to spot red flags, what to say (and what not to), and how to hold space without feeling completely overwhelmed. What we cover: How Bradley got involved in suicide prevention What makes Right By You different and why it’s youth-led Warning signs to look out for when someone might be at risk What to say (and not say) when you’re worried about a friend How to respond to troubling posts or messages online Helping when the signs aren’t clear Why early intervention matters, and how programs like this are shifting the conversation A walkthrough of the Right By You website and how to use it Advice for anyone scared to step in but knows they probably should Whether you’re supporting a mate or going through it yourself, this ep will give you the tools to show up and speak up when it counts.

What happens when your brain taps out on you? When your body stops doing what you tell it to, or you’re stuck in a hospital bed feeling like you’ve lost control of everything? In this episode, Paris sits down with Monique Davies - neurological physiotherapist and founder of The Brain Physio - to unpack the gritty reality of brain and nervous system rehab. From strokes to Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), Monique works with people navigating life after serious neurological conditions. They chat about why FND is so misunderstood, the rise in stroke cases (including how meth use can crank up your risk), and the emotional toll these conditions take, not just physically but mentally. Monique also opens up about her own battles with binge drinking and how lived experience has shaped the way she supports her clients. This one’s about breaking down medical jargon, calling out misconceptions, and reminding people that recovery, whether it’s from addiction, a stroke, or FND, is never a straight line. What we cover: - How Monique found her way into neurological physio (hint: it started back in high school) What the hell FND actually is, and why people get told it’s “all in their head”- Risk factors for FND and why early intervention matters Why strokes are on the rise (and who’s most at risk) The link between meth use and stroke What’s new in neuro rehab that’s actually helping people- How addiction impacts the brain, and why Monique brings her own experience into her work Tips for navigating the health system when sh*t gets complicated You can find Monique Davies here: https://www.thebrainphysio.com.au/ Thank you to our Production Team: Editing: Steve Dearden Marketing: Sarah Miller — Australia Wide Directory of Services: https://www.myservices.org.au/ Western Australian AOD Services: https://wanada.org.au/greenbook/ Aus AOD Phone Line: National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline: 1800 250 015 Aus Phone Lines for Anxiety, Depression, Suicide Ideation: Lifeline: 13 11 14 Suicide Call Back Services: 1300 659 467 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 Mind Spot: 1800 61 44 34 Head to Health: 1800 595 212 Mens Line: 1300 78 99 78 Aus Phone Lines for First Nations: 13YARN: 13 92 76 Thirrili: 1800 805 801 Aus Phone Lines for LGBTQIA+ Community: QLife: 1800 184 527 Aus Phone Lines for Children/Youth: Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800 Headspace: 1800 650 890 — Follow The Podcast Here: www.shtsfcked.com https://www.facebook.com/shtsfckedthepodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/shtsfcked/ https://www.youtube.com/@UChakY4S8T_A1iXIDSzQ8D3g https://www.linkedin.com/in/paris-le-maistre-880761b5/
In this episode, Paris sits down with Mike Miller, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, EMDR therapist, and founder of the Yatra Centre in Krabi, Thailand, to talk about what true trauma recovery can look like when you get the right support. After decades of international experience in addiction and mental health treatment, Mike created Yatra to offer something different: a peaceful, body-based healing space that integrates evidence-backed therapies like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and somatic work, all within the calm surrounds of southern Thailand. Mike shares what led him to develop Yatra’s unique "bottom-up" approach, why traditional top-down talk therapy often isn’t enough for deep trauma, and how clients at Yatra are supported not just psychologically, but emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
