Show Notes
Hi and welcome to episode 89 of the studio insider art podcast. It’s a new season and it’s also ADHD awareness month, so I’m kicking off with something that I haven’t done for a really long time- a solo episode.
I’ve been pretty open about my journey with ADHD of late, but what I’ve not talked about much on the podcast is my journey with other aspects of my mental health such as anxiety, insomnia and depression. And the truth is, that the two are very related and intertwined.
So, I’m sharing really transparently with you today about what my mental health journey has looked like, the treatments I’ve explored, and how my recent diagnosis of ADHD has brought a tonne of clarity to my overall mental health picture.
I feel really nervous about sharing this so openly with you, but I know it’s this kind of transparency that can help others the most. This episode won’t be for everyone, but I know that there will be a few people out there that will probably hear something they really needed to.
I also just need to say, this is a personal story. I’m not a medical professional and this episode is not medical advice. I hope it’s helpful.
In this episode, I talk about:
what it's like to find out you have ADHD at the age of 46 and how it's changed my life
most common misconceptions about taking medication for depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
what these symptoms looked like and how they impacted me in my university years
the therapy and medication that has worked for me and contributed to my overall health and wellbeing

Welcome to season 13! I’ve started a new season as I have recently started a new chapter of my life and career as an artist. Three months ago, I started my Master of visual at Federation University, which is here in my hometown of Ballarat. So I thought it was about to time to check in and let you know what I’ve been up to and how it’s been going.
Hi friends and welcome to episode 117. It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat. It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril.
