This week’s episode features a conversation with Bold Darling member Georgie Dent.  

Georgie is a writer, author, former lawyer and prominent advocate for women, gender equality, children and families. She is the executive director of The Parenthood, a not-for-profit parent advocacy group that campaigns for paid parental leave and access to quality early childhood education and care. 

Georgie is the best-selling author of Breaking Badly, a memoir that was published by Affirm Press in May 2019 to critical acclaim.  The book shares her account of her nervous breakdown, which is the topic of our conversation.

We cover: 
What tendencies/patterns she can see that hinted at her challenges later on 
Perfectionism and how that manifested in her life 
What life was like when she was approaching her breakdown
The experience of the breakdown itself 
Her road to recovery and what helped
What the turning point was when she realised that she were getting better
Her biggest learnings from the breakdown
What Georgie would say to any other woman who might be struggling with her mental health right now
How to support someone who's having mental health challenges

If you are finding life challenging right now, please do know that you are NOT alone and that you can be well and happy with the right support for you.
