Meltdown Mondays with Mayana Mayana Barnes
-
- Health & Fitness
A podcast dedicated to the joys of oversharing and delving into the emotional and physical triggers that I have faced over the course of my life that have forced meltdowns. I analyse their cause and effect relationships that affect myself, the ones I love, and the subjects of our capitalist society. With this podcast I hope to bring awareness to the fact that nothing is all what it seems, and encourage a conversation and empathy to the people around us.
Guests will be a thing on here as well.
I am not a mental health professional. I just bought an $158 microphone and suddenly I am a God

The Topic Rhymes with Sharona Cyrus - 30/03/2020
The topic we cannot get away from and what we're all experiencing right now. You fucking guessed it, we got COVID-19. Strap in, pull the covers up tight as we talk about my own observations around the pandemic, my dissociation episode on the street earlier this week and how I'm coping by spending my days doing exactly when I do on my days off.
Stay safe, wash your hands you detty pig and let us begin.

WE ARE BACK from a 2 week break to discuss the good ol nugget of body dysmorphia - a phenomenon that has caused me much strife due to my own brain, society and clothing brands out to get us.

I Recorded the Aftermath of My Meltdown Because Nothing is Sacred - 17/02/2020
This week I had a very bad meltdown and felt compelled to record the aftermath. Grab some tissues and let us cry together as I try to calm down, awkwardly joke through the brain pain and piece together my thoughts.
