In this one, Courts gets real about how mental health doesn’t look the same for everyone. From the heavy days to complex conditions, she opens up about why support has to be more than just “positive vibes only.” This is a talanoa for anyone who’s ever felt unseen. You’re not too much. You matter.

There are things we carry that we’ve never had the words or permission to speak about. In this episode, I open up about fat shaming, childhood gaps, feeling lost, and the journey to reclaim my mental health. This is about unlearning shame and finding space to heal.

In Episode 2 of The Talanoa Lounge, we dive into the silent struggle of imposter syndrome — especially for Pasifika navigating spaces we’ve often been told we don’t belong. Real talk, lived experience, and reminders that you are enough.
