In today’s episode we’re diving into a raw and radically honest conversation about what it really takes to lead – when life and business collide.
I have a sit down with Corrina Rawlinson – co-owner of Spotty Mechanical and founder of She’s Honestly Mental – to talk about navigating complex PTSD, late ADHD diagnosis, and burnout… all while building scalable, profitable service businesses from the ground up.
Corrina’s journey is nothing short of powerful. From multiple hospitalizations to redefining what leadership and success look like, she’s now using her experience to help other women lead without losing themselves in the process.
Inside this episode:
✨ What happens when mental health forces you to hit pause – and how to come back stronger
✨ The surprising gifts of a late ADHD diagnosis (especially for women in business)
✨ Why clear roles and systems are non-negotiable in a sustainable business
✨ How She’s Honestly Mental is reshaping the conversation around motherhood, leadership & mental health
✨ The difference between scaling for growth vs. scaling for survival
✨ Why community isn’t optional for founders who want to last
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “going mental” trying to run a business and hold it all together – Corrina’s story will make you feel seen, heard, and equipped to do things differently.
Let’s build something sustainable – with systems, support, and zero shame.
