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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
