Totally Mental
Hosted by Hannah Maine and Emily Schrems · EN
Totally Mental is about the real, messy, hard parts of being human. Mental health, breakups, therapy, sex, and all the other unedited shit that we all go through but never post to the Instagram grid. We’re taking you to the bathroom floor moments -- before things worked out, before the perspective or the ~glow up~, before it feels ok. Let’s get into all the feels together because you’re not alone on this rollercoaster. This is all a part of being human.

Transcribe →Busy but Not Fulfilled
Mar 15, 202301:02:55Tap to summarizeDespite being constantly occupied with work responsibilities, keeping up with relationships, and remembering to drink enough water, we may often still feel unfulfilled, dissatisfied, or lacking purpose. We may even recognize that being busy isn’t a status we strive for, yet we still find ourselves on the brink of burnout. So we dive deeper into why this may be happening and explore the impact of our work culture, societal expectations, and personal values on our actions and overall sense of fulfillment. We also talk about how we're addressing this in ourselves and trying not to just be busy for the sake of it but to be busy doing things that make us feel fulfilled.

Transcribe →Starting a New Job
Mar 8, 202300:49:29Tap to summarizeWe’re back! After a few weeks off we’re feeling rested, rejuvenated, and ready to shred the gnar again with you all. In this episode, we catch up on what it’s been like for both of us to start new jobs. Change - even when it's chosen and exciting - can still bring up a lot of uncomfortable feelings like anxiety and imposter syndrome. Plus, the complexities of starting a new job in a remote environment make it even more layered. So we are bringing you to our virtual bathroom floor where we discuss it all.

None of them are good or bad and growing our awareness of them without judgment can help us connect with each other.

Transcribe →Inside Therapy with Emma Mahony
Jan 18, 202301:07:42Tap to summarizeThis week we are super excited to have guest Emma Mahony on the podcast! Emma is a mental health therapist based on the East Coast. We found her on TikTok where she makes videos on topics ranging from things your therapist wants you to know, why people seek out therapy, questions a therapist may ask you, and generally draws back the curtain on what goes on in the therapy room in order to reduce the stigma and fear around it. She’s incredible, and we dive into it all the questions with her. Don’t worry, we already asked her to be Totally Mental’s resident therapist, so we hope to share more of her with you soon!

Transcribe →BTS of MLM Culture
Jan 11, 202301:06:41Tap to summarizeThis week we’re talking about MLMs! Han & Em have both had experiences on the inside of different MLMs so we’re pulling the curtain back on the toxic cultures promoted within, the reality of joining one, the ways they prey on vulnerable people (aka us lol), and more. Like most things, they aren’t necessarily inherently bad, toxic, and awful, but they certainly often are. Enjoy!Documentaries:Betting on ZeroLulaRichPodcastsBe There in Five - 149.

Transcribe →Dry January
Jan 5, 202301:10:23Tap to summarizeThis week we’re talking about Dry January. We did a poll on our Instagram on who’s participating and it was split directly down the middle. Whether you’re someone like Em who benefits from timelines, boundaries, and definitives around alcohol consumption or more like Hannah who intuitively feels it out, we cover both ends of the spectrum. We talk about being sober curious, our own relationships to alcohol, our stories around it, and more.
