Summary
In this raw and deeply honest conversation, Georgie is joined by content creator and all-around powerhouse Bella Messina to unpack the reality of what it really looks like to rebuild your life from the ground up — and share it online.
Bella opens up about navigating postpartum depression, her divorce, and finding her true self on the other side — all while facing intense public scrutiny and judgment from strangers on the internet.
Together, they dive into:
✨ The power (and pain) of sharing your darkest moments online
✨ Why we need professional support — and why it should be more accessible
✨ The stigma around women’s mental health and internalised misogyny in online spaces
✨ Why you don’t need to hit rock bottom to start healing (but if you do, you can rise)
✨ Owning your story and staying true to your “why” even when the world tells you not to
✨ Letting go of the need to be “liked” and focusing on impact instead
If you've ever felt alone in your struggle, afraid to take up space, or scared to own your truth, this conversation will remind you: you are not alone — you’re stronger than you think and you WILL rise, even if you can't see it right now.
