Hi, I’m Corrina and yes,
I’m honestly mental.
Not in the ‘Not the Instagram-filtered meltdown.’ way.
In the ‘three inpatient stays, PTSD diagnosis, still-running-businesses-while-holding-everyone-else’ kind of way.
The kind that rides her own spiral while holding yours.
The kind that leads while still healing.
The kind that shows up even when her brain’s doing cartwheels and she’s shitting through the eye of a needle from anxiety.
I LIVE WITH ADHD, C-PTSD, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION 😵💫
AND A CHRONIC CASE OF VERBAL DIARRHOEA 💬 THAT TRIGGERS ONE-LINERS, LIFE BREAKTHROUGHS ✨, AND THE OCCASIONAL
“OH THANK FCK… it’s not just me.”🙋♀️
IT’S NOT SEXY. 🙈
IT’S NOT INSTA-WORTHY. 📉
IT’S HONEST. ❤️
AND IT’S WHY I’M REALLY FCKING GOOD
AT WHAT I DO 💪
The Mess That Made Me
I’ve raised babies while emotionally unravelling.
Built businesses from hospital beds.
Made spreadsheets sing with a trauma hangover.
I’ve cried in school carparks.
Screamed in the shower.
Answered the phone
when I had nothing left to give.
I co-authored a bestselling book
and hid it until launch day.
Not out of shame,
but fear you’d see the parts I’d spent years hiding.
I’ve broken things.
I’ve rebuilt things.
And somewhere in the mess,
I became someone softer, stronger,
and more honest than I’ve ever been.
“I don’t want to just
survive life or business.
I want to change
how we hold them.”

🧱 The Cost of Holding It All
I’ve been the one who holds it all.
Through three inpatient stays. 800km from home, my family, my babies.
Through miscarriages and mental health collapses.
Through quiet collapses behind the scenes of successful launches.And still, I held it.
For the clients.
For the businesses.
For the club meetings.
For the inbox.
For everyone but me.But no spreadsheet, strategy, or survival pattern is worth your soul.
And I’ve learnt the hard way that you don’t have to break in order to rebuild.
You just need to stop pretending you’re fine. -
📈 Not Just Honest — Qualified As Hell
People talk about being trauma-informed.
I am trauma-informed because I’ve lived it.
And I’ve built shit inside it.Scaled a retail business from $600K to nearly $10M
Led a 400% COVID reinvention of a store we were days away from closing
Took a friend's bookstore from $169K to $360K in under 8 months
Co-founded a mechanical business that grew from one ute and a dream to a fully staffed, systemised operation
Built brands. Rebuilt systems. Negotiated contracts. Secured grants
Created content strategies and clarified VMV for businesses still gasping for clarity
Was the first woman to join our local Rotary Club in 60 years — then rebranded the whole thing
And yeah — I’ve cleaned the toilets too.
Because I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.
I’m not here to perform. I’m here to build. -
💔 Why I Took It All On
I’ve held so many roles.
Because I thought if I could just do enough, be enough, carry enough — I’d finally be seen.
That achieving would make me worthy.
That service would earn me a seat at the table.
That holding space for everyone else would one day make me feel held.Now I know better.
And I help other women drop the shame, the shoulds, the over-functioning —
and start building in a way that works for them.
I Don’t Just Coach. I Translate Chaos.
I’m NLP-trained, trauma-informed, and deeply lived-in.
I don’t hand out formulas, I help you reclaim the way you think, feel, lead, and build.
I help you name what’s real, rewrite what’s not, and rebuild your systems without sacrificing yourself to them.
Because the truth is:
Should is shit💩
You are not broken — you’re just building differently 🧠
Boundaries are strategy, not selfishness
You don’t have to be healed to be helpful
Your story is sacred, even the messy bits
Tools should support your nervous system, not fry it ⚡️
You can lead, love and launch — even when your brain’s a bloody cupboard with Tupperware exploding every time you open the door.
And That Book?
I’m one of 24 women featured in
Try and Stop Her
— an Amazon #1 bestseller.
My chapter?
She’s Honestly Mental.
Because yeah, building a business while parenting, processing trauma, and trying not to scream into the void isn’t exactly a vibe.
It’s a fucking feat I’m still standing. Let alone writing.
✨ You’ll laugh. You’ll probably cry.
You’ll definitely feel less alone.
If you’re
overwhelmed,
overstretched,
or quietly falling apart
I see you. 🤍
Juggling too much and holding it all together with no space to fall apart?
Same.
I’ve been there. Still am, some days.
The overwhelm.
The pretending you’re fine.
The quiet grief of holding it all together while unravelling underneath.
You’re not broken —
You’re just carrying more than one nervous system was built for.
This isn’t a space where I fix you.
It’s a space where I sit in the mess with you.
Until you're ready to build something different.
If you’re craving a gentler way to live in your life, your work, your brain —
You’re not alone. I’m already there. 🤝
We don’t need a five-year plan.
We just need a place to begin.
We just need a person who gets it.
✴️ Let’s start here. Together.
