Totally Mental
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.
