In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with psychologist Dr Thea Gallagher.

She discusses her career in mental health, focusing on anxiety and wellness, while balancing family life with four young children (including twins!). She opens up about her struggles with ADHD and the daily challenges of feeling inadequate. She also offers insights into coping strategies, self-acceptance, and the importance of recognising one's strengths amidst chaos.
