#225 She'll Be Right... Yeah, Nah with Katie McQuaid

TRIGGER WARNING this episode discusses depression and relevant mental health topics. This week it is my pleasure to be speaking with the beautiful, Katie McQuaid, author of “She'll Be Right... Yeah, Nah” a book that is a honest and reflective no-nonsense Kiwi approach to depression; that shines a light on what continues to be a growing concern in Aotearoa New Zealand and how, at the grassroots, we can offer straightforward, meaningful support. The first time I met Kaite, she was the MC at a wedding, little did I know about all the depth she’s carried beneath the surface and I’m so grateful for the discussion we got to have this week! A note from Katie: Kia ora e te whānau, my name is Katie and I’ve recently self published a book detailing my journey with depression, and tangible tips for loved ones to help support their loved one.
