Episode 24: Jordhan Mullen - Out of Monologue, Into Dialogue

Jordhan Mullen is 22 years old, Carolyn's PA, and one of the most self-aware people you'll meet at any age.In this episode, Jordhan opens up about growing up with a mum who was unwell for as long as she can remember, a dad who worked around the clock to hold everything together, and a childhood where moving around meant her older sister was often her only constant.She talks about the unspoken rule that held her family together for years, not talking about it, and how that silence followed her into adulthood. About arriving at her mum's door as a kid only to be turned around and taken home without explanation. About blaming her dad for years before finally understanding why.Jordhan also shares the moment a best friend changed everything, the grief of losing her mum during COVID and missing the funeral, and the realisation that moving to Wollongong wasn't coping. It was deferring.Honest, tender, and quietly powerful, this conversation is a reminder that opening up isn't weakness. It's the whole point.
