Facing Demons – The Candle Melbourne

When was the last time you danced with your demons? Our guests this week are PACFA Psychotherapist Giovanna, and Media Director Sasha, who produce and host The Candle Melbourne podcast, among a range of other artistic pursuits. Hosts Minti Dee and Dilly Dave re-unite to explore what it means to have a relationship with one’s mental health, the link between psychotherapists and horror media, and an insightful reminder about yellow snow.

They have served as traditional custodians of this land for over 60,000 years, living in harmony with our environment. Sovereignty was never ceded and we extend our respects to Indigenous elders past and present, and we strive for a better future in which our First Nations People are respected and at the forefront of society’s relationship with the land.
