In this monologue, Corrina Rawlinson embraces her tendency to overshare as a purposeful gift, using candid conversation to spark life‑saving dialogues about mental health. She frames mental‑health care as a “toolbox” akin to a gym routine, urging listeners—especially women and those who support them—to develop personalized strategies (the “weights” and “treadmills” of mental wellness) that can be reached for when overwhelm strikes. The talk blends personal lived experience with a call to action: build, share, and use a mental‑health toolbox to foster self‑worth, belonging, and supportive care for others.

If I'm the one with the verbal diarrhea and the one that doesn't really have any boundaries when it comes to oversharing, then perhaps this is my gift and my purpose of being able to talk about mental health honestly, start these conversations in ways that actually save lives and help women believe and understand their worth and how beloved they are. I hope that you can start to build and find different ways that support your brain. I'm gonna talk a lot about having your own little mental health toolbox It's like you go to the gym and you've got the weights and the treadmill and the squats and all of the rest of it, and you know that these are ways that you can support your physical body. You make sure you eat all the right things. These are the kind of conversations and the kind of things that I want people to understand about their mental health. And if you're listening because you care for someone or you support someone or you just want to understand what it's like from someone who's had that lived experience of living with mental health, I hope that you can get some things out of this to be able to support those people around you build their own little mental health toolkit, that thing that they can reach to when they're feeling really overwhelmed.
