Becoming A Butterfly
Sarah Loftus
Helping others help themselves by sharing my experiences struggling with Mental Health for 10-12 years, then everything I learnt after.Not an educational lecture, but a friendly chat. Less highlights, more reality. Instagram: @smollsarahlS1: a range of topics that played a role in my struggles with Mental Health.S2: a range of topics that I explored & learnt about in the years following my Mental Health struggles.S3: recording the topics from S1 with a fresh perspective, after years of learning & growing from my Mental Health struggles.Everything I say is from personal experience - it may not relate to you, nor may you agree with it. I just hope to be a raw, unfiltered, uncensored, couch friend to anyone who wants to listen.

S2 #3 - Chronic Fatigue
An insight to what it's really like living with Chronic Fatigue. I struggled with it for around 6 months off the back of long COVID (which reoccured 3 times in 12 months) and glandular fever, leaving my body's immune system on the floor. I was scared to tell people what I was going through due to fears of judgement. Give it a listen and see what you can learn!

S2 #2 - ADHD
Unsurprisingly I can't even remember what I said in this episode - I recorded it impulsively and then left it for a week and now I'm not sure what I'm even talking about (ADHDers will understand). But hey, that's the beauty of my podcast - less highlights, more reality. Welcome to my weird n wonderful self talking about ADHD and how my diagnosis has positively changed my life.

In this episode I talk about money! A random topic it seems, but I have always had a lot of anxiety when it comes to earning, spending, and having money. I discuss the difficulties of this and how I've worked on it when travelling and making the most of my time.
