Rosie Waterland - From Bachie Recaps to Broken Brains

Nobody gets through life easy. Each of us has our own challenges and pains to manage as we navigate our different upbringings. But it’s a simple fact that some childhood stories are so incredibly difficult and traumatic, you wonder how someone could possibly survive it, let alone grow to thrive in the aftermath. Rosie Waterland is something of a miracle. These days she’s a celebrated author, comedian and podcaster (and just a wonderful human being). But if there was a checklist of childhood risk factors, it’s fair to say Rosie’s upbringing would tick almost all of them.

Rosie is currently touring the country promoting her new book, “Broken Brains”, co-written with colleague and friend, Jamila Rizvi. Today we are incredibly grateful to share our chat with Rosie, which while ultimately uplifting, does cover several heavy topics, including a discussion of suicide and self-harm. Listener discretion is advised, and if support is required please speak to your mental health professional, or call lifeline on 13 11 14.
