Monty Dimond - Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired

About this episode

<p>It&rsquo;s a Monty type of day - and thank god, because this week we welcome the brilliant Monty Dimond into the studio.</p> <p>In this episode, Monty opens up about the heartbreak of losing her mum&mdash;her person, her sense of home and safety. She speaks candidly about the tunnel vision of ambition, living with imposter syndrome, and how a debilitating chronic illness left her bed-bound for 90% of last year.</p> <p>Hugh and Monty share an incredibly vulnerable chat about parenting neurodivergent children; sharing the intense challenges, boundless love and ways they can show compassion to themselves and others.</p> <p>If you're not familiar with Monty yet, she's the founder and co-host of the Show and Tell platform, which includes the newly released podcast iChronic, Monty is a pillar of Australian media (including a co-hosting a national drive show with our very own Sheltzy).</p> <p>Monty, we are in awe of you.</p> <p>To watch this full video of YouTube, follow this link:<a href="https://bit.ly/3GVUYmf"> https://bit.ly/3GVUYmf</a></p> <p>🫖&nbsp;Other Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode:</p> <ul> <li>Janelle Booker - Living with ADHD - <a href="https://bit.ly/42GsmEJ">https://bit.ly/42GsmEJ</a></li> <li>Hugh&rsquo;s Open Letter to Parents of Neurodivergent People - <a href="https://apple.co/4l4kw0m">https://apple.co/4l4kw0m</a></li> <li>Michael (Wippa) Wipfli - Light at the End of the Tunnel - <a href="https://bit.ly/3F6wy9d">https://bit.ly/3F6wy9d</a></li> </ul> <p>🎧&nbsp;Things to listen to:</p> <ul> <li>iChonric - <a href="https://bit.ly/4j1d3gb">https://bit.ly/4j1d3gb</a></li> <li>Show and Tell - <a href="https://bit.ly/3ZfWiGR">https://bit.ly/3ZfWiGR</a></li> </ul> <p>💻&nbsp;Things to check out:</p> <ul> <li>Kristy Forbes&rsquo; Workshops - <a href="https://bit.ly/43eFxNK">https://bit.ly/43eFxNK</a></li> </ul> <p>🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, purchase the Vulnerabilitea House Cards here -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP">https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP</a></p> <p>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel)&nbsp;<em>My Imperfect Life,</em>&nbsp;click here -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP">https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP</a></p> <p>🩷To subscribe to the Vulnerabilitea-mail weekly newsletter, join through our website -&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theimperfects.com.au/">www.theimperfects.com.au</a></p> <p>🩵To join our patreon community, <em>A Little More Imperfects,</em> follow this link - <a href="http://patreon.com/theimperfects">patreon.com/theimperfects</a></p> <p>🩷 AND you can subscribe to <em>A Little More Imperfects</em> through Apple Podcasts too, here <a href="http://apple.co/theimperfects">apple.co/theimperfects</a></p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
