What in the literal? It's candy?! I was expecting some kind of deep fried chicken monstrosity.

I'm not sure why but I am ridiculously tickled every time Lestat uses the word toesies in Butterscotch Bitch. (Not OC).

What it says in the subject line really. My Mum's 70 (quite a young 70) and various life events have triggered anxiety and depression for her.

There's a genetic predisposition in our family and she's experienced depression before. She's getting help from her GP and has started on medication, which I'm super proud of her for. I'm checking in regularly and I'm looking for some resources to help her.

Talk therapy isn't an option at the moment. While she's always supported my own therapy journey, she's not there yet herself and it's not really the right time to push it yet.

She does listen to podcasts to help with the insomnia though so I'm looking for some recommendations of good, down to earth, ones on anxiety and depression for her.

NZ ones would be preferable (just in terms of understanding how the systems here work) but that's not a dealbreaker.

As long as they are practical, not patronising or woo, and can stand up to a bit of cynicism and stubborness.

Any tips would be much appreciated!
